"The aim in writing is always to write in complete sentences which are correctly punctuated. Sentences always begin with a capital letter and end in either a full stop, exclamation or question mark. A complete sentence always contains a verb, expresses a complete idea and makes sense standing alone."
-----------------------------------------------

there are several universal words that are extremely dangerous. One of them is "always".



for many, aim just means getting on the board - not necessisarily* a 'bulls aye', but somewhere in the closer rings

*Necessarily

ever heard of e.e.cummings ?

But point is well takn. It is often a struggle to figure out what many people are trying to say. One of my vices has been 'tightness' in writing correct english. However, I am begginning to show progress in 'loosening up' and 'cutting some slack'. As long as the point is gotten over clearly, I am trying to 'not sweat the small stuff'.

But I still have to struggle to understand what the writer is saying in a number of posts on the FORD BARN.
