a couple of additional random thoughts for this post:
- If you empathize with another person, or if you regret your action.... you feel badly for them, or you feel badly about what you did.
Porcupines and cacti feel bad!
- and... while it is certainly not the "high road", I have to confess that I do judge someone based on their grammar and usage, especially re: the written word. It is definitely a subconscious thing - I would never be rude or negative or cold to someone whose language I found lacking based on my own personal standard... but I do subconsciously assume that they have less education or less intelligence.
This might be wrong... and as I said, it isn't a conscious decision... but I believe that we all choose how we represent ourselves, and that one doesn't have to be Emily Post or Albert Einstein to speak or write in an effective way.
