You get used to it when you've reached the unachievable milestone of being on here for 6 months. All is good. Can't please most. No matter your efforts.

I'm not being abusive - just honest.

Well I like it! When you write, which I have from time to time, the eye can be tricked into seeing what you think you have written, not what you actually have written. It can lead to spelling errors, poor punctuation and so on. The trick is to be brave enough to ask someone else to look over your writing, but that is surprisingly tough.

This is descriptive and informative. It brings back memories, some good, some not so good. It sets the scene nicely for tomorrow, which is probably the point.

Good stuff.

Someone just had to point out the errors. Welcome to the internet.

I love the article. With english being like my fourth or fifth language I wish I could have such knowledge of it as its writer.

I'm not qualified to give an opinion on the writing but let me tell you, it's a bloody relief to see the 1 year column drought over. Why don't more people submit them?

People say some horrible things to people in my position, who have taken risks and tried something new. Then when the pressure is on them to write one even better than the one they dissed, they do worse. I'm happy that a few found it a good read.

You asked for an honest opinion and people gave it. So don't complain when you get criticism. There's some merit in your writing, but you'll need to work at it hard to make it sound professional.

It's important to remember this is a 'community' column and therefore having journalistic skills is not required. It's just intended for members with respectable English to air their opinion in article format.

The fact we have so few submissions probably adds unfair focus on those that get published.

I'm not complaining about the criticism, I'm complaining about how picky people can be about the article.
