I often have to hold myself in check when I think about making a snarky comment about bad grammar and spelling in news stories because I usually make a mistake when I'm correcting someone else. Plus, I don't even know why that stuff bothers me as much as it does, but I guess it's because journalists are being paid to write stories, and I expect them to be able to get their "their, there and they'res" right. And it's interesting how many people get snippy and snarky with the anonymity of the internet. I really think people should have to use their real names when they're posting comments on news websites, because it seems to be the same trolls posting over and over again, but that's a different story, because it gets into people's bizarre political comments, trying to bait the "other" side. >________________________________ > From: "Eaton, Shari" >To: JMDL LIST >Sent: Tuesday, March 5, 2013 12:36:25 PM >Subject: Re: Let The Wind Carry Me v Lesson in Survival > >Those songs do run together ..

I often think of it when speaking with people via social avenues. It makes me laugh and puts it all into perspective. Knowing people solely through typing has it's awkwardness. > >Also, I'm married to a very honest, sharp tongued englishman who has thickened my skin like no one could. I am rather sensitive in nature but after 8 years of being together I'm fully aware of just how human I am. It's much easier for me to say 'yep, I am wrong. It happens.' than to get all bent out of shape. Helps me learn and grow as well. Nonetheless, thanks for being cordial about it. :) > >Lots of Joni, >Shari ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2013 #344 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
