Congrats!

But seriously Dude, and I don't know how to phrase this politely. I just came back from the pubs, and am right now having my nightcap with a bit of FithGear.

Well, let's point out the obvious, and please understand where this is comimg from, I only wish you well. But is your spelling and grammar really this poor? Or do you only reserve this for Oppo? And even if, why?

I really wish you all the best with this job, but please don't tell me that your application looked like your oppo posts. Please?

Kind regards,

Klaus

Kinja'd!!!

But why do you have to come off as this guy on Oppo? Are we not worthy of proper spelling? If you can't be bothered with using proper English, why do we have to be bothered with reading your garbage?

I have to agree with you Herr Schmoll (I believe you are German, but I could be wrong). To omit capitalization and spacing and proof reading is not a good thing anytime. I will admit that, from time to time, I do miss a thing or two. I generally proof everything I post. It is a how people judge you on the net. You need to be concise in your posts.

We don't complain, we just silently judge you. Harshly.

hehehe. It's funny, because I let it fall to something like this, then someone points it out and I fix it. Then, over time, it falls back to this. It is a vicious cycle, let me tell ya.

I, as much as anyone, take care to ensure not only that my grammar is correct, but also that my writing is very readable for the viewer, even to the point of ensuring that sentences are constructed as simply as possible, unless there is a thought that warrants the complexity, such as this sentence. That being said, your post title clearly indicated initial feedback from the employer, and one would expect the writer to be a bit excited. Who gives a frick if grammar police at 10pm are running patrols. (And these are like state trooper grammar police!) I think they could have cut you some slack.

Anyway, congratulations on the job hiring progression. I hope you get the gig, as it sounds like you would really like the work, and so would be very good at it. (One aspect in particular, once you get the job as an instructor, i believe you will be very patient and understanding, as you have been in this thread.) Good luck!
