“Grammer is importent in real life but on a blog why bother? “
DY: Good spelling is also important. The word is “grammar” not “grammer”.
It is important to use accurate grammar, spelling and punctuation even on a blog. It improves the message that you are trying to express and makes it far more understandable for the reader. Also, if you don’t bother using proper English when blogging, it can carry over to your daily writing and one can become sloppy. If most of your writing is on blogs, it is even more important. If some of the posters here who make terrible errors in syntax were to send a letter of application to me, it would end up in the “circular file”. These people may have the best of qualifications, but many employers would not see beyond the misuse of the English language. It may not be important if you are applying to drive a bulldozer, but it is incredibly important if you want any type of office or business position. And when blogging, you should always take an extra second to check for spelling errors or typos, before pressing the “send” button.
