Now that I am back from Victoria, I have been catching up reading through all the fun comments to each post. Then I get to the comment the title of this post is all about
"Speaking of having pride in your work, calling someone out for poor writing skills in the comments section is quite disingenuous considering what you allow Jon to write. He couldn't even be bothered to spell Wardley's name correctly three times the other day. He often has errors in his writing, yet no one has enough pride to edit his entries. He doesn't nor does the blog's owner."
Nice poke at me. Nice low blow. Way to tell the truth. Way to make personal.
This is going to come across as a pity post, but I really don't care.
I graduated from high school with straight A's in computer, math, and science, and with straight D's and F's in reading and writing. When I graduated, I was testing at a 9th grade reading level, and an 8th grade writing level. I had to have an editor / tutor most of high school just to help me write papers, all the while I was tutoring other students in math areas. In elementary school when they had spelling charts on the walls, and all the students got little gold and silver stars next on their lines, mine was blank. On my SAT's I scored a 1150 (out of 1600). 790 of that (out of 800) was math. So anyone should be able to come up with 360 (out of 800) I got on the Language part. And yes, just to answer all the smart ass statements I have received throughout the years, you do get 300 just putting your name down.
Believe me, I edit my posts before I make them. In fact, I usually read them twice. It sounds and reads good (or is that well, sorry if I got that wrong) to me. I'm sorry if it is not perfect, contains errors, doesn't sound right, or is not at a level that you expect. I'm sorry if I am missing a comma, semi-colon, or spell someone's name wrong. I'm really sorry that I have to look up what "disingenuous" even means (and yes, I have to cut and and paste it into BING.COM, because there is no way I could just spell it).
If you want well written newspaper quality reporting, feel free to read the MyNorthwest.com stuff. Oh yeah, you CAN leave comments on there also, but no one does. Or how about reading the Thunderbirds actual website articles, which you CAN leave comments on also, but no one ever does. Or better yet, just don't read the articles written by me (and to help you figure that out, look for the "POSTED BY JON" at the bottom of them.
But DONT EVER, EVER, EVER say I dont take PRIDE in my writing.
