There is more then one way to attract people to comment on your posts but one way I never thought of before was to try the bad grammar tactic. Yesterday I received a comment regarding the fact that my grammar was bad in my last post from someone calling them selves the Grammar Fairy. If your so good at grammar where is your site?
I am not sure if that was a spam comment or not simply because there is no link back to his site. Basically he said (and I assume it was a he because most women are not that rude) that he was turned off from such sites if they are not capable of using proper grammar. I will admit I am not the best for grammar but I could be very easily if I used Word or something like that. The problem I have run into in the past doing that is the words really shrink when they transfer over to wordpress which makes the posts very hard to read. So you might have to bear with me if you see some grammar errors once and a while. lol
What really bothered me about that comment is there are so many blogs from all around the world where not everyone reads or writes English properly. So what does this guy do then? Does he not read there blogs because they are not in his chosen language? Or what about reading a blog from someone who lives in England or Australia who might use different terms for speaking due to there culture. I bet your social marketing skills are very small too. If this is how you judge a site then please never read my posts again. There are so many great blogs I have read that are not in perfect English and I continue to read them to this day as I could not imagine my blogging life with out them. Heck, look at John Chow and his site, he makes over 25k a month and in his book he stats that grammar is not the most important. What do you make a month sir?
Is grammar the end all to be all when writing a post, do you even notice it?

ROTF LMFAO! The Grammar Fairy strikes again! I don’t think this is your fairy.. [yet I don't know] but I have heard or read of others that have had the same problem. Maybe we can get the Tooth Fairy to the Grammar Fairy’s Lair to pull a few teeth?!
I guess this Fairy is chicken not to leave a link back…. also Mr [or Ms.] Perfect?!
The English language today is full of misuse of ‘proper English’… we all know words are spelled different, new meanings to words are being used/made up etc…
Times are changing. People are changing. The English Grammer errrrrrrr Grammar is Changing.
And it AIN’T gonna change.
Loved this post! Keep up the great work!

PS WTF is a dangling participle?
ReplyYeah, you knocked me on the spot, Collin. Grammar isn’t always important in blogging. But somehow people tend to judge professionalism from grammars.
Reply@ Lunatic I have no idea what that means, in my terms maybe it is a “dago” and I am not going to say what that is. Maybe I should right a post they way we right text messages and really throw that Fairy for a loop.
@ Firewalker, I know eh I can not even say where your from!
ReplyHey Collin – you stick to your guns and be you – that is what blogging is all about – we are not back in school now (I hope).
All jokes aside. The one thing I like about reading blogs, and I read plenty each day, is that people can be themselves. the different writing styles are what makes the blogs unique – it is part of what makes them interesting. What’s more, even the dumbest highschool drop out can blog – you just need an interpreter occasionally.
Stick to your own style.

ReplyI agree Les, they way everyone speaks makes them stand out in the real world, they way we type on our blogs is the same way. God it would be so boring to read blogs that all got typed the same way.
ReplyHi Collin,
ReplyForget the reader with the rude grammar lesson. It’s not their place. Nobody forced this person to read your site. You are doing great with the websites you have and you need to focus on that. Folks will come here for information because that is what you dispense so well. Dave Barry, the humor columnist, did a bit every once in a while called “Ask Mr. Language Person,” and it was hilarious. This is worth looking up if you want to laugh back at the rude “comment guy.” Keep up the terrific work and readers will keep visiting here. -Mike.
Hey Mike thanks for coming by, and I will look that up later.
Thanks again
ReplyYou can write your post somewhere else and then copy it to MS word to have ‘em checked. and then replace the mistakes manually on your post editor, not copy-pasting from ms word.
that’s what i usually do to minimize grammar errors (still a lot tho
)

ReplyI never thought of that before, thats a good idea.
