Hi BD once again, Tom says what many must be thinking :-) Nonetheless, he's as guilty as most contributors for making BD emails quite painful sometimes (eg 'fewer' not 'less' in point 2 for a start!).
Grammar, good spelling and punctuation might be old hat to most of you fresh young things, but if you get them right, any message (and there are plenty of good ones) can be worthwhile reading. Get them wrong and the sense of the message can easily become garbled and misunderstood. You're intelligent people, right? It doesn't take long to scan what you've written before you hit Send. Remember there are hundreds of BD readers out there, and you don't want to make a fool of yourself now, do you? My two penn'orth. Any mistakes or typos herein not my fault, obviously :-) See you on the field Wayne http://mt.htmlco.de/ Mother Tongue, Germany - the only team whose raison d'être is being native English speakers PS Adam Batchelor is... no I couldn't possibly From: tom white To: britdisc@near.me.uk Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2005 11:33:32 +0100 yo! It seems to me that the overall quality of BD discussions is going down. There are a few factors that are contributing to this decline. 1) less imformed people writing to BD 2) less personal comments, and insults directed at writers 3) less use of stars to indicate missing letters 4) I'm not writing enough (hence this email) Now can someone please write an email saying that adam batchelor is a c***? laters tom p.s. I would settle for any ex druid, red or sublime player being humiliated. __________________________________________________ BritDisc mailing list BritDisc@near.me.uk http://zion.ranulf.net/mailman/listinfo/britdisc Staying informed - http://www.ukultimate.com/informed.asp
