Posts Tagged ‘Poor Grammar in Blog Comments’

By Barbara Lee Sherf

First of all, let me set the record straight, I am not dude. So many blog comments come over saying “hey dude, great blog ya got there…blah, blah, blah.” Even though the content of the comment may be complimentary, I refuse to post these comments. I am not a dude.

Second point. About half of the comments I receive I refuse to post because of poor grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.

Below are three samples I recently received and refused to post.. I did not, nor could I ever make these up:

1) You got a indeed useful blog I compel ought to been here reading in behalf of about an hour. I am a newbie and your success is very much an insight in behalf of me.

2) I was looking instead of pivotal information on this subject. The advice was important as I am nigh to launch my own portal. Thanks conducive to providing a missing associate in my business.

3) great experience, dude! thanks for this great post wow… it’s very wonderful report.

I guess you can call me a blog comment snob, but I believe that approving these kinds of comments reflects poorly on me. A few have slipped through early on, and I am now going back to take a second look and delete with a more critical eye.

So if you would like to comment on my blog and see it posted, please use spell and grammar check, proper capitalization and punctuation.

Thank you.
