I Can Has Writing Skillz?
posted February 20, 2009 - 3:21pmIt’s okay. Maybe nobody noticed….*glances around* Did they? No, no, I don’t think so. Phew. After the recent undercurrent of anti bad-grammar/terrible-writing-skills/atrocious-spelling feelings, I thought maybe some folks would notice and then think I was doing it on purpose. But I swear, I wasn’t! < p>
I didn’t mean to spelling it ‘beliving’ instead of 'believing' or to omit several important adjectives so that my sentences read like a slurring, drunken Albanian pirate first thing in the morning. Honestly, if those comments I posted were ever marked by the Board of Education it would be in red pen with letters such as F and D- written all over. Although in saying that, I’ve heard in recent years that they are now allowing children to write in txt-language on their exams; - you know, the whole ‘2’ means ‘to’/’too’ or ‘u’ means ‘you’. Anyways, I digress so I won’t speak of that jazz (and also because it really pisses me off).
Don’t worry, it’s been corrected now; those double letters and missing words that seemed to pop up at least 3 or so times in every comment I posted this evening. It’s just that I’ve been working real hard all day; Lady Luck and Mr Fate joined forces to challenge me by making sure I work with a bunch of mean-assed (not mention lazy and racist) psycho-beasts.
So, you see, they’ve all guaranteed that I’m exhausted by the end of the day with my brain buzzing around my skull, chasing a multiplex of thoughts and feelings. Sometimes I can be thinking of these thoughts and maybe, for a second or two, I space-out and forget about what I’m writing, omitting a few words as I go. So…you know… that’s why my sentence might read “There once was a Canada flew out of the sky” instead of “There once was a badger named Jeff and he went on holiday to Canada. Monkeys flew out of his butt and the sky was on fire.” See? The last sentence made much more sense….grammatically. I didn't mean to miss out whole sections of sentences tonight,they just....escaped.
Also, it’s Friday and I’m trying to get some writing done (albeit apathetically) before spending some much needed alcohol-fuelled/quality time with my loving, understanding spouse. Again, my concentration for writing flags somewhat.
I have music playing at the moment. Not any specific genre, just a medley of tunes ranging from up-beat country to epic classical to somewhat-heavy metal. These varying tempos and lyrics and song-provoked-vibes can also contribute to my writing quality, or lack thereof. Seriously, I didn’t mean to write ‘form’ instead of ‘from’, or ‘thougrts’ when it should have been ‘thoughts’.
So I’m sorry if anyone noticed my many writing mistakes this evening but I have a lot on my mind and I think it also has some problems of its own o_0.
At least with this article, I have used a Word programme instead of writing directly into the Xombyte space as I usually do. Although, due to my sometimes ‘colloquial’ style of writing, words like ‘gonna’, ‘kinda’ and ‘ain’t’ tend to show up as spelling errors. I refuse to change/correct them; - I like writing the way I speak.
I like writing to y’all in a relax kind of manner. It’s not like I write this way when communicating on a professional level. It doesn’t mean I slur my words in ‘real-life’, nor does it mean I have no grasp on the English language.
So please, don’t judge my writing when it contains a grammatical error or a spelling mistake. Don’t think I do not care about the quality of my writing or that I am lazy. I’m simply human and I make mistake......o_0
And also, I do has writing skillz.
