Dear Folks,

 

A few years ago, I occasionally edited my posts and Topics on TV.

But...

I do not do this any longer.

 

Here is why:   It spoils the MOOD.

 

When one edits one's topics, the MOOD gets spoiled in the editing.

 

This is why I just free-flow my Topics, and then just hope for the best.

 

In most cases, it all comes out OK, in the wash.

 

You know, Hendrix was a proponent of Free-Flag Flying, in almost all cases.

 

Too much editing, always spoils the MOOD....

Do you agree?

 

 

Normally, what I do, anytime I feel a Topic coming on....

Is just to post it, first....

And then, maybe make a few corrections to typos.

 

This always works for me.

 

So, is this your strategy, too, for posting on TV?

 

I bet that STONER has never edited a Topic in his life.

 

Come to think of it....

Has STONER ever even posted a Topic?

 

He mostly just likes to provide good insight concerning others' Topics, which I, for one....

APPRECIATE!

 

Without good readers like STONER, then where would we writers be, anyway?

 

I LOVE TV.

TV is the ONLY Forum in Thailand which makes any sense to me.

 

I will always be reading TV, as long as I am alive.

 

Even if I were to leave Thailand for Japan, or American Samoa, which I hope I never do....

Then I would still be reading TV, and wishing I were back where I belong.....which is....of course.....

On this Great Forum.

 

Just saying....

 

TV is still the best, no matter how many times ownership might change, and....

 

I can feel a new ownership coming on....

 

Best regards,

Gamma

 

Note:  I can feel it coming on....

 

Note2:  So, when I say, "I can feel it coming on", what great tune immediately comes to mind?  I will post the tune, later, maybe....

 

 

Note3:  That's Right....  I can feel it coming on.......!

 

 

My best buddy.

 

 

 

Too little editing spoils the mead too.

 

Do I edit?
Puck yeah!

 

What do I edit?

Because editing.

 

(Correcting spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. Clarifying points. Sometimes self-censure of originally overly strong language to avoid problems with the management.)

So, then, what editor do you use, usually?

 

How many paid editors do you have working for you?

 

How much do you pay per hour?

 

I will edit your Topics, for a price....if the price is right, Sir.....

I will consider if you compensate me with a weekly high grade sushi feast.

ONLY in Japan.

NEVER in Thailand.

 

See you in Kyoto, Baby!

 

 

But you should..

My approach, which works best for me, in writing Topics and posts on TV, is similar to writing a Blue Book Exam:

 

 

a.  You have your Topic.

b. You know the correct answer.

c. You have your Blue Book and a pen.

d. Normally, one is not allowed to scratch-out or revise what one has written.

e. The exam is timed, and there is never enough time.

d. This is the way that I post on TV.

c. This is why posting on TV, at least for me, is normally so stressful.

b. Sometimes, I do wonder why I so willingly subject myself.

a. I am used to this. I have been doing it most of my life.

When is the last time you have had any really good mead?

Over 40 years ago.

At the first Ethiopian restaurant in the United States.

They were brewing their own illegally but sadly eventually got busted for that.

It was incredibly good.

Of course, in my case, almost invariably, after finishing our frequent Blue Book exams...

 

My prof never even read mine.

He just tossed in the can....

And gave me a C Minus.

 

Reading my Blue Book, he said, gave him a big headache.

 

I was OK with that!

 

 

But, but, but ...

Hmmmm!

I guess editing is difficult when you use a speech-to-text app.

I edit my posts to add extra detail, or correct typos.

The thing I like most about writing a Blue Book Exam on TV is that...

 

TV is always gracious enough to allow the student to choose his/her own exam questions....

Or maybe something worse - dementia is digging itself in deeper and deeper??  

Either way - not interested in reading its rubbish.

Correcting typos.

Maybe start by writing in paragraphs, which most adults can comprehend, instead of one line at a time, so we don't have to scroll such a long post.

Try the Green UP Arrow.

 

Whatever happened to that arrow......

Anyway?

 

(First it was on the Left.  Now, it's on the Right.  Next, who knows.....)

 

 

Lot easier to just write in paragraphs as one sentence at a time isn't correct grammar. I've been held out on long paragraphs before so I changed them into shorter ones.

So then, you are trying to take the Hemingway approach?

 

Simpler sentences, etc.

 

But, still seeking that perfect paragraph?

 

Roth wrote better paragraphs than Hemingway could have ever dreamed of writing.

 

 

Here, I'll fix it for you.................

Editing benefits sometimes - but is rarely required. Maybe it is a silly spelling error - or more often, you say what you really think about another poster, and you know it will lead to a suspension. Catch it if you can, especially if you are not on the 'liked' side of the argument/debate.

Thesis editing is required.

Also, most theses are basically feces.

Therefore, editing theses is for the birds.

 

After editing theses, I would not waste my time, again, editing anything, unless it was extremely lucrative, which writing on most forums is not.

Yes, but again, why do you write in one sentence paragraphs? Most of us here can understand a full paragraph.

I don't read too long posts like yours. Could do with editing.

A big NO! I edit because I sometimes think of something I should have added and I have to say that it doesn't spoil mine or the posts mood one little bit!
