It's especially important when you're aiming for minimal characters (Twitter, obviously, but did you know that research has shown Facebook posts by brands that are under 80 characters receive the most engagement? True story).Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573663638391382162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-92214493143664078872011-04-27T14:33:14.885-07:002011-04-27T14:33:14.885-07:00Yay!

If the rec center people don't have the grammatical sense to keep random capitalization out of a sentence can I really trust them to properly conjugate verbs?Blondiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14402769870880880503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-7110437183153402552011-04-27T12:08:15.236-07:002011-04-27T12:08:15.236-07:00I just read a sentence like that in a book.

I imagine she had a difficult time trying to say that particular thing, because I couldn't think of anything better but it still really BUGGED me!Lara Neveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351324888724799014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-24023359650425479032011-04-27T11:36:02.453-07:002011-04-27T11:36:02.453-07:00Dang, I thought this was going to be a post about ...Dang, I thought this was going to be a post about morals--you know--like when doing something right makes you twitchy???Lisa Loohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04420899075048732055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-17331467110608676902011-04-27T11:06:34.432-07:002011-04-27T11:06:34.432-07:00Yeah.
