Grammar
July 10th, 2008
I confess that each of my entry has grammatical errors and most of them are fragments. I can’t fix them because I’m too lazy to be technical and I’m very bad with fragments.
However, that does not stop me from criticizing other people. It really annoys me that people are writing just for the sake of writing in English. They don’t concern themselves of the correctness. I know a cocky bastard has said that every time he posts an entry, he has two or three people read his draft first. You don’t have to go that far, but at least be aware of the basic — spelling, tenses, and plurality. TV and music can be dangerous on the latter because Ebonics does not follow correct plurality.
If you are blogging, if you can’t properly use the basic grammar, then I suggest you write in your natural language or proofread before you publish. I’m easily disturbed when I’m reading a piece with incorrect grammar. I feel like editing everything before reading it again.

I laughed out loud at this one. I understand because I cringe inwardly at bad grammar especially in writing because you see the words jumping out. But I’m not so quick to criticize because I know my English is not perfect either (notice but at beginning of sentence). High blood ka na naman eh.

I feel better afterwards :D I had to write it because I’ve been keeping the thought for so long…and I ran out of topic because I couldn’t remember the thought I had on the bus :(
