Dr. Dato’s Brief:
This kind of posts seems to be coming up time and time again emphasizing the importance of proper grammar, spelling errors, use of abbreviations and things like that.
If you have read some of my previous posts not directly related to this subject, you will see that the improper usage of the English language can have a negative effect on the part of the reader. Here are my tips for improving in this area where you can write great profiles and maintaining good communication that will have more appeal with your fellow readers. We all want this because its going to get us more dates!
Firstly, it is important to understand that no one has perfect command of the English language with perfect grammar and mistakes are made all the time. In fact, I make the common mistakes such as typing ‘recepient’ instead of the correct spelling ‘recipient’.
The good thing about our online browsers today is that it has a built-in spell detector which you may have noticed when you type a word, it underlines it in red if it has detected a spelling error in that word. I can see the word above ‘recepient’ appearing with a red underline as I write this post in Wordpress. You should pay attention to this and correct it right away, especially if it looks blatant. If you are unable to find the correctly spelt word, just go to Google and copy that word and Google will give you suggestions, its that easy!
However, I noticed that sometimes the built-in spell checkers for browsers does not detect errors such as the case here when I misspelt ‘maintaining’ with ‘maintaing’ which was not detected by a red underline. When I scanned back to that sentence, that is how I spotted it.
The best way to ensure complete accuracy of your writing is to feed it through a dedicated word processor such as MS Word and even some of the online applications such as Google word document. By the way, I am not trying to advocate Google’s products or services, I just think that they have very good tools available to the average Joe like you and me and it is freely available.
Here is another tip that will definitely improve your writing a great deal and this is to write and write about anything that interests you. In this way, you will get used to thinking about the proper structuring of sentences, use of words, typo errors and they instinctively improve your writing style over time.
good writing style gives a better impression to the reader

I have a lot to offer as a companion, as I am a very loving person that enjoy giving and receiving attention & affection. I am a honest and fair person. I love to laugh and I believe laughter is good for our souls! I’m looking for someone who is sweet & kind, I’m looking for a best friend & a lifetime partner. I like to travel & see new places or neat things. On a nice day you can usually find me working in the yard, planting flowers, landscaping, or doing something around my home. I enjoy music and will never pass up a slow dance with that special someone! Cooking is a favorite pastime of mine but I also enjoy dining out. Family is very important to me and I hope it is to you also..I am looking for someone who wants to be a team…2 is always better than 1! There are many other things I enjoy… fishing, camping, bike rides, quiet evenings, movies, cookouts, swimming, yard sales, and much more. I don’t have any children…however, not by choice. As I said …looking for love, not for looks. However, there must be an attraction for there to be a fire, being a kind person, I find, is attractive also. Any questions…just ask!
I am woman who has my faith as my foundation,my patience and giving self as the building blocks, and, as I have been told… a heart as big as Texas. I wish to love someone for the rest of my life. To wake up with him by my side, knowing that no matter what happens…I’ll be able to have his loving arms to come home to. To share everything with him.To talk to him about our own ideas, our dreams,the little things that make us laugh.. and the not so little things that we can’t help worrying about. I want to give him my love…a pure love -as a place that he can come to for acceptance or the simple comfort that silence brings when words left unspoken can still be understood. I want to grow old with him, to watch our life unfold, our dreams, one by one, to become our reality.I’m looking for someone who has a good sense of humor, is easy going, has a positive outlook, is open-minded and mature. I would describe myself as kind, thoughtful and compassionate. I was extremely shy when I was a little girl which I think has often resulted in some people mistakenly thinking I’m snobbish or aloof; now I’m just a little reserved until I get to know someone. I’m not a drama queen or a whiner. I like to laugh and I like to think my kids keep me young. I enjoy good books, movies and like to cook and bake. I enjoy nature and the outdoors but am not really athletic. I love music (pop and country, some stuff from other genres) and the arts in general. I tend to lead a fairly quiet life. I would prefer to snuggle on the couch with someone I care about than go to an amusement park (don’t really like crowds)
