That is a shame that people who are often ridiculed find the need to ridicule others!

Well,to all of you who feel the need to criticize me for some minor or major misspelling or grammar issues on a chat line, excuse me but you all don't grade my papers so i really do not care. You may feel that I really proofread these comments as if they are being graded. Well no, I do not do that. I'm
usually only responding to an idea while I'm in the middle of doing some home work assignment. (THAT I MUST ADD I HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED MY ASSOSICATE DEGREE AND AM MAINTAINING A 3.1 GPA WHILE BEING A
MOTHER OF THREE VERY INTELLIGENTCHILDREN MY OLDEST WHO HAPPENS TO BE IN THRID GRADE SCORES AT A SIX GRADE READING LEVEL AND WE STARTED DOING HOOKED ON PHONICS AS A GAME WHEN HE WAS IN FIRST GRADE SO YES, HOOKED ON PHONICS WORKS FOR ME), but any way i will agree with some of the others on this post. That trying to start an organization from scratch is difficult most of our members have children three years of age and older, and the couple of sisters that do have very young children have chose not to hold a major position. I do not know what exactly you are missing but I did most of my research to start my sorority thru local greeks webpage. If you would like some help starting your own chapter for non traditional students,I would talk to your NTS office first. Here you may meet others who share with your desire. If you would like any info on Mu Omicron Mu, I would be pleased to send it to you.

Bloody murder.

If your CAPS LOCK is broken, you can borrow KABillyMac's chainsaw to fix it.

BlACKROSE,

It would be one thing if you did have a "few major and minor misspelling or grammar issues", but the fact is that there are so many, it makes your posts almost unreadable. This may be just a "chat line", but if you read a post or six, you'll see that the majority of posters take the time, AND ARE RESPECTFUL ENOUGH, to follow basic grammar and spelling rules. Now, I am a horrible speller myself, and you can tell which posts that I don't take the time to spellcheck (which now that GC has a spellchecker, aren't very many0 - but that's the point...I take the time to use the spellchecker...it's courteous to other posters.

Blackrose, here is another post from you in the "Events" area of Greekchat. Obviously you are advertising a philanthropy event sponsored by your chapter. That's a great idea! But since this post is for an event representing your sorority, why wouldn't you check the spelling, grammar, etc. so that you can present your sisters to the world as the educated mothers they are?

You're talking about being "respectful"??? Oh, the irony!

And regarding spelling errors... posters who point them out are attempting to feel better about themselves by belittling others. Alpha Frog, why don't you concentrate on trying to form an intelligent response to the poster, rather than trying pedantry?

Seriously, pedantry? Is that the word of the day? Were you attempting to use it in a sentance?
