I disagree (really? theres a surprise!). A CV is written for the purpose of the writer (or subject) to gain something from it - a job. But, when you add something to a forum (unless it's a question) what you write is for others benefit so it's those who don't try to understand (or deliberately misunderstand) who lose out... maybe. |

What an altruist I must be then, nearly 1000 posts for the benefit of others. If I reach 10,000, do I get a sainthood? It's not actually true though, is it? We generally post on boards because we like the discussion. In order to conduct an effective discussion, we need to be able to express ourselves clearly and succinctly. Communication in writing comes more easily to some than others, but failing to even make the effort to be as clear as possible is self-indulgent and selfish.

Yes, but the odd spelling mistak or wierd pice of grammer doen't stop understanding, so we don't need perfection. However, if translation is needed, then the point is lost. Personally, I like the forum to be wide ranging in its discussion, as it gives me a chance to see other points of view, and, just every now and again, change my mind. I notice Feva sailor has gone quiet on this one, which is a shame, as behind the slapstick, there are some interesting views. |

There are different techniques to writing a CV than to riting on a forum - init!! Any CV is a reflection of the person (not just who you want to portray), whilst a forum posting while ideally being concise and to the point and adding to the thread could be excused for the odd spilling mistake or error grammatical in There is no excuse 4 txt spk tho, or for continuous errors (grammatical or spelling) as this just show the poster to be an ignoramus of the highest order in my book. It takes very little effort to ensure the post is correct.
Time for BNS et al to search for apostrophes in the wrong place and non deliberate spelling mistakes |

Must have been a late night at the pub... Don't worry, it's happened to all of us; ask Dennis! (you asked for it, and probably planted it there on purpose, to keep me happy. Thank you xx) |
