Comment on IT’S NOT RIGHT….IT JUST NOT RIGHT, BIDEN’S UNEXPLAINABLE DISLIKE OF CONNOLLY IS WRONG by Susan Regis Collins

GF
I beg to differ w/you on Connolly…..have you forgotten his strong defense of (un)Patriot Act and his support of rights violating assaults on Americans by Bu$hco?
Fuck him and his Bu$hco bullshit….I do not want the likes of him to sit on any bench in the USA. Right on Joe…keep on keeping up.

Your response (for those not privileged with the email):

You are absolutely correct, BUT, like most writers dedicated-to-causes and issues, rather than being a prisoner of form and style, I don’t give a rat’s ass about spelling a grammatical correctness—Sorry.

Remember Bill Frank, who wrote for the News Journal?….He was reading one of my published articles in TV, Guide….( 800 words for which they paid me $2,000)—($1,000 for the U.S. TV Guide, and another $1,000 when they sold it to the Canadian TV Guide).
Here is what he said and wrote about my articles,
“It’s strange, I realize that, but one of the things I like best about Fulcher’s writing, is his charming irreverence for the english language”.

What can I tell ya—-I prefer to keep getting three out of every five articles I write getting published in national magazines, and getting paid for it, than I care about how it looks—-if editors want to make those corrections for me, that’s fine. I prefer substance over image….my substance is solid, even though my image sucks. I’m writing a book…..can I hire you to be my spelling and grammar checker?

So it is good to you that someone you apparently respect to some degree acknowledged your LACK of mastery of the language over your content? Sad. Some of us prefer substance, content, AND correctness. It shows intelligence and respect for the art of writing to master the medium in which we work.

In short… so many words to veil an excuse for poor skills. Merely getting published is no longer a valid measure of worth. The quality of publicly available written content is clearly on the decline, thanks in a large part to “writers” like you who fail to master their skills. Unfortunately, the “style” you employ fosters ignorance of the language and permits those without skills to obtain some degree of mediocrity. The higher road would be to master the skills of a true writer, then selectively employ varied styles for emphasis. You make good points, and I agree with many, it is just a shame to see how you present those points when I KNOW that using proper skills would make your arguments that much more powerful and likely respected by a wider audience.

Please learn to spell, or at least learn to use spell checkers. Your argument is dismantled by poor grammar and spelling. It shows either a basic lack of knowledge, no respect for the forum you’ve just posted in, or at the very least, the maker of a hasty post (if I give you the benefit of the doubt on the spelling). The few extra seconds it takes to check your own rant makes you look (somewhat) more intelligent… always a good thing when you’re trying to make a point.
