How's my driving

Have an issue with something I'm doing with Pepper? Don't want to chat with me over AIM or Plurk? That's ok. Just drop a note here and I'll get right back to you as soon as I can. All posts are screened, though I'm not sure how to disable IP logging. Sorry.

hey, i just wanted to drop a note about proofreading your tags and posts before you hit enter.

you may consider it a really finicky thing that doesn't matter or maybe it's just something you don't feel confident in or don't have an eye for it, but i think it's worth really giving your posts and tags a read before you let them fly. it's not so much that people judge your rp ability or characterisation based off grammar and proofing, but when you don't, it DOES give the impression you don't care very much and in turn might not care very much about rping well either.

i see often that you typo the names of characters (Katniss, Smiley, etc.), let broken html hang for a while, and other distracting errors, so would encourage you to try to work on it or give your writing a read over first. (especially with a character like Pepper, where you'd want to give an impression of clean precision.)

Very recent errors are in part due to a new keyboard that has been dropping and capitalizing things.

I also do proofread most of my work, so the fact that there are errors still is very upsetting to me. It is not anywhere near the case that I don't care about RPing and I'm sorry that my writing seems to have conveyed that to you and others. I am also sorry that I have been apparently misspelling names. I try to take extreme care that I don't do that, but apparently I have been doing a poor job of that.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

ok well you're welcome. don't take it hard or like i do not think you're trying - note my emphasis was on suggesting you proof read as opposed to telling you it's your typing or ability or keyboard, because i can't know.

It was a very understandable and helpful suggestion and I appreciate it very much. Thank you very much for bringing it up so that I can take steps to lesson the issue to (hopefully) the point that it doesn't happen again.
