Wow, it’s been a while. When I began this blogging thing, I didn’t realize that it would turn into a lesson in grammar. As a “math guy” my interest and knowledge in grammar is….let’s just say I am not smarter than 5th grader when it comes to punctuation, adjectives and prepositions. I can, however, type a run-on sentence with the best of them, as you are witnessing right now with this fine piece of literature. My lovely wife, who is borderline OCD about proper spelling and punctuation, actually proofed my first couple of posts. What she didn’t realize is that after she finished I still went in and changed a couple of things. Sometimes it just sounds better even though it is incorrect. So moving forward my posts will no longer be proofed. I may sound illiterate, ignorant and uneducated, but I am from West Virginia.
Oh by the way, being from West Virginia, I am also an inbred bigoted sexist. At least that is according to the media and Vice President Dick Cheney. That is for another day.

This made me laugh. I could so relate! What a better way to become a better writer than by simply doing it.
I, like your OCD wife (she is well beyond borderline, by the way), walk a thin line when reading Jim's blog. I often find sentences that aren't, run-on sentences, incorrect spelling, etc. Do I point them out or not? Like I said, it's a thin line. In the end, I think that I have a touch of that OCD disease too.
