Is anybody just a little annoyed when they read CSR posts that are riddled with spelling and grammar errors? In the big scheme of things its a small thing but so easy to correct prior to hitting Post.
I for one tend to draw conclusions of a poster's intelligence and authority on a subject based on the way they communicate as I am sure we all do to some degree.
I'll be the first to admit that I am far from perfect especially when it comes to run-on sentences and proper use of punctuation. If we are going to take the time to comment on issues or answer member's questions, I think we should take 30 seconds to proof read and correct the errors that often are just a product of chubby fingers on an I phone keyboard.
It may just be that I am so used to seeing sloppy assignments turned in by my adult students. I constantly remind them that the reader of a document judges the producer of said document by their use of proper grammar, spelling and punctuation. I teach in the aviation maintenance industry so a sloppy log entry can be an indicator of how a repair or service was conducted.
Just wondering if it bothers anyone else? Sorry but I'm a little bored, tired of GF and Covid posts, finally have my boat updated as far as I'm likely to go and as far as I know, every thing is actually working.
