it must be a deeply harrowing moment to realise your a literacy dunce when ....
Not sure how I feel about that comment. Some people are afraid to post anything more than a short "I really liked your story", because of attitudes like that. Readers, (like me), may not be that great at writing. Afraid of being called out for evermore, (these are on a blockcode that supposedly will never go away).
Short quick "I like" post can be for a lot more reasons then the one I tried to write.
Still for: @suesa, I will resteem this post because I found it useful, I may not entirely agree, but it is a handy guide.
Short comments like that often seem copy&paste, but I recently started to ask which part the commenter specifically liked. Honest commenters (like you) usually feel safe enough to explain. Spammers don't react.
And tbh, the comments I really hate are those that have basically no connection to the actual post and just ramble random nonsense. Happens on almost every post if mine.
Yes, that is true. I do use short post a bit, especially when it comes to reading stories. I do not like to point out spelling type errors on a persons story post. Fat fingers happen a lot. If I do not like a story then I just do not comment. By the time I get to the third or fourth post of a continuing story, I start to run out of things to say, other than I am continuing to enjoy the story thanks. I'm not much of a critic, I hated that part of my last job, evaluating people and their work.
