Wow. I'm a refugee from nearly 20 years in journalism. When you **** up two of the first six words in your report, you leave the reader wondering if you are a trustworthy source on anything.
Sid fashioned a hell of a career without being able to spell "cat" if you spotted him a "C' and a "T," but I don't know if that's possible anymore. Yes, social media and a disintegrating educational system are rendering Americans mostly illiterate, but still ... if you're making your living as a writer, for Christ's sake learn to write. And spell. And grammar. (Yeah, I know that last one is ****ed up. But you got the message, right?)
I like the analysis but so many typos, weird sentences, etc that its very hard to read. Its like a rough draft a middle schooler hands in then the teacher does edits.
I’d volunteer to proof read for him.
I don't think it has anything to do with the educational system. Has more to do with the erosion of traditional journalism, where writers actually had editors. Now people just type away and post it online before anyone else looks at it.
You probably should start by proof reading your post.
You’re right, my forum post from my cell phone is similar to someone who does it for a living and wants people to pay for content.
Also, not entirely sure whats wrong with my post?
