Comic Books And The Internet, Continued

Posted by Hemos on from the groth-and-sim dept.

A number of readers have written in about the Salon story talking with Gary Groth's recation to Scott McCloud's pieces on the intersection of the comic and the Internet. Groth's feelings are much different then McCloud. I love the comic book format (am currently reading Cerebus, The Dreaming and Bone amongst others) and think is an interesting issue - 'specially considered within the greater question of "art" and digital media.

    Oh, the Humanity! Let me correct this atrocious grammar.
    A number of readers have [Nope: a number has. English has the pesky habit of having the verb of each clause agree with its subject.] written in about the Salon story talking with Gary Groth's recation [Nope, sorry, a news article doesn't talk with anyone, let alone a recation.] to Scott McCloud's pieces on the intersection of the comic [A comic is a person. A comic book (or the comics or a comedy) is the expressed form of art that Hemos may mean.] and the Internet. Groth's feelings are much different then McCloud [Nope, "than McCloud's" (or "than McCloud's are."), or if you want to get quite technical, "from McCloud's".]. I love the comic book['s] format [less ambiguously, "the format of comic books"] ( [insert "and" -- this isn't a telegram] am currently reading Cerebus, The Dreaming and Bone[,] amongst others) and [I] think [it] is an interesting issue - 'specially considered within the greater question of "art" and digital media. [This is unclear. "'Art' and digital media" is not a question. Try "the new role of 'art' expressed through digital media." or "the impact of digital media on 'art'", which might be construed as posing a question. It is also of course quite unclear why Hemos puts "art" in quotation marks.]


    Number of total errors: lots.
    Number of spelling mistakes that any spellchecker would catch: just one.
    Not too bad, Hemos, not too bad.


    I am not a grammar NAZI, but I play one on /. Wanna' hire me as a technical writer/proofer?
    Just reply to this with an email addy, munged if you like. I'm in the Boston area and won't move for ya' though.

    My god, how stupid are you bastards? That's not even a word... And, just for the record myriad is a NOUN, not an ADVJECTIVE or ADVERB... Jesus, I would have never give you idiots HS diplomas, let alone let you editor anything.
