Tbh I imagine ...Thanks Paul. I feel a bit bad now.<br /><br />Tbh I imagine this has been done by a secretary and sent on his behalf.<br /><br />I wouldn't mind talking to you about an idea I had for a comic book at some point.Jongudmundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13355906920547912762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32475202.post-85777042677440437602010-05-28T04:52:38.059+01:002010-05-28T04:52:38.059+01:00Blimey, Paul Catris is in charge there, now, eh?
T...Blimey, Paul Catris is in charge there, now, eh?<br />That being the case- Ima defend him to the hilt in more than just the interest of balance.<br />I'd say the courtesy to write with thanks (when so few would) is so much more important than a bit of grammer (admittedly, it's one of the very same areas of grammer I find the rules for a touch too inconclusive to commit to; but I didn't say I'd be unbiased) that it seems to negate the isolated absence of proofreading. In extra defense, 'Word' commonly suggests you withdraw a correct apostrophe and add an erroneous one, causing even such a beautiful writer as myself- in every reading, obviously- to doubt that which I thought I knew before a universally renowned, automated invigilator starts upon assessing my on screen thoughts.<br />But, more significantly:<br />that same fella is at least 50% of why I draw today and why I draw in the storytelling format that I do, too.<br />(I can honestly only think of, maybe, one other teacher that's ever influenced me quite as positively as him- and I've had 'extra curricular' experience of teachers in more recent memory, too- 'boom-boom'! Seriously- who knew teachers were, like, real people? Aaaanyway...)<br />I've genuinely had a pretty decent hand from schooling, going by the relative accounts of others; but that guy was a prince among men and no mistake. I'd take a creative, genuine, passionate dude in his line of work for the best reasons, with a degree of care and responsibility that'll inspire useful members of society over anybody else in a position of power (who may know where to shove his aostrophe) that I've yet met.<br />That's the defense.<br />(Make no mistake- this ain't an attack by any means, which is precisely why I left the low brow, Basil Brush-esque sleaze in: to, hopefully, keep the mood bouyant. 'Tis the danger of online publishing, though: One minute you think you're light-heartedly writing a whimsical slight on somebody into something of a void and that that piece'll never come back to bite you; the next, you've appeared akin to a sour media empire that's misjudged an attack on a busy, one-eyed man with poor spelling that simply wanted to write a compassionate letter of condolence to the grieving. The cue: everything will always come back to you. sooner or later.)<br />Congratulations, though, on prompting the first (and hopefully only) reply I've ever posted online in any forum outside of social networks. (And* I've read a lot of infuriating 'geek' boards in recent memory- even discussing me!) Kudos ;)<br /><br />PS<br /><br />*Intentional 'and'.PAUL SWAINhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09763236576343267160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32475202.post-28293402927515243242010-04-26T09:31:47.776+01:002010-04-26T09:31:47.776+01:00Like!Like!Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516464543928820748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32475202.post-6369915061790930792010-04-25T22:46:50.476+01:002010-04-25T22:46:50.476+01:00Makes you want to weep!!!

At least he could get someone to check a public notice, or was it done by the secretary and not read properly before being signed and sent? <br />MumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32475202.post-19961480379701629552010-04-23T10:11:25.455+01:002010-04-23T10:11:25.455+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.clare isabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578930627590999806noreply@blogger.com
