In Response To: Re: Apparently not. (Yosh)

: is there anyone that dosent care about grammer puntuation or spelling, and
: that might have something to do with that challenge?!. this is a halo
: forum, dont make it into an english lesson, i put quotes to emphasize,
: make my point, as in say it under my breath so you notice it more, and
: apparently it worked, now can someone tell me if they've gotten any
: farther down that i have?, im almost positivetho that frogblast has gotten
: to the bottom of the shaft.

Look.

This is a Halo forum. In that, you're quite right.

However, whether this were a forum for gardening, or political discussion, or astrophysics, or optomology, or hagiography, or spirochete rodeo tactics, or indeed, anything, one key point would remain the same:

If you have something to say, more people will read it, understand it, and appreciate it if you say it clearly and concisely.

Maybe some people chose to struggle through your above post — but, simply because it was very difficult to read, I'd be willing to bet that a heck of a lot of them merely read a few lines, and then skipped the rest.

Why? Because it's not worth their time. Or at least, it doesn't seem that way. You might be divulging the meaning of life; but if you present it in a way that makes it hard for the reader to read, then nobody's ever going to know — because they're not going to bother reading it.

You get me? Content matters, but if you don't follow at least a modicum of Presentation, then your content will never get a chance.
