I often have to edit case studies on boring stuff and people insist using punctuation to liven it up. Drives me insane. Professional people using double exclamation points.<BR/><BR/>And for kids writing, well it's downright irresponsible. No wonder the little tykes scream all the time.Vol Abroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07083054947673242940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15835759.post-1144815510998516202006-04-11T23:18:00.000-05:002006-04-11T23:18:00.000-05:00Check the back to see who the publisher is.If it's...Check the back to see who the publisher is.<BR/><BR/>If it's published by the company I'm betting did it, it's not written by a "writer" at all, and it has no editor.Kat Coblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989208841608754591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15835759.post-1144776118232523712006-04-11T12:21:00.000-05:002006-04-11T12:21:00.000-05:00Strawberry Shortcake is mindless drivel!!!

So that'll count for something, right?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<BR/>P.S.I always paraphrase kid's books too. If you ask me, my kids like my versions a lot better...I used to cheat and skip pages but they caught on when they got older.
