Young Entrepreneur says I was Wrong
This is a follow-up to my ProBlogger Review
As I said before - the Problogger review is perhaps the single most important piece of user feedback / research I have ever undertaken.
I will not beat about the bush - for all it’s strengths, RetireAt21.com was found wanting in many areas and frankly we still have a huge amount of work to do. I will be posting about some of these changes and asking for your feedback over the next week or so.
Today however, I would like to start with my dyslexia. I will admit that I have sometimes allowed dyslexia to “excuse” my poor spelling and grammar - but as has been pointed out to me, many people with dyslexia overcome these challenges and there is after all such things a Spell Check and Grammar Check.
The Dyslexic’s Creed
To the point - from this day forward I commit to never do any of the following:
To use “i” when I should be using “I”
To use “were” when I should be using “where”
To use “There” when I should be using “Their”
To use “plain” when I should be using “plane”
To use “right” when I should be using “write”
To use “was” when I meant “saw”
If I may ask a favour - if on any post you see of mine, I make spelling or grammar errors, I would be obliged if you could in COMMENTS, point out any errors - so that I may correct them. You are also welcome to make your own suggestions for what should be added to the above list. Just be aware of the differences between USA English and UK English - I am in the UK.
Also, I am aware that there are plenty of corrections to make to existing spelling and grammar on this site - and this will also be another of the issues that I will be attempting to resolve in the next few months.
Wish me luck - as you know, my normal state is CONFIDENT - but this really is a challenge
Thank you
