In the past year, ESPN.com has added a few dozen bloggers that report on specific sports divisions. This has been great as a dedicated Steelers and Penn State fan. I'm constantly checking out new posts on the AFC North and Big Ten blogs, respectively. Each blogger posts at least one mailbag, where casual readers like myself write in to the blogger, every week. It's a great way to argue with the blogger, bring up new ideas, get questions answered and get their "insider" take on a given issue.
While this is great and usually enjoyable to read other viewpoints, I must say that I have a major pet pieve with poor grammar. Why would you write to a blogger on ESPN.com with the writing level of a 1st grader? You have to assume that he/she will post your comment. Why make yourself look like a complete idiot to everyone that reads the blog? Even worse, these morons are generally trying to get a certain point across. How can you expect to be taken seriously when your grammar is consistent with someone who has yet to graduate elementary school?
In my opinion, laziness is no excuse. Write with reasonable spelling and grammar (so an educated man can make sense of it) or keep your comments to yourself. I for one won't give you much respect if you appear to have the IQ of a tennis ball. Case in point....Nick from the Bay Area. http://myespn.go.com/blogs/bigten/0-3-571/Big-Ten-mailblog.html
