[Audyssey] Moder says, close this topic (Re: blind people and punctuation)
I personally dont care whether someone uses punctuation or not however this is getting way off topic and so Id like to ask that this topic be closed because punctuation is not the focus of the list if you cant read someones message then its not worth reading. That being said, I'll rewrite this now using punctuation so my message will be worth reading. Please let's all stop the punctuation thread. If you choose to not read someone's message due to poor punctuation or lack there of, that is your choice. If a poster can't bother to correctly put punctuation in, they are risking that someone will skip their messages. Also, let's keep in mind that English is not everyone's first language on list here. So, if there is a poster who does not spell things correctly or use correct punctuation at all times, let's try to be a bit leaniant. English is not my first language, and I know I mess up on punctuation and spelling lots of times, but i do try. So, let's get back to gaming folks. many thanks.

Also the mods haven't complained about this, and they have the ultimate say. When people use incorrect spelling on a sighted forum guess what happens? they simply get banned, or people don't answer their questions. There isn't this huge discussion about their education or lack there of. There are bigger things to worry about in life than someone's spelling. - Original Message - From: Charles Rivard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, March 24, 2008 3:57 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] blind people and punctuation was Re: thanks a lot. Actually, people, whether blind or not, should care about how they are understood. Punctuation and, to a degree, spelling, are important tools used to accomplish this. If you don't punctuate, and your spelling and grammar are horrible, even though you may not be, you appear uneducated, ignorant, retarded, stupid, or just plain lazy. You give people a very bad impression of yourself. If you don't care about your impression, that sure says a lot about you, doesn't it? Especially since the cure is so darned simple. If needed, get a spell checker from the Internet, learn to use it, and do so. Nobody will know that you are a bad speller anymore, and you've just raised people's opinion of you by such a huge jump. People will pay a heck of a lot more attention to you if they can understand your messages. If nothing else, listen to your message before sending it out. If it goes on and on with no pauses, punctuate so that it makes sense. This only takes a minute or two, and the rewards are so well worth your time and effort! --- Laughter is the best medicine.

Gees what's with blind people having this serious obsession with punctuation? Yeah I try using correct punctuation, but I don't criticize those that don't. fact is people don't really care. all they'll do is use even worse punctuation just to annoy you. So please guys do us all a favor and drop it already ok? You're just generating unnecessary traffic.

Hi Ian, I would suggest you take a deep breath, calm down and learn to write with punctuation before you send your next message. It is quite possible that it will be readable after all. Thanks a lot.
