Reading Comprehension and Blogs.
Some of you need to work on your reading skills. I won't point out who, even though you probably don't know that you need to work on your reading skills. Yet, I have an excellent idea for all of those who hang out in the blog section of GSB. Now, my idea is a bit "out there", its kind of new and all, but I want to see how it works. Want to hear my idea? It's called
Understand what people are trying to say.
Doesn't that sound like a good idea? I mean, I know its a bit complicated but why don't you try and bear with me. Here's how it works: When you read a blog, you try and figure out the purpose of the blog, the point of the blog, and any statements the author of the blog is trying to make before you comment and make yourself sound like an ass idiot.
Sometimes, people ask for advice in blogs and sometimes they don't. As a reader, it is your job to distinguish between the two. Sometimes, the author of a blog might present the opposing argument to better explain his/her own. As the reader, it is your job to understand that. When you fail to do so, you have failed as a reader. Do you understand? You have failed!
Reading blogs is fun. Writing blogs is fun. Both slowly start to aggravate me when other readers and those who comment my blogs do not understand what I'm trying to say. Rather, sometimes, people misunderstand completely. They mistake me to be saying the exact opposite of what I'm saying.
Am I that awful a writer? Am I that confusing? Seriously people! Before you comment, before you say anything, why don't you learn the same lesson I did? Understand before you comment. Think before you respond. And if you're smart enough to realize this might be targeted at you, thank me. I'm saving you.

Well, you can't get mad at the reader for not understanding. Maybe its you. Maybe its your writing. I am sure that no one is trying to sound like an idiot and not understand a blog, so its really not the reader at all. Its the writer and you should write a blog about the writers of the blog making sense.
