I've got one last thing I've got to take care of for a writing class. I've got to track down a short article or piece of writing that is an example of poor writing. Frankly at this point I dont care what it is....newpaper, editorial, game review, long post here...(I'm looking for that now). I've got to highligh the problems and rewrite it.

Has anyone come across anything online they can think of that was just blatantly bad? Post me links if you can think of any.

Thanks.

Jim

Quote>We have a coyote on the loose in ur back yard in the woods. The frist time I saw him was at dusk, and I kept looking at it becuase I didn't know what it was. I thought it was the worlds ugliest dogs or something, so I asked my neighbor who was outside as well, what the heck that is, and told me it was a coyote!
One day I'm going to let the dogs in from outside on the leash to only pull back the leash, and not the dogs! That thing better stay away from our dogs.


I can't even figure out just what he may be saying. Could it be klingon, or maybe cardasion...

Its as if the clouds parted and the sun shown down on a pot of gold....

Tis a goldmine of examples...

My many thanks.

 

You are correct Mike. The basic problem with my errors is the fact that they aren't worthy of a nice long correction paragraph for an English class.
I promise, I'll try to shape up.

 

Examples of "bad writing" (do you mean like that?) on this site?!?!?!

NO WAY!

Really?

I . . . well, for example . . . uh, maybe if you . . . how about . . .

Now kobiashi, you are back and forth so much editing your posts, it reminds me of a woman in a shoe store.
