Spelling and grammar

[RED-DOG]

I have always struggled with my writing, I am still trying to learn the rules of grammar and punctuation, and although my spelling is improving, I still have to check many simple words

Until I found blonde, I had no reason to try to learn to write, then suddenly I discovered this place that was filled with interesting, friendly people

I so wanted to take part, but that meant writing, and I was, still am, to some extent, very self-concious and embarrassed about it

I took the plunge, tentative at first, some of my first posts took an age to write, and then another eon to pluck up the courage to press the 'send' button,  but I was spurred on by a little positive feedback and the knowledge that my atrocious handwriting was disguised by the keyboard

Once I started, I couldn't stop, It seemed to fill a need in me, like an animal obeying an instinct, I didn't know why It felt so good, it just did

I have often said that I owe blonde a great deal, but most people wouldn't guess the reason I feel so indebted

Blonde allowed me to start to learn to write, and to discover how much I enjoy it

If I had read some of the recent posts, the ones that criticise peoples spelling and grammar, I would have closed the page and that would have been that

Please remember, there may be many people viewing these boards who, like me, are insecure about their writing skills

If you're serious don't worry about it.

Eitherway, I can't help but ask if your full stop button is broken?

I myself find it very hard to 'mix' with people. I have always been a 'loner' and can happily sit with my own company for hours on end.

Blonde has helped me to "get involved" with other people.

Yet another reason why Blonde is the place to be.

I agree with Red Dog, the comments on spelling can be quite hurtful towards some and deters others from posting, so let's hope it stops soon.

I would just hate to think someone may be put off posting here becase their spelling may be criticised

Great post Red, I have always been bad at reading and writing, its not that i dont try, because i do. I have also posted before on other site, which i got slanted for! i dont write on there any more. some people are good at reading and writing and some good with maths, my maths is spot on, so i see this ways it out.

what extra 10k?

Appologies.  I meant what I said about don't worry about it.  Corrections to spelling and grammar in public forums are my pet hates.

Red-Dogs posts are great and the forum is better for them.  I hope he undertstands no malice was intended.

Excellent post Red-Dog.  I am sure there are loads of people out there who want to post. But are afraid to because they feel unsure over grammer.

After reading your post, I hope they think again and just go for it. Afterall this isn't an english class, it is suppose to be fun.

I admit, I am in the same position as you are. I don't have a clue where to use comma's, full-stops, paragraphs and puntuation.  I just guess and use my trusted 99p dictionary from bargain books. Some lecturers at Uni have picked up on my poor use of grammer and have made negative comments. This dosen't bother me as I know we are all here for different reasons.

Mine is to win the pokerstars blonde game next Sunday....

Your posts are always witty and amusing.

Respect for writing this one. I am convinced it will help others to get over their nervousness about joining in with the fun on blonde.

Hope you have got over the flu
