I'm not saying goodbye. I hope you'll improve your proofreading -- it's not fun, but it increases quality and clarity, in any language. Contrary to what other posters seem to be saying, misspellings and other writing flaws are not the mark of authenticity in blogging.DAVE NEWTONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14266605793504741624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-1153172485927254002006-07-17T14:41:00.000-07:002006-07-17T14:41:00.000-07:00MahaloMahaloAlex Chituhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618542750965508582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-1153171705812863232006-07-17T14:28:00.000-07:002006-07-17T14:28:00.000-07:00Welcome back.. alohaWelcome back.. <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloha" REL="nofollow">aloha</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-1153155167830520732006-07-17T09:52:00.000-07:002006-07-17T09:52:00.000-07:00Goodbyeas inAu revoirA bientôtA piu tardiHasta pro...Goodbye<BR/>as in<BR/>Au revoir<BR/>A bientôt<BR/>A piu tardi<BR/>Hasta pronto<BR/>A revider nos<BR/>[ meaning "see you soon" ]Alex Chituhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618542750965508582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-1153152004655351302006-07-17T09:00:00.000-07:002006-07-17T09:00:00.000-07:00I actually find Ionut's spelling/grammer a hell of...I actually find Ionut's spelling/grammer a hell of lot better than most English speakers.<BR/><BR/>Dave, if you think you can write a better blog, do it.<BR/><BR/>However, Ionut, the goodbye post was a bit out of the ordinary in a cryptic sort of way.

The post "So ...Thank you for your great tips, Dave. The post "So this is goodbye" wasn't a farewell, or a trick. It actually had a meaning. At least for me. It was a little sign I had to encrypt here.<BR/><BR/>You should know that English is not my native language. I try to avoid spelling errors and grammar mistakes, and I don't mind if someone corrects me.<BR/><BR/>I rarely proofread my posts as this is very difficult for me: I don't like to read what I write.<BR/><BR/>Your suggestions are valuable and I understand you are upset.Alex Chituhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618542750965508582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-1153075351957874482006-07-16T11:42:00.000-07:002006-07-16T11:42:00.000-07:00Well, happy birthday, I guess.

I wonder how many readers you flushed away with this "funny" stunt. Otherwise, I think you're probably a smart person. <BR/><BR/>I'll get over it, but I don't know that I'll trust your info in the future without following links myself. <BR/><BR/>Two pieces of advice:<BR/><BR/>1. Don't play stupid tricks on your readers. Respect us.<BR/><BR/>2. Respect our intelligence and display yours: learn to spell, or to proofread. (This is a word that means: look over your posts and correct your spelling and grammar errors before posting them. And, remember, it's never too late, on a blog, to correct mistakes and republish.) When you misspell words and garble sentences, you don't communicate. Your information is valuable, and appreciated, but your blog could be better.DAVE NEWTONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14266605793504741624noreply@blogger.com
