I think there is a problem trying to do update or post new stuff in Blogspot right now. As I am typing, I am seeing the ugly 'Courier New' font that I only use it when I am creating word documents for my work (yes, I do use this ugly font for work).
When I am editing posts, I am seeing all the tags showing their ugly '<>' to me that just makes the whole thing difficult to read and edit. Just in case you are wondering why am I editing my past posts, the answer is (drum rolls)..... Grammar.
Yes, grammar, not your grandma; and spelling errors as well. I have a habit of writing a lot when I feel the inspiration (which probably explains why there are so many new posts coming out in a few days), and I do not like to go back and do editor work. I lose my interest pretty fast after spewing out whatever I have in mind and tend not to look back lest I should kill whatever I felt that was brilliant at the moment in writing.
However, as I was trying to brainstorm for some ideas for the first post in 2010, I went back to read through the stuff I wrote, and felt the sore in my eyes for seeing so many spelling errors and obvious grammatical errors. I have to say that I am not perfect at English. Passing my 'O' level was probably just some pure dumb luck, but that does not mean that I do not see the very basic errors in grammar. In fact, some were really really bad that I start to worry if this problem is reflecting in my work emails as well (apparently not as professional as self-perceived to be... sobz)...
I think I have to try to write some simple English so that the bad spelling errors and grammar will not be so obvious? haha.... New resolution: buck-up on English!
Just a few minutes ago, I was watching Chelsea Handler on E! and she was mocking Lindsay Lohan's twitter post. Her new year resolution says: "2010 is about moving forward, not backwards. Leaving the bad (people, habbits, and negative energy behind) time to make changes-right!?!? :)"... and I embarrassingly realised that I spelled the same way she did only a few days ago... oohhh nnnooo....
*As of the time of completing this blog, I am still seeing the ugly Courier New font with the tags... kaoz...*
