You see, the problem isn't that you don't proof your grammar/spelling and/or punctuation. I am now saying this as a mom (I do that a lot I guess): The problem is that you aren't reading for content and how you come across. Truly, if you are in a recruitment party and your mind isn't in gear with your mouth you will say or do something unfortunate. And since I went through, as did my daughters, a VERY competitive recruitment system, thinking before writing or speaking is imperative.
My older daughter's recruitment came to a grinding halt (last party before Pref and she had to miss the first round because of class) when the Active who was rushing her started complaining about how much she HATED dating and parties. My daughter went into mental overdrive as to what she meant. She had her first thought and then said, "Oh, I know how hard it is to meet nice guys. My boyfriend has lots of good friends that I could introduce you to..." The girl then said, "No, I HATE dating and boys!:
Without a filter someone might say, "Are you gay?" (or something like an epithet). My daughter "knew" what the girl meant when Active began to fall apart. Daughter knew her recruitment was over, but she said, "I understand that relationships are difficult." Period, end. Get it? A filter and an edit button are importent companions.
SWTXBelle: Thank you.
