I have recently put your blog on my regular reading list…. and a link on my resource page. The best part is I have been wanting to learn how to be a schmuck and bragged about your post and my schmuck plan.
Appreciate what you offer…
the temporary schmuck. 🙂
Unfortunately, there are many millions of persons in our society who have not learned to write well.
That being the case, I am conflicted.
On the one hand, I fully agree that writing which displays a lack of education or appreciation for proper grammar or style can be annoying, the alternative for these people would be either to return to high school or not express themselves at all.
I don’t think the latter is going to be acceptable any time soon. And, the former is probably not an option either.
So, what we have is a dilemma.
“Schmuck” is a term I am loathe to apply to persons guilty of less than perfect expression.
Short, sweet, to the point.
Frankly, I think schmuck covers it.
Hi, my name is Stephen Pierce, the World’s #1 Internet Wealth Advocate and you may have seen me on FOX News, NBC News, ABC News, CBS, DayTime, Daystar or heard me interviewed on ABC News Radio or Bloomberg Business Radio and other major network TV stations and cable shows radio programs.
“Sell to the loophole, not the customer.”
SO true…
You could write a whole post on #11 🙂
fantastic!
just found your blog while reading fred wilson’s blog, which lead me to read the blog post comments, which lead me to portentinteractive.com, which landed me here.
#4 does it for me.
Another one to add to your schmuck list … Have a couple of glasses of wine then go chat to people… duh That’s very schmucky and a BIG no no 🙂
You could write a whole post on any of the schmuck categories really Ryan 🙂
