The written word is the only way that one can communicate on this board. If you don't take enough time to properly convey your ideas, why should anyone consider them? Like it or not, your diction, grammar, spelling and other written conveyances communicate as much, or more than, whatever you are opining about to many people.

 

If you and I were together and I employed a rudimentary grunt and point communication style, I might get the point across, but you'd probably want to bust me in the mouth after twenty minutes. Ignoring the rules of written communication is analogous, to me anyway. :foryou:

Writing properly helps convey your meaning. As an example, you have used the word diction, which has to to do with the choice of words, i.e. little versus small. Perhaps this is what you meant, but I get the feeling that you are actually referring to spelling and grammar?????

I used to think it was just obnoxious old timers picking on newbies, but i have realized that this board is linked to a comic grading website, people here are looking for defects in comic books, differences between a 9.6 and a 9.8, if they weren't picky and obsessive they wouldn't be here.

 

I presume that they are like that in several aspects of their lives including posting 2c

I generally like taking the time to look over my posts for grammatical errors before hitting the submit button, but I am one of those crazy people who prefers to NOT look like a complete person_having_a_hard_time_understanding_my_point when writing or speaking. Your mileage may vary.

Wally, you should try just talking into your key board.

 

(shrug)

not really there is just so much more people could be doing with their lives.

 

I bet if you tried to "+1" or "fixed that for you" on the street

you'd get bum rushed!

 

Anyway it's just a rant that people are growing more and more anal here

on this chit!

 

IOWS - Get off my Diction!
