For Purposes of Clarification…
It appears I have another reader, at least a one-time reader, in my buddy Michael. He commented on my grammar in one of the posts. My grammar. “It looks pretty neat. I wish I had a website I update often,” followed by “[a quote from An Itch to Scratch] – is that a correct sentence?” Is my sentence structure here of the utmost importance? Especially given all the stuff I have written about him? I proofread my entries here about twice before posting, not nearly enough to catch everything, but really it’s to check for huge guffaws and incoherence. Maybe he just wanted to point out that he was carefully reading… Maybe. It’s just desserts, though, because I gave him hell for having music running in the background of his page.
For purposes of clarification: grammar is of secondary or tertiary concern here; it’s my ideas I wish to write and express freely here. How often can I talk to any of my “friends” like this? Would any of my “friends” sit still long without writhing in agony if I went into a monologue on my feelings about race, manners, etc? Hell, no. I get scoffs and interruptions at much less, I assure you. So keep your fucking criticisms to yourself. There is no such thing as constructive criticism.
