Anonymous Comments

Today, I received an anonymous comment that made no sense to me. Additionally, I was directed to a website and the post for today on the website was poorly written and also made no sense to me. 

So, I will not be posting that comment.  Sorry reader. Please continue to read. Please post a comment that makes sense, or if not, then be brave enough to identify yourself. Please send me to sites that make sense and have some meaning.

I will say, however, that my blogs are not always well written.  I try to proofread them and spell check before I post. But if it is something that I have just written, and then am ready to post, I am so aware of what I want to write, that as I proofread it, I do so reading what I want to write rather than what I have actually written. 

So, I frequently will re-read the post the next day, to help with cleaning up my mistakes. I learned to read on hard copy. I have discovered that when I proofread on a computer screen, I am not an accurate proofreader, and printing a hard copy helps me to do a better job of proofreading. I have also discovered that, many if not most, of my contemporaries have the same experience. I know it is a learned response based on how we learned to read, and that younger generations who learn to read on the computer, will not understand this problem nor have to deal with it.
