The passive voice should be avoided by you!

I find it highly ironic when someone points out someone else's misspellings or typos and makes their own errors in that same sentence.
"There indicates a place. Their indicates that something belongs to someone. They're is the compressed for of They are."
The guy was saying how he is fed up with people not paying enough attention to how they spell online.

The following claim was in response to a rather meaningful comment written by someone working at Global Eminence:
"You would be in the firing line in any place of advertising employment until you learn how to spell and back to second grade grammar...Heaven forbid you have any eminance in the globe."
It's not always as easy to show the dissonance between what people state and how they actually act. Truth is, everyone is a hypocrite at one point or another. I'm not the exception.
You take this inconsistency to a whole new venomous level when starting to judge others for not abiding by the standards you do not uphold yourself.

  2. Hi Hernando,
    I appreciate your kind words and feel really good that you were able to relate to what I was saying. Just like with you, English is not my native language, and it means a lot when someone complements on my writing. Good luck with your new blog. I'll make sure to check it out.
