I had no trouble reading this. It has a certain rhythm/cadence that make reading of any kind pleasurable. Good writing is done by those who consider the written word a form of music. The rest is sleep meds, except when the topic is important to the reader, or student.Words incorrectly spelled is either a sign of mental illness or personal carelessness. A slob by any other word, spells carelessly and dresses with equal abandon.

I'm sorry but this beautifully written opinion of yours is crap!

Oh, gawd! It is?

If you know anything about my own postings on EVC you will know or could hear from others here that I often to do not use proper English. I could but I do not think this affects my communication when it comes to what matters.

That's really a shame. It is also tiring to read something that may be of interest but falls short of inciting excitement. In other words, the reader may find your subject interesting, but gives up reading and the opportunity to learn, because of sloppy writing habits.

This shows why sometimes it IS better to spell, and punctuate, and use grammar correctly since communication down under apparently staid, well stale and burnt.

The skill of the writer becomes apparent when he uses simple words, spelled and used correctly, to reach all readers. Therefore, it is always better. Seems to me you know better.

Brad, no offense, but just how many people do you think actually read your more cryptic posts? I'll be honest right here and say that I tend to skip right over them and look for summaries or responses by other people.
When it comes to what matters, don't you think it's kinda pointless if nobody could understand what the hell you're saying?

​

Here is an example. Suppose I find out that the end of the world comes next year unless everyone in the world turns gay. The message that really matters is "Hey people, we all need to turn gay so the world doesn't end next year." But since I'm in a state of panic, all I could say is "MUST TURN GAY MUST TURN GAY OR WE ALL DIE MUST TURN GAY!!!!!" Or I could be even more cryptic and say "hooga booga" repeatedly.

​

How on Earth can what really matters gets conveyed if nobody could understand what the hell I'm saying?

I love it!

Poetically said but it just might come back and bite you up the arse one day.

Oh, the thrill of it!
