Blog Styles ,
Dis hère is "shoot from the hip" , trench warfare , no editing , slap around writing , impulsive , spontaneous , type of communication , if we didn't have automated spell check we'd see tons of spelling errors too . We're not publishing with reworks going 5 generations , spread-out over as many days , we're sitting at the bar with our buds , shooting the **** , Grammatical error don't mean as much as getting your points accross . Besides most are hiding behind Aliases , noooooobody actually knows who anybody else is . It's great fun being able to murder the King's English with some flippant phrase , it's almost an Art Form as we see in the TV Series "the Wire" where Street language comprised at least 50% of spoken Dialect , the Newpaper Series was the only place where the technical English accuracy was in use . Blogging is reinventing Communication , abbreviations are rampant , excluding the un-informed "mail-readers" who listen ( read ) , IMO ! , geez wat an expression but you see it all day long in these here blogs . I say : let em be , they're communicating , kinda a first in this Hobby .
And for politeness , welllll , I wouldn't be able to own one of your Asgard 2s if you brandished your Company name across the front . My wife is a Minister who has visiting Ministers stopping by all the time , rude names just wouldn't do in my household were proper is Enforced , I tell em that it's an Asgard 2 , I don't tell em it's a Schiit , they wouldn't understand and would probably outcast me . No Sir Eee , here in Headphone land I'm a fat old guy sitting on a Blaaaaah Harley , flipping the finger at Polite Society , wearing my Black leathers , Skulls , Bones , trash talken , beer swilling ( I actually stopped drinking two decades ago ) , haven a good ol time , punctuation errors ? plezzze .
Steve King's book on Writing shows how writing is telepathy , an idea in my mind is converted to letters which another soul re-converts into the idea that I'm thinking , so : writing is transmitting complete thoughts . Certainly there are some rules but who wants to be the Bartender that edits everything every one says before it's allowed to be said ?
The matter of spacing has to do with the tiny , crowded , smart phone screen . Tight bunching makes things difficult , 13 inch lap-top screens make things difficult too , eyesight limitations and trying to proof read ( getting rid of all the ly words before submit ) all are easier with generous spacing . I don't think we have the luxury of multiple re-writing , nor the inclination for that matter , were trying to shoot out a response .
Still , there is a new Syndrome out there : Punctuation Neurosis ! which is charactorised by the need to focus on literary accuracy over the need to communicate , it's a bit stifling for the masses who continue to use evolved lexicons instead of University English Department rules .
And Germanic thing : Capitolizing Nouns in the middle of a Sentence , hmm . This coming from an Old German Norse outfit where the Company name is all about Potty Humor , I can't take this as being anything but a silliness , pleeeeeze . Capitolizing Nouns is for emphasis , that's all it is and it's effective , it does get attention and emphasis .
We ain't none of Us writing the Magna-Carta here , we're mostly Archie Bunker fun lovers , we love your Schiit , nuff said , grate stuff , for cristsake !!!
Now , that was fun , wasn't it ?
