Thank you, my fellow netters

Based on the number of visits and comments on each post in my blog site, the most popular post is the one about Rachael Ray which I wrote about one year ago. Today after reviewing that post, I was shocked and also embarrassed. Grammatical mistakes are everywhere and the style is a complete mess. All sentences with parallel structures were not balanced, articles were left out in a lot of places, and the tense was not consistent throughout the post. More important, there was no clear logic within the paragraph and between the paragraphs.

I am not sure how I could write such a poor post, but I can assure you that I have read and re-read that post before posting it. In fact, I might be proud of myself for making several parallel structures and using a few high level words.

Therefore, I felt ashamed when I saw more than 2000 people have read that post and three people have even made nice comments on it. They are very kind not commenting on my writings.

After more than one year of blog writing, my English has improved quite significantly. In addition, I am reading grammar and style books these days. They also clarified my many misunderstanding in writing. Accordingly, I have made substantial revisions in case more people will read that post. I guess all of my previous posts should be revised too.

Thank you, my fellow netters. Your kindness is the best support for me to continue my writing practice.
