I'm going to keep this blog short. This morning I was browsing through some posts on Circle of Moms on Facebook, and I have to say I was absolutely APPALLED at the spelling and grammatical errors!
Look, ladies, I know we're just asking other mothers questions about kids and parenting, but at least look your question over before you post. PLEASE!
I know giving birth is no laughing matter, and we've all done it and lived to tell the tale. But does that mean our intelligence just flew out of the window the minute we heard that kid squall??
No, it doesn't.
And another thing is the blasphemous use (or lack of use) of punctuation. I mean really, it's there for a reason. If you're going to take the time to post something for the entire world to see (potentially), please look over what you've typed to see if it even made sense and that WHOLE WORDS haven't been omitted.
Sorry, it's a pet peeve of mine, and I kid you not, but of the 5 or 6 posts I read, only 1 post was not grossly misspelled. If you have any doubts, hit Spell Check. That's what it's there for.
It's a shame we can't do better when it comes to showing off our intelligence because we ARE intelligent. Let's not fall back on text speak like we do with cell phones, ok? That's for the kids.
Really. :-\
Amen!!
