Sometimes when I read news stories, I scroll down to view some of the comments. Geez Louise.. When my own piece ran in the KC Star, some of the comments were eye-opening. I guess when you’re anonymous and sitting in your underpants at the computer all day, you can be an idiot, but here’s some advice. Tip #1…..read the entire piece, and not just the title. Tip #2……..if you can’t write past the 4th grade level, then maybe you shouldn’t.
I give you this example from a news story on Huffington Post………
“This is truelly awful and embarressing. “
Truelly awful and embarressing???? No doubt, Einstein, no doubt.
