Intro to destruction

What's up? Your probably reading this because you have to. That's cool. My name is Jeremy Fabris, and let me break it down for you like this.

I'm working my way towards a degree in journalism. So a lot of writing I see there I usually use as a standard for good writing. But also, I know that the circumstances can change. For instance, you probably wouldn't post profanity in a newspaper. Having that is not a good example of writing. However, I write a column on the internet, and profanity is frequently used there. Use of profanity there is not a real big issue because it is just part of the language there. The writing standard over there is it must have good grammar and spelling and must have good formating. A lot of people have sidebars in the columns they write over at this particular site, and we critique each other on how well they are used. We critique each other on how well we stay on topic, and over all readability.

Where I'm trying to go with this is that I have a standard for writing, but I also realize with different writings comes some different parts of standards. Grammar and spelling and format are always important. Language is not, because not everybody uses the same language.

Done like dinner.

Jeremy
