In the essay, Good Grammar Gets the Girl, written by Elissa Englund Craig contacted Englund. In his profile, he seems to be a well educated, fun to be with, and that he was employed. As they begin to communicate, Englund has made her judgment to abandon Craig as a potential date because of errors in his grammar. For an example, he confused “weather” with “whether” and “are” with “our.”
Was Craig just too quick to hit the spell-check button before reading what he wrote? On the other hand, I think he was just being lazy or he just needs to brush up on his English grammar.
Long before the internet and on-line dating, there was a dating service you could belong too. This service was expensive, but at least you could view of their pictures. Once you had gone through countless hours of viewing photos and listening to a few words from possible dating candidates. Finally, your search is over, you both set up a date for dinner.
During your first date, you see that he is well-groomed, good hygiene and he shows that he is educated during your conversation with him. Furthermore, you will not know how he uses his grammar or spelling, until he writes you a handwritten note or letter.
In the meantime, for both the males and females who are responding to personal ads, sending email or you can save yourself a lot of trouble by writing your . Open up your Microsoft WORD program, and write about yourself, your expectations, and anything else that you would like the other person to know about yourself. Use your option for ‘spell check and grammar,” and fix your mistakes. If by chance you do not have a spell check program, go the old fashion way and open up a dictionary!
