And this is a thing I hate is when someone believes they are better than me cause they "believe" they can place punctuation in it's right place. Get over yourselves (sp correct or might not be)
Really face book is about people communicating, I don't agree with it and you probably don't, let them have it without you looking for comma's in the right place.
Sure just look at this reply and I'm sure you can get off on that, as a Rant
If you want to be a journalist, be one and apply for a job.0 -

Really why would you believe that on Facebook, I certainly don't, it probably the up and coming journalist who is in charge of their facebook page, eg the interin. And I'm not saying either their stupid but, maybe they are there to learn some things, why cause they are young and inexperienced.
PS by the way some of the best writer's couldn't spell for ****. They told stories, they where, probably inaccurate in every gramatic term.

I'm sorry I have to disagree with this.
Any intern in charge of a page would be eager to impress. Competition is highly fierce nowadays. It's basically an online CV/portfolio.
I did an internship in a local newspaper and everything I did was proofread by two ladies with a passion for the English language and a gold-edged OED.
They never let me near Twitter or Facebook, that was the editor and the deputy editor's job. I have a hard time believing an intern only in the door would be left near social media. There are way too many horror stories out there.
I have every sympathy for those with dyslexia however to be frank a newspaper should at least maintain a veneer of professionalism- correct spelling and correct grammar.
I honestly don't care how old fashioned it sounds. I work in customer service now and the people who don't bother proofreading their emails are only doing themselves down as sometimes their queries make absolutely no sense and we have to delay things to ask them what the hell they mean.
Being professional=proper grammar and spelling.
