[QUOTE="RogueJK, post: 92061, member: 170"] I'm not trying to be mean or harsh, but most people, especially intellectuals such as writers and newspaper editors, tend to take letters more seriously when proper spelling and grammar are used. I understand that many people aren't that great at these things, so you might consider (for next time) letting someone proofread your emails before submitting them. I find that if you type your message into a word processor which has the ability to check spelling, such as Microsoft Word, you can catch most of the major errors beforehand. Then, it's just a matter of copying and pasting your text into an email. It's easy for people to dismiss somebody else's comments when improper grammar is used and words are misspelled. Also, it's proper form to sign your "serious" emails, such as letters to the editor of a newspaper, with your real name, as opposed to your online nickname. That said, I'm glad that you feel strongly enough about this to write the editor, and I applaud your willingness to speak out. The world needs more people who aren't afraid to speak their mind. I've found that the gaming community is more willing to voice their opinions than most other groups out there, which is a credit to us. Keep up the good work, guys! [/QUOTE]
