Imperfect Blogs

I think it's unfortunate when bloggers use precious time and bandwidth to ridicule the grammar/typos (link via Reynolds) of other bloggers. To me, the arguments of pro websites and blogs are fair game, as is the grammar of pro websites (the Chron anyone?). But I see no reason to use this forum to criticize the creative efforts of other bloggers on the basis of grammar and usage -- I would much rather celebrate the best blogs than dwell on the negative, because I tend to value even imperfect acts of creation. And those that don't appeal to me? Nobody makes my browser return to them.

Those of us who post to the web, sans copy editors, are bound to have some mistakes in copy, and some more than others. It's not the end of the world. To me, anyway. If other bloggers disagree, great! Even with typos. :)
