Oh well, everyone else is giving opinions, so I might as well, too. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif There was a time when I actually read all the posts, but now there are too many for me to find time to keep up with all of them, so I try to just quickly scan them, stop and read those of the most interest to me, or that I want to respond to. Polecat was a perfect example of the quoted comment. I get the impression that he's a knowledgeable and likeable fellow, and probably has good information that I might be interested in, but I read almost nothing of what he posted because of my lack of patience.
Now I'm not asking Polecat, or anyone else, to change his/her writing style; that's for them to decide. If they want me to read what they write, they have to change enough to make it simple for me to read, but if they don't care whether I read what they write, then I don't care either, and we're both happy. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Of course, as for grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors, I usually notice them because I, and my employees, had to do a lot of writing, and I have a tremendous amount of experience at proofreading. I'm certainly not the best in the world, but I'm pretty good at catching other writers' little errors. But I also learned long ago that I (and I suspect a lot of other people) am better at catching others' errors than I am at catching my own. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif So while I proofread everything my employees wrote, I also asked one or more of them to proofread what I wrote.
So, in a forum such as this, I like for the writing style to be simple and easy to read, but don't care about the little errors as long as the meaning is clear. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
