Subject: Re: The Next Version Number?
My comment was not intended as a put-down. I made the comment as a
constructive comment. There was no insult intended.
Whether or not an e-mail message is written in conversational language, a
well constructed written message that uses good grammar, is always going to
be better received and better understood, that a message that is poorly
constructed and uses bad grammar.
Whether we like it or not, society makes judgements about us as people based
upon the way a person speaks, the way a person writes, the way a person
dresses and the way a person behaves.
Unfortunately, there are too many people today who do not care how they
speak, how they write, how they dress and how they behave.
I joined this list to pick up hints, tricks an solutions to problems that we
all have with our computers, Windows and JAWS. I am beginning to reconsider
whether I should remain a member of the list.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber
