Reading and Google

Two of my biggest beefs when it comes to journal or blog entries, come from people whom seem incapable of doing simple things. I would hope that these people know who they are, but no doubt they're just as ignorant on this subject as all others

Just to be a cheeky jackass, you know the link you posted doesn't give any good search results on fishing, at least not within the first several pages, right? :P

[tombfyre]

Yeah, that one went with a literal quote to the above, rather than a better phrased search. :3 I'm well aware it didn't get a damned thing in terms of useful information. ;)

Its a magical place full of wonder, answers, and dragon-wolf-unicorn-slug hybrids that only the true believers can perceive.

On the INTERNET. :3

[tombfyre]

Perhaps! But not always.

Aye, Too Long Didn't Read is a term and method used far too often. ^^() It too bothers me quite a bit. Lazy typing gets on my nerves as well, especially when its not that hard to type out correct sentences.

[tombfyre]

I see what you did there. :3

Oh! This wuffy would make a sizable donation at the wishing well of your choice to get this practice limited to only the Internetz! *sighs and runs his head into the nearest wall

I, too, have to write with the stark summary at the top, immediately followed by a statement along the lines of "Doing otherwise will likely get you fired. From a cannon. Into the sun."

Too many occasions had me stop someone from doing something rather silly or dangerous and upon asking them *why* they went that way to be told that my document said to do it that way. It hurts my feelings to advise someone that although the document does in fact contain the WORDS he just told me, the words are not in the ORDER in which he told me. "I understand every word that you just said to me. But the order you put them makes NO sense whatsoever..."

As for the inclusion of the framing of the problem, the analysis, the options, and the decision, I think I could probably fill a page with lorem ipsum and maybe five people would notice.

Heh, yeah I'm sure that's all kinds of fun for you. ^^() Hooray for people missing the point, and driving their project off a cliff.

I suppose that is one good use for staff. ^^() If a wee bit on the lazy side.
