THE SOUND OF A CHIMP.


THE SOUND OF THE CHIMP


Why not just write in vernacular if English is your weakest point? I suppose there are two sides to the coin. My Pastor always says write it or speak it as you feel it; who cares as long as your audience makes sense of it, but again, carelessness in words expressed portrays ignorance.
Summarily, I take a cue from Johnny Truants comment, "Writing can be really no-win. It’s not fair, but it’s true.
If you obsess over every grammatical and structural point, you can come across as stiff. But if you’re lax and make a bunch of simple errors, you’ll come across as stupid.
You make one mistake and a lot of people will let it go. Two and you’re making them suspicious. Keep that up, with your intelligence taking hits at each turn, and your reader will decide that you’re actually a chimpanzee — and not one of the smart ones, either".

Rather, it’s amazing what people put out here on social media, sometimes, i am literally scratching my head and asking myself, who did this to this one? Well, i guess its ones call, but i am sure no one wants to sound like a chimp.
