Use Proper English STAMP

Published:
1.1K Views

Description

I can't stand people who think they are artists but yet cannot manage to use proper English, spelling, and punctuation, and use the same words over and over again a million times in their descriptions. Did they not go to school past the 3rd grade? Do they not own a dictionary? My NINE year old can spell better than some people I've seen on here and other websites of distinction. It's ok to use 'slang' terms every once in a while, because I do due to my country heritage and raising, but it's annoying to use it constantly. It makes you look incredibly stupid. So therefore, read my latest stamp. Enough said. This need not apply to our foreign friends from out of the country, so do not think I am singling you out. This is just geared towards those who should know better. Ignorance is not bliss. It just makes you look like idiots, plain and simple.




EDIT TO ADD ANOTHER STATEMENT TO CLARIFY ANY MISCONCEPTIONS:


I did not imply this to foreigners or people of a different language. I meant this for those whose main language is English, was raised in America and should know better. I personally LOVE to see art and photography from other countries and people of a different denomination than myself. It gives me a chance to see places I may never get to and see the styles they use as well. I may not be able to read their language or understand their descriptions, but I can admire the art anyway.


If you do not like my opinion, I do not force it on you, and you don't have to view it. Thank you to those who agree with me, and keep on keeping on. 'Ray loves you!

I'm all for speaking proper English and all that jazz, believe me, but I don't think it should be a requirement for someone to be called an artist. I'd take them as a more serious artist if they did, but I would never think them to be any less of an artist because they don't speak proper English.
