Okay, so, I know I'm a**l about spelling, punctuations, the basic writing conventions. I know that, I accept that, and I'm kinda trying to lighten up about it (dude, I'm a regular on a message board that is filled with 3 million txt-speek n00bs, I can't go around correcting everyone). But this story that I'm peer-reviewing for my writing class...I can't get through the story at all.
Part of it is its "this happened, and then this happened. After that, this happened" format, which is boring, but most of it is all the goddam errors. Seriously, the spelling looks like a third-grader's and there's virtually no punctuation within the quotes. Not even end-punctuation outside of the quotes - that'd be reasonable; even though I strive to follow conventions, the "punctuation goes inside the quotes" is one that I frequently skip, and I do it on purpose too, but that's a whole other story.
And there's Spanish used but it's all spelled wrong. "No Say, Sinor" as an example. And this was written by a college student. Waste of his money going to college, if you ask me. (The stories are anonymous, but I think I know who it is, so I feel okay using "his". Oh, and it's not like English is his second language, either - even if I'm wrong about who it is, there are no ELLs in class that I can detect.)
Plus he switches tense frequently, but I don't think it's on purpose. There's no identifiable reason for him to switch tense - he's not going into flashbacks or anything.
This thing is not even 1500 words long, and I can't get past the second page. There are like 20 different places I've circled on the first page alone, and at least another twenty on the second. What the hell was he doing during his English classes, anyway? Jacking off in the bathroom?
Okay, okay, so he might have an LD or something. Fine. But grammar-check should've caught most of the punctuation errors at least. This just looks like a slapped-together-the-night-before job to me.
EDIT: LOL!!! Quote: "[I'm going to] make those redneck hankies know that blacks are in charge" Hehehehe, hankies...
