My only regret is that I didn't vet the letter a couple more times for spelling and grammar. It's tough to keep an articulate reader's attention when you commit a blatant grammatical error in the first sentence.

I know this because I'm most critical of others' writing and I take personal offense when others butcher the English language. I must learn some patience. Repeated proof reading is the only way to effectively remove ALL errors from a passage. And frankly, no one has the time to proofread a long message in a gaming forum twelve times before posting it.

It's funny. I'm most inspired to write messages like the one above when I'm least likely to commit time to proofreading them (in the evening before bed).


*SIGH*

This pre-supposes that Mary Beth Hesnon has any knowledge of grammatical structure. My guess is that you'd have had a better result with...SH5 OMG WTF!

Thank you for that well written letter.

It is good to see people who can rationally explain the situation the game and the community is in without the need for, as you say, expletive and rash language.

Thank you skookum for best representing the good qualities that subsim holds in its members.

Cheers,

Krauter

I am writing you today as an average video game consumer. I'm 32 years old. I'm a father. And I have little to no hair.

Somebody give this guy a prize. I enjoyed reading it and hope Ubi gets the message.
