    Quality article mate, agree with almost every word of it.

    One bit of advice, get out of that site. Seriously it is better if you go to site with an actual editor who can advise you on writing, form etc... and will improve you as a writer.

    I liked the content paddy, very balanced.

    I'm no English grad so take this with a truck load of salt......but some of places you've put commas don't read right to me and some of the sentences are a lot shorter than I like to read.

    Nice one Gaz. Doesnt really matter whether 'technically' it's correct or not does it? If it doesnt read right then it's not right. Will take it on board, will have to do it consciously though, bad habits and all that.

    I'm probably not the best man to give that observation over sentence length mate. I've just started doing a bit of boxing writing and was given the advice to shorten my sentences because the target audience may have trouble following longer ones.

    Its quite possible (probable?) your sentences are fine and mine are too long!!!

    I'd like to think that was the case, but you're not the only one to make that comment :oops:
