Using it doesn&#039;t require a degree in English nor a special vocation to use it, even if you used it incorrectly but attempted to apply it to define and give structure to your message. Being corrected on having not used it, only helps the individual know theirs can be improved and that your audience cares to hear what you initially hoped to communicate.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;Can&#039;t we just post some gold coins&quot; you say? Sure but the &#039;offending&#039; poster didn&#039;t just post pictures, they posted a sloppy block of copy which they wanted others to read,&nbsp; sharing a somewhat remarkable discovery story about his coins, but which appeared in atrocious form, and added to several of their other punctuation-delinquent posts throughout the forum. It was quickly identified as <i>laziness</i> learning to use technology, taking the easy route of omitting it all together, making no attempts to learn how to use said technology from one post to the next and further justified it all by their course in life as to why we should accept it. Plus they&#039;ve so far made no second attempt to correct the original post, simply moving on to do the same things elsewhere.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;Can&#039;t we just post some gold coins&quot; you say? Sure, and we have, but why are you adding a commentary if your goal is not to be rude and to only post some gold coins... Your own comment is in itself a indirect way of correcting others, thus you are at as much fault of being rude as you imply others to be through your own utterance.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you train others to think correcting one another is rude, the sort of world you indirectly create becomes limp, submissive and full of errors. Don&#039;t simply fall victim to a perceived sob story from someone who has been called out on a lazy post. Correcting online laziness in posting, aims to improve the quality of the message, just like every thread with a question or story shared about coins without pictures of the coins mentioned.&nbsp; In every such thread a chorus of replies erupts to correct the post deficient in images.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ultimately, when you use punctuation, you eliminate all this talk, and all of your worry of being rude in whether or not to comment and correct something. Of course we could all only post pictures and say nothing but this is a talking forum, where information is shared and all manner of things learned and corrected on a regular basis.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
