Editing and Jessica

Recommended Posts

Does anyone else on here think twice about posing something with less than perfect grammar due to our very own grammar police??

I sometime start sentences with "and." I know it is wrong, but sometime it just fits the post.

I hope I don't drive you too crazy, Jessica!:P

Quite often, my posts contain grammatical and spelling errors. It's a proof reading thing, as in, I seldom do it.

Hmmm... I'd most certainly say something different.

You bring up a very good point. I am very conscious of my grammar and spelling due to Jessicakes' presence here. I think it is the result of the many years of Catholic school and I am dealing with transferance from the nuns to Jessicakes.

It's just a theory, but I do believe it has some merit.

I kind of wish the moderators would give our Jessicakes the power to stamp our posts with a gold star, when they are written well.

Now, when it comes to using metaphors and setting the scene, I am much more concerned with Michele. She too, should have the gold star power.

Jessicakes is a nun? I think this is how rumors get started. ;)



Holy crap, you obviously haven't met her.:D

I do try to use proper grammar and usage, but it's not due to any grammar police or Ms. 'Cakes.

I simply want to use these because that is the way I was taught; one's command of his or her language and its use is a reflection of the value one puts into that language.

It is fun at times to write in dialect or slang, especially on a fun thread, but I believe if a person wants to be taken seriously that person should write properly.

That doesn't mean I go over everything with a fine toothed comb or that I agonize over every sentence's structure to polish my prose. It does mean I try to write to the standards I was taught and it does irritate me when I later see a mistake that I didn't catch.

Yes, I did consider majoring in English, but was deterred by the thought of teaching a herd of teenaged nerds like me.:$

Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Now that sounds interesting;) I would also like to hear about the incident, Phree?

When I write, I often just write....and don't worry about how it comes across...I try to take the pictures out of my head and string the words together so it gets into your head. Sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't. But it can be odd...I'll sit down at a keyboard, and start, and then the hands come off sometime later, and I'm done. Not a lot of conscious thought therein (which can be attested to by some of the strange content and bizarre commentary included in my posts).

I have, however, been accused of proofing a post even when I'm drunk...

As for Jessica, that lady rocks. She has taught me more about writing than I've ever learned in a class. And she's a good hearted person, even when she's seeing the world through ironic glasses.

Anne, start a sentence with "And". Sometimes, the sentence idea demands it. Jess understands...

Ciels-
Michele
