Thanks for all your feedback, but AGAIN I would just like to point out that I am a school child.

Don't worry, Katie. When you get to Secondary School they'll show you grammar and punctuation. Only 'show', mind.

This isn't a real job.

I'm sitting here at work thinking exactly the same thing!

Quote: Chappers @ January 20 2010, 6:01 PM GMT

OK - well good luck Katie.

But this surely is a reflection on today's education. You wouldn't expect someone over 14 to make these basic errors - especially someone aiming to be a writer!

Another thing...
I copied and pasted the paragrph, most of them are typos and were'nt even in the original...

I just hope you do eventually become a writer and / or media type and prove to us that on occassion nice people do manage to make it into the biz.
:)
I think most of us sad cynical elders could've cut Katie a touch of slack on account of her age and on not making the assumption that what we saw was exactly what was submitted.

But Laughing out loud and :$ for Griff spotting my error.

Oh and Tim, get off this thread if you are going to be rude

Astonishingly, you are the first person on the BCG to ever suggest this good advice to me. :O

Quote: Katie Coe @ January 20 2010, 5:51 PM GMT

you could at least wish me luck if you are going to join in :P Smarmy

Good luck, Katie. :)

Though, apparently, you make your own luck in this world, according to almost every irritating successful f$*k** I've ever met. :(

If you don't make it, there's always booze or drugs* to numb the pain! Wave

*Don't do drugs.

She's young, what's your excuse for being here?

I'm old ?

Quote: Marc P @ January 20 2010, 11:18 PM GMT

Never going to happen.

If good people never get into the biz then how do I explain you, eh? :)

So do I just double up on the booze...?
