You are always ready with "excuses", but here the word "lazy" should be understood as "careless". Some dyslexie patients are very careful when writing, their main problem is speech (see Mr.G.W.B. !). But Walter & myself, we pointed to the wide spread carelessness within the community of young players, internet users etc.
I suffer very much when I have to sit in the audition committee to listen to many careless (lazy) players, who neglegt the style & even the text here & there having difficulties to concentrate themselves to one single task for longer than two minutes. They tune just a single note to the piano, but forget to adjust the other slides. They do not even realize that a repeated phrase in a classical work must be executed the same way except you go to express something different. But one must understand that. They start well, but lose due to their negligence (=lazy, careless, etc.) Is it so difficult, to write a few sentences in good grammar & without spelling mistakes - if you write in your mother language (or better to use "parent language" within the new sense of equality) ???? Even for legastenic or dyslexic patients ????? I think it is not difficult. Please, Christine, do not come blaming schooling systems & parents for that. It is up to the individual. ============================================================ ================================================== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christine Ranson Sent: Monday, May 15, 2006 9:04 AM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: RE: [Hornlist] horn advice I have a strong dislike for bad spelling, punctuation etc. myself. But what you do not know is whether the person is in fact being 'lazy' as you said, or whether they truly have problems (sorry, I do not mean to offend, but I have many dyslexic friends). How incredibly wrong of you to presume that they are being 'lazy' on a public forum! Then again, yes, they may well be 'lazy'. >From: "Walter E.
