Re: It's-funster, represent!

See? That surprises me. I have no problems following your stories at all and you seem to have a solid grasp of grammar and spelling.

Either way, I still look at it as all good.

But, in your case, the point is I understand you. I don't need my soopah sekrit decoder wring of bad writing to get it.

I admit that I'm a little anal retentative (a little? try a lot.) when it comes to writing, but a lot of that has to do with getting paid for it since I was 17. When you get paid for it, a whoooooole different set of standards come into play (as it should). That naturally infects the stuff you do "for fun."

I admit that I've experienced the disconnect in RL. People would show me stuff they've written and ask for an "honest opinion" (what they wanted was for me to tell them they were great). It got to the point where I'd have to warn people off by waving a red pen under their noses while explaining that the last thing they needed was an anal-retentive nut job looking at their work.

That usually did the trick. :-)
