And a lot of correct usage can sound pretentious if used in an informal setting. One of my favourite blogs (no longer published) was written by a woman who had NO SPARE TIME at all -- four kids, one with profound special needs -- but who took time jot a few words and share a picture occasionally. Her writing was riddled with errors and typos, but her sentiments were worth going out of my way to read. I just had to consciously take off my "Editor" hat while doing so.Wordfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655930772371361091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966747504559676498.post-44225170350270694302014-10-16T16:04:16.079-04:002014-10-16T16:04:16.079-04:00I do believe that everyone should know how to writ... I do believe that everyone should <i>know</i> how to write correctly. However, it does not necessarily follow that you always <i>must</i> write well. Or perfectly. I suppose it's a matter of: know the rules; than you may break them - occasionally. <br />I find with blog reading, it's nice to hear the author's voice in the piece. Which means, people often will write exactly how they speak. This can be interesting and add to the tone of the writing; or, conversely, severely detract from the writing. As with all things: balance is the key.LA Botcharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045857399816360885noreply@blogger.com
