True, HOWEVER, LONG SPANS OF LATIN-ALPHABET TEXT IN ALL UPPER-CASE ARE HARDER TO READ BECAUSE OF THE ABSENCE OF THE ASCENDERS AND DESCENDERS FOUND IN LOWER-CASE LETTERS, WHICH CAN AID RECOGNITION (THIS WAS LIFTED FROM WIKIPEDIA). I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE TRUE AND ALWAYS WONDER WHY THE ELECTIONIC SIGNS ON HIWAYS ARE ALL UPPPER-CASE.

WTF is up with this SHIT of not knowing about English lang/words?

Although I might mess with you head, if you're TORO,

OMG! THAT's another one! Your/You're.

You asshats have MADE me have to do this,

BUTT,

I honestly don't mind!

For realz.

I love language. It's the ONLY way we have, to SAY shit, you know?

For most of my life, I read books; and, for a wonder, someone who knew English sort of proofread them.

I'll do it for you. I honestly do not mind. But please, no more "than" for "then"; nor "there" for "their" or "they're"; or any more of this bogus bullspit.

Learn the language, or don't write it, okay?

Or send it to me, and I'll edit it and return it to you for approval. Okay?

My PM is open. My e-addy is available. I have the time, and I can rest assure you while I have no ambitions to being a proofreader, I do take pleasure from it.

We should know our language; we should be able to speak and write in our native language. What the fuck is up with this shit of not knowing about English language or words? If you wonder, PM me.

Although I might mess with your head, if you're Toro.

Oh my goodness! That's another one: "Your -- You're".

You asshats have forced me to do this, but I honestly don't mind. Truly.

I love language. It's the only way we have to convey ideas, you know?​

There. Fixed that for you.

 

[daveman]

So, if you're not going to fix grammatical, spelling, or usage errors...what good are you as a proofreader?

 

[MikeK]

Be careful!

I think Fyrenza intends to plagiarize our masterworks. I also think he ghosted George W. Bush's book, Decision Points.

Cripes! THAT's how I ended up saying I was from/in Armenia,

THINKING I had selected America!

It doesn't always work...

 

[Dis]

Good lord.

You can't even proofread your own shit, prior to hitting "Submit Reply".

How in the hell are you going to proofread/correct someone else's writings?

That's every true. It's why some children who have a problem reading usually are enormously helped by learning by phonetics first and then trying to grasp all the weird logic behind the English language.

 

[Paulie]

What the fuck is with the wEnder thing?

I decided that's the most annoying thing I've ever seen.

Maybe this?

Urban Dictionary: wender

Or some kind of private joke. Who cares...she just likes to think she's clever.

 

[Big Black Dog]

She must have had a crush on her high school English teacher...
