Welcome to

Now here’s a good post for other bloggers (and anyone who writes for the consumption of others): Six Common Punctuation Errors that Bedevil Bloggers goes over a bunch of common errors. I’m picky about punctuation and spelling, so I can really identify with this post. It drives me crazy to see poorly written material, whether it’s online or in print. I’ve always felt that’s like hanging out a sign which says “Not That Smart.”

It’s one thing if you’re not a native english speaker. In that case, I have sympathy for you– you’ve really got your work cut out for you. But if english is your mother tongue, get with the program.

Just last week I was at a trade show where I noted one company which had a big sign in their booth with a mispelled word. Doh! These days, with spellcheck installed on every computer, you don’t even need to know how to spell yourself– you just have to take the time to let the computer fix your mistakes.
