sunshine again Posted June 16, 2012 #35 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I just cleaned up a thread deleting about 1/4 of all the posts and all they were doing were commenting on grammar, spelling and sentence/paragraph structure....REALLY?......so please stop......We do know who is doing this and not just on that thread...... as a reminder this is from our community guidelines.....Thank you. It is important to remember that everyone makes mistakes at one time or another, and that there are many users who use English as a second language, especially on our Cruise Boards. There are also a number of people who suffer from learning disabilities and who have difficulty noticing their spelling mistakes. Do not make comments on the spelling and grammar of other users. It is simply not a productive expenditure of energies. Where is that **LIKE** button... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loubetti Posted June 16, 2012 #37 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I have to agree, Randy. I've been on forums for some 14 years (mostly aviation ones), have been a moderator too, and while non-use of paragraphs and poor grammar and spelling irk me, I resist the urge to comment on it. I'm not perfect either. "There, their, here, hear, steward, stewart".... Heck, I'm so anal I need to think about when to use a semi-colon! The English language is no day at the beach! Then we have the differences between American English and British English. Is it "center" or "centre"? Pronunciation can also be different. Hard to describe it here, but words such as "inventory", "controversy" and others are pronounced differently between the two countries. Heck, I have a book about the differences! A WHOLE BOOK! Never mind those for whom English is a second language. I give them credit for dealing with this amalgamation of many languages. Good for you to put this in perspective. However, please, on a ship it is "steward", not "stewart". ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andoria Posted June 16, 2012 #38 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Sorry, I'm guilty of pointing out paragraph length and font color. A few months ago, someone took the time to write out a review and only two people commented. The OP wrote the entire review without breaking up paragraphs. I don't know about anyone else but if I took the time to write out a review and no one commented, my feelings would be hurt. Isn't it better for someone to say, "hey,if you broke up the paragraphs, it's easier for people to read?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy & Carmen Posted June 16, 2012 Author #39 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Yes, Virginia, there IS a Host Randy. Not too sure about his alter-ego Host Kinky, though. Jim Well to shed some light on that....Many years ago I was having electrical problems in my area with the transformer that is behind my house.... There would be a day or two with no electricity and I would go to Kinkos to use their computer....Several knew I was doing that and started calling me Host Kinky....Laura, in an attempt to be funny, added it to my name:p......so now you know the REST of the story. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
