One thing that I simply cannot stand are badly written e-mails. And apparently I’m not the only one. I know quite a few intelligent people who seem to have only a passing familiarity with the written English language. Are we English majors the last line of protection against a world where capitalization and punctuation don’t exist? I’ve tried writing sloppy e-mails when I’m pressed for time, but I can never bring myself to hit “Send.” I always go back and edit everything. Dr. Pennington, my Advanced Composition prof at St. Norbert, would be proud.
Someone told me they tried posting a comment but that if was rejected for “inappropriate content.” The hell? Other than spammers, everyone is free to comment. The dirtier, the better, in fact. Is anyone else having this problem?

  1. The rejected comment may have had words that are in your current blacklist. It has happened to me, when trying to write a response to somebody.
    Basically, I want my commnets dirty; it makes them look appealing.

  2. I think you mean “What the hell?” 🙂

  5. Yep, I’ve had at least 2 maybe 3 messages in the last 2 months, not appear. I am now surprised when my message even shows up. I thought maybe my retorts were censored. I personally believe paranoia is an increased sense of awareness.
