I saw a social media post the other day that disturbed me quite a bit.

Someone stated that those who care about proper English skills (such as grammar, punctuation, etc.) feel they are “above” others; they love to belittle others who do not have these skills.

Well, I have a “very particular set of skills…acquired over a very long career” (as quoted by Liam Neeson in Taken). BUT:

✔ I do NOT belittle others if they don’t have these skills; and
✔I do NOT feel I’m better than others because I have these skills.

I love working with people who want some help with their content. I love how doing so gives them more confidence to put that content on their website, send an important email, and so forth.

That’s my job, and I feel lucky to have helped — and continue to help — people by using these skills.
