Blog Response to Peer Keith Jarvis



 
            Oh my gosh how I loved this blog! I couldn’t agree more with the title, “Just one drink to numb the pain” because it seems to fit right in with how I feel every time I sit down at the computer to write. It seems like the words flow a lot easier after the first one (drink). I agree with Vanessa and you too about the commas. There is no end to all of the rules for the English language. I laughed the entire time I was reading this blog because it really hit home on so many things: Microsoft highlighting, Microsoft spelling tool, etc. Yes, spelling should be easier because of these tools, but really? How many times do you need to go back and correct no capital on the beginning word of a sentence of a new page, or correct the unusual name of an author of a book?
I feel your pain Keith because it is my pain too!  No matter how much time I spend writing, it feels like I could keep correcting myself forever. I think I try very hard to get a good product by the time I am ready to turn my paper in, but I always doubt myself and almost break a sweat before I can hit the submit button on the drop box. Writing is not easy for me, but at least I know there are those of you out there that may just have the same problem. Hopefully we can keep our sense of humour (oh, there’s that red squiggly line) humor (that doesn’t look right), and keep on trying until we get it right! This was very entertaining reading Keith!
