Yar, I've got an itch to.....

[KaShash]

It's not necessarily based on complaining, but there is a sub-forum for that. It's mostly to find people who understand that a giant mass of text does NOT mean you are literate. It's gotten to the point where I'd rather find people who agree to that and make a nice little guild for us to stick together. 3nodding I've got my vocab; I've got my grammar (usually); I've got my sentence structure; I admit my spelling isn't always the greatest (but I usually can find the right spelling out of the list the spell check gives me).

Literate should never be about length, ever! Only how long it takes to get the point across correctly. Nothing more. If you can say something in five well chosen words, then do so! But I needn't have a 'quota' to fill. If it seems a bit short, for the situation, I might consider revising. But if it fits the bill, no matter the length, then that's all that matters.

Anyway, those that wished to join, I'll send some invites until I get that link working again.... stressed

That's weird. I've got a Bachelor's in Mass Communications, which is pretty much useless in and of itself, unless you're good at networking, which I'm not.

But I've never been told I wasn't "literate" enough for a job. What does that mean? Does it mean you make typos?

Or, wait, are you talking about one of those damn snooty guilds or online games where everyone considers themselves a writer and you have to pass some sort of test to join, like submitting a sample of your work?

Screw that! I'm only mildly irritated by 133t!
