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?

OH NOES IT'S TEH AZURE GUANO COMING OUT TO FIGHT FOR TEH LITTLE PEOPLE.

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

Dude, not a single one of BlACKROSE's posts read like they were written by a high school graduate. I think pointing that out IS an intelligent response. If she wants to be taken seriously, she'll construct her sentences in a way that doesn't scream 13 year old who just discovered Myspace WOOOO!

I thank you for explaining to me the need to be more careful with grammar. I took some of my spare time to see if you were always perfect with grammar and spelling. I noticed some very small mistakes, none really worth highligthing. Actually I felt stupid taking up my time reading thru your post just to find some mistake, so I stopped. I did though continue to read them and found that you give out some important information like the dangers of possession of illegal drugs. I also see that you can be helpful but very disrepectful, so I decided I don't need that type of help. (Thank You)
I would also like to thank Alpha Frog, I read your response and you are correct that I need to present my grammar skills more appropriately. I would like to point out that in one of my responses I was purposely using (as if, and like) in between all my statements to show that there is no white language or black language. That their is only broken english or correct english... I am sorry I forgot to capitalize the word English.
I would like to correct you on your statement about my website. My sorority's site is very professional and grammar correct. With all that aside I would like to thank blueangel for expressing what, I think so well. I also wonder how so many people who have watched their organization be ridiculed for lack of national backing or not having a house or for what ever reason someone felt they were better than you, be so quick to shoot down some one else for trying something new?
