This one I am not.
A friend of mine once told me that my grammar was attrocious. I was shocked, appalled … then denial struck in. Me!! Bad grammar??? Noooooooo!!! I called him a grammar Nazi.
Today, as I was reading through a blog of another friend, I saw the painstaking process through which she goes when making a post. A first cut in Word, then grammatical changes, then posting on the platform, and then revisions. With many re-reads thrown in.
In the process of making a blog post, the content and the idea keep on getting refined. I compared that to my writing style and I realized, that yes … I do create a lot of grammatical errors … in the process of blurting out my post, no reviews, no revisions, no drafts. Let’s see if I can be a better blogger by revisiting my work.
Hehe… C’mon, I would never say your grammar is BAD.. Its just that your entries are… aah, whats the word… colloquial. :)
(Btw, I re-read this comment thrice before posting it. I need help.) :D
Wow! I never even read what I write!
Hey “friend” :-), I never said that it was you who said my grammar was BAD :), it was another friend (his blog is also linked … check)
Biggie, thats how I was until I started re-reading my writings and found terrible mistakes in them!!
I do it with official mails :( and realize only after my work-mates call me up and start laughing.
Spelling of atrocious is not attrocious.
You don’t create grammatical errors, you make grammatical errors.
Can you blurt out your posts? You may want to blurt out your thoughts.
And revisiting your work would mean coming back to it after some time of publishing it. I guess you meant revising it (that is going through it before you publish it).
Sorry. :D
Thought this would be an apt comment for this post.
Guys, hello. This is Kida’s first linked friend :P
@durga – I can empathize with that.
@amit – fker, at this rate, I create them :-) … I think you are pushing it a bit too much now. So this is what I think of your corrections _|_ … there!!
We are engineers, we dont need no rules of grammer!!
@Aina – hear hear!! aye!!
