That's why i'm wrong, @steveswrong
Once again twitter brings another inspirational article to my attention. This one from Tim Walker was interesting to me because links into my life philosophy of allowing myself to be wrong.

This inspired me to add the following comment to the post
When I first started chatting on the internet, I was really worried about spelling mistakes & the correct use of grammar. But after a short while i came to the realization that flow was sometimes more important than absolute correctness.
A sentence communicated late just doesn’t have the impact of one said in direct response. Timing is sometimes as equally important for advancing a topic of conversation as the information itself.
The byproduct of this is I write more. It’s easier for me to get into the flow when I am free from worrying if someone will think less of me because of my grammatically incorrect use of English.
I’ve also dropped using word & would rather use text edit with little to no auto spell check as this helps to exercise my brain.
The bottom line is that it’s not my business what other people think of me.
I am also more than happy to be corrected because I love not only the discussion that arises but also the fact that I stand to learn something new.
That’s why I’m wrong, @steveswrong :
