Thanks for the nudge.

Ok, Jenn. You win. Excellence over manners/etiquette. I get it! John, you do an awesome job, your articles teach me (and no doubt many others) a ton, and personally, I could give a toss about the odd spelling/grammar/formatting error. But hey, that’s just me! *drops mic*

I’m am definitely not qualified to be grammar police by any means. The post you read now has been edited after I first read it. There were a lot of sentences that you could tell the backspace didn’t make it all the way and typing continued. I can understand one or maybe two, but there were so many it was very difficult to get through.

The meat of the piece is very good and I found valuable, but with my learning disabilities alone I have a difficult time comprehending and the run on and mistyped sentences made it very tough.

One simple pass before posting would have made it that much easier.

You should try my Blog. I spend days writing something and proofread yet still am notorious for run on sentences and fragments. I’m happy with it as long as someone gets it enough to get value.

John also claims to be a speaker. I deal with speakers all the time planning my various conferences and expect some level of professionalism from their blogs.

Seriously… a quick pass of reading his own work just one time before he posted would have caught a lot of it. (and it did)

It’s not that difficult.

Ahhh the grammar police are in town. The odd grammar or spelling error rarely detracts from the wisdom or quality of an article. I’m always shocked when someone chooses to call someone out over a tiny error in a sea of quality, rather than send a private email. Feel free to come over to my blog, you’ll find a ton of errors there, and I could always do with some help in the ‘proof reading’ department 😀

To make it better and easier, I suggest combining #1 & #5 to say “No, (but) thanks!”
