Haven't written a post for 3 days know, and have sort of been pudding it off. Your thinking: he's just lazy! But your wrong. The truth, I have discovered, is that I am just too much of a perfectionist - and it is slowing me down. They're. I've sad it. Since starting this blob I have tried to write the best English of which i am capable, punctuated properly. I have been careful with my spelling and strict with my grandma, for one simple reason: this is a company blog and, as such, it is HTS's calling-card. But then I read to day, in Penelope Trunk's brilliant blog The Brazen Careerist, that Writing without typos is totally outdated. You don’t have unlimited time, she writes in her thought-promoking, completely error-free post, so spend it on ideas, not hyphens. To me it was like being libated from prison. The snales fell from my eyes. I had been bland! Now I could sea. Ideas - not hypen's. It almost made me feel better about the fact that one reason i haven't been blogging is that, as a resaucer / admnin monkey in a recruitment agency, i have been going through candidate's cvs' all day correctig misspellings of the world liaise, which is not spelt liase, lease or leayse. What had i been getting so stressed about? Sometimes it drived me so mad! I would sit and tremble and a work colleague had to put a hand on my shoulder and calm me down. 'Their their,' they would say. 'It's only woods on a page.' And they are right. It's only wood's. Just because on blogs wood's is all we have, apart from picture's and video's and music that is, it doesn't mean that we have to get so stressed about making them the RIGHT wood's, or about using full stops sometimes you just have to let inspiration flow and trust you're reader to make sense of how that or could it? Well, could it? It could. Or could it? It reminds me of an incidental I am ashamed of now. In the pub, having an augment with someone recently, with me winning the augment quite easily, my interloputer suddenly say's: Why do you have to be so logical all the time? I said to her: Grammatical be should why we time all the? She said, What? i thought it was a good answer at the time but now i feel ashamed, like i just said. From now on, no more of this 'anal' approach to blogging for me. In fact, I am going to stand on my desk right now and shout at the top of my lugs, NO MORE ANAL BLOGING FOR ME! And no more cleaning up peoples's CV's as though i am some kind of fascist! Let them leayise to there heat's content, for all i care!!! Its' only woods. IDEA'S - NOT - HYPHEN'S. Your comment's are most welcome!!!!!!!!

I think that writing that post must have taken you longer than usual as you deliberately tried to mis-spell words.
I take your point though.
It's harder than it looks.
(BTW, shouldn't you be holidaying rather than reading this?)
My boss didn't find it so funny when I shouted it in the office while standing on my desk...
