My Friday Rant
What is with some people today???? I was reading an interview on the web and gave up because of the very bad grammar and spelling. How hard is it to ensure you use the right word in the right context?? And spelling!!!! F fucking 7 people….. Sheesh….
So, before you start on me let me use the excuse that all my grammatical errors and misspelt words are deliberate…..
I just plain refuse to read crap… If it’s not legible it is crap!!!!!
Discuss!!!!

Every profile we are sent for throwtail does my head in Trev.
The dilema:
Do I, as the editor, rewrite and reword it? Or do you leave it because thats the way they wanted it? I don't want to peeve people because I changed their wording.
All I can do is add full stops, capitals and do a spell check.
It's really frustrating.
I used to be really lazy but I'm getting better. I blame texting.
What do you think? Should I do a full on edit?
Ah he dilemma Nikki & Trev. After a number under the belt, I've arrived at the compromise point. typo's, capitals and obvious spello's I fix. Their own wording and flow i pretty much leave, as that is the flavour of the interviewee (even though sometimes the flavour isnt too sumptuous) cos that is the way it is.
Yeah nikki.. I agree with doc.. Keep doing the typo and caps etc… That just peeves me… Btw.. You guys weren't involved in this final straw that broke the camels back…. But it is close to home
You are the spelling police Trev, and you scare me.
I shall call you 'Grammar Nazi'.
But, somebody's got to do it. Heaven knows what gibberish would result if someone didn't hold some kind of standard.
