Plus, they're not the brightest tools in the shed either, which is a communication nightmare. They do not get the "love" pass...at all.<br /><br />I don't mind being corrected about grammar and spelling (trust me, I use the dictionary!) as long as they aren't mean-spirited about it. I'm self-(see, I don't know how to spell that word), especially about grammar.<br /><br />If I ever ask any lazy knitting questions, let me know!

Yeah, maybe I'm uptight about spelling, and they can call me on it if they want, but to say they don't care is the part that blows my mind.<br /><br />Sometimes, "lazy" questions are a result of someone having NO practice at formulating a though, sometimes it's because they're ego-centric and think we should just KNOW what they mean, regardless, and sometimes in the case of loved ones it's because society perpetuates a myth that if you *really* love someone, you should know what they're feeling and thinking, and words shouldn't be necessary.<br /><br />And PS. your spelling is fine. :DDielahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05756275731069816054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1257228038838423702.post-11744020093961322612009-10-21T08:00:25.873-05:002009-10-21T08:00:25.873-05:00I think that many people don't care how they w...I think that many people don't care how they write much anymore. They feel they can express themselves without care of others, their feelings, saying things they wouldn't dare say if they were face-to-face. Blurting out on the keyboard, lame.<br /><br />Now, the lack of communication skills. Seriously there are people who ask questions like that because it's how they communicate in the real world. There are people who cannot formulate clear questions, or give understandable answers. Dealing with my MIL and husband has taught me this first hand. <br /><br />The art of communication is erroding and the modern technology has done nothing but exacerbate the situation. Plus, there are some less-than-intelligent people out there that might not think you can bake bread without a machine, or freeze celery without it exploding or something. People who don't know the "right" question to ask.<br /><br />Now whether you feel like directing someone with, "Can you be more detailed? Do you mean is it possible to bake good bread without a machine?" is one thing. After dealing, again, with my MIL, I just don't want to ask her anything ever.<br /><br />Spelling...OK, I can't spell so I have no comment. ;)iggystarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621837888792244714noreply@blogger.com
