Oh, and it looks like you skipped the word ON in that one sentence.

What a miserable thing to say. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Grammar could be thought of as manners, right? I’d say, as manners go, a few honest punctuation mistakes bother me a lot less than your blatant, disgusting arrogance. And how cowardly… to dump on someone’s blog comments. Only a miserable person would go out of their way to talk like that.

This concept is way more intriguing to me than eating in the dark

Suzanne, as someone who owns a business whose primary service is proofreading and ghostwriting blogs, I can’t tell you the number of bloggers who just flat out don’t even have TIME to check the more mundane mechanics of language. (That’s why they hire me – if there were no misplaced apostrophes in the world of blogging, I’d be out of a job!) I don’t think I’d ever use the word “illiterate” to describe FoodMayhem, though – they convey way too well the sensory experiences of cooking and eating! Even a grammar nazi like me gets a lot of joy out of reading the posts every day.

And Jessica – I can’t work for free, but you’d be welcome to shoot me a line at editor@qualityfreelance.net for a quote. I’m sure we could work something out.

Hi Suzanne, I appreciate your criticism and I would LOVE an editor.
I’m not trying to excuse it, but Lon is busy with a demanding job and I just stink at spelling and grammar. Unfortunately, I don’t think anyone wants to work for free and be available whenever we need them to edit two posts per day.

I’m glad you’re willing to read our blog despite the errors, and hopefully one day, we’ll have an editor.

Wow….this article is so well written! I was so happy to think that you’d gotten better at writing and then I realized that someone else wrote it! I’ve just about given up reading anything on your blog that isn’t filled with misspellings and bad grammar. Jessica and Lon….you have an interesting concept and I like to read about the things you cook and the restaurants you visit. But, please….if you’re writing a blog that is for the public then you need to consider yourselves writers. And, as writers, you should learn how to use the English language! Some of your posts are positively illiterate….like the recent post about how your “mom’s” (sic) both like fresh produce. This happens on your blog more often than not. If neither of you knows how to write, spell or punctuate then please get a friend to proofread your posts for you. There are readers out there who care. I’m not alone, I assure you.
