Greetings again FA,
LEO wants to talk about something he sees too much of. This would be what is commonly referred to as being a Grammar NAZI. I've seen how many furs treat people like scum of the world just because they can't spell. Some people wont even read what they have to say out of pure and utter arrogance. Weather you can or cannot spell this Journal is for you.


I don't blame people for being unable to spell perfectly, as I have trouble myself from time to time. I have good spoken grammar as to be expected. I pause when there is puntuation and, I use larger words when I speak. Take it from me grammar NAZIs when I say some people just cannot help it. Would you slap an spanish man because you don't like his accent? Its the same concept. Those of you who treat people like less because they have trouble spelling should be ashamed of yourself. Take a long look and put yourself in the shoes of those you hate so much. Take it from me when I say we often want to spell like those who are able to do it. Its not always because we are lazy sometimes when I type I have to spell the same word many times because I don't use the word a lot and I don't know the proper spelling. Why do I do this? Merely to please those who hate it. Though I must say. Its a given fact the more you bash us for not being the best spellers, the more we're going to do it just to piss you off.

You want people to be just like you, and that isn't fair. a person might have put a lot of thought or even feelings into something they write. Then you're going to bash them because the spelling isn't perfect. Gee, where I was from LEO was taught its the thought that counts. I've also been taught if you cannot say something nice don't say anything at all. We all forget how much of a blessing being able to write at all is. People many years ago not so far back as you might think was considered highly intellegent just to have even the most modest of a skill in reading and writting.

You might not beleive this but almost no one in the older time didn't know how to read and write, but look at the things they did. In fact if it wasn't for them, you wouldn't be here. Albert Einstein couldn't spell a lick but he made discoveries we still use even today. Alexander Grahm Bell couldn't either, irronic if it wasn't for him you'd not have internet and likely wouldn't be complaining about people's spelling errors in the first place.

The List of people actually goes on for miles. I'm not normally one to tell people how to think but I have to say STOP TREATING PEOPLE LIKE ANIMALS JUST BECAUSE THEY AREN'T GOOD AT SOMETHING YOU ARE GOOD AT. You don't see me treating you like shit cause you cannot draw do you? Which by the way in the past people wrote by Pictographs Picture based alphabets. In otherwords imagine yourself back in those times. If you sucked at drawing you couldn't read write or even spell neatly, how would you like it if someone made fun of you or treated you like you were stupid for it? There is no way you can mesure one's intellegents by how they write read or even speak. As I quote Qui gon jin from Star Wars cause I am a nerd. "The ability to speak does not make you intellegent" you certainly proove the point by underestimating people cause they cannot write as well as you. Also furries take into mind how complex the english language is. You can take two to four years of spanish and say you learned it. However you have to take tweleve years of English in school to even say you have a basic grasp of it.

I think I've well prooven my point I cannot make you see things my way. Though I would certainly hope that you think about what you say. Because what you say is far more important than how it is said.
