A note from the author

I love to write, but grammar and punctuation are not my strong suit. I do not have a proofreader. I am more concerned about the content of my posts than their grammatical correctness.


I did a little research on the decline of writing standards in our country. Here's a little snippet I stumbled upon:

Language bullying — or prescriptivism, as it’s more politely called — is conservative in the worst sense. It advances a stuffy and old-fashioned view of language, the rules of which it considers set by supposed experts, such as the authors of grammar books, rather than common usage. It is deeply anti-populist and snobby, not to mention just plain wrong and cranky.

There is nothing wrong with high standards, but please don't hold me to them! Thank you.
