Good grammar and orthography is important because it facilitates communication and understanding. Poor grammar/orthography often leads to misunderstandings and even lawsuits. <br />A friend recently posted a comment on facebook and I wasn't really sure if he meant "accept" or "except" since each could have been correct depending on the intent of his comment. As a result, I still don't know what he meant.

So much jargon and lack of proper punctuation has created a generation of people who write like illiterates. All you have to do is go to any comment section on a news article and try to decipher what people are trying to say with their mashed together words and lack of apostrophes (not to mention there aren't many periods to be found). It's a little sad, and I hope your book is selling like hotcakes because they realize the folly of their grammar ways.<br /><br />Anyway, there's my two cents and I wouldn't mind a copy if you're giving one away : )!Mary Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09429769115085903305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330190226764495766.post-14758672231755353352012-08-16T07:47:21.976-07:002012-08-16T07:47:21.976-07:00In the age of texting speak (r u gnna b ther l8r?)...In the age of texting speak (r u gnna b ther l8r?) this is absolutely needed.
