Blogs and Mistakes

I have become more concerned about grammar amd spelling mistakes on my blog, two areas that I once was meticulous about in writing. Since most of my family members are non-technical and don't read blogs or use email as frequently as tech people, they have a tendency to focus on any mistakes.

Well, I just noticed a blogger, Andy John, who links to my site. He studied writing at college. In his blog, he asks a question and gives this response.

For a guy with a degree in writing you sure do make a lot of gramatical/spelling errors?
Yo momma. Blogs are free thought, not disertations. If I'm lucky I run this through spell check before posting.... Anyway, I have a degree that says I can use creative license. Let's see yours. ;)

Since trained writers make mistakes, too, maybe I shouldn't be too nervous about the writing in my blog.

I make some many typos in my blog entries that Craig Andera (staff.develop.com/candera/weblog2/) has appointed himself my official blog copy editor. On nearly every one of my blog posts, I'll get an email from Craig with a list of typos, which I then have to go fix before more of the public finds out how much trouble I have with my writing. : )
