I submitted a story to Slashdot.org last night. It was about IBM making 13,000 workers redundant. It was late, the article had only just popped up on BBC News, but I thought I’d submit it anyway. It was pretty important (I mean, its IBM for christ sakes!) so off I toddled to Slashdot and posted. The trouble is, my grammar at that time of the night seemed to already be asleep and the result is this garbled post:
The BBC is reporting that IBM is losing 13,000 jobs. This comes after disappointing financial results. Most jobs will be going in europe.
Its short, its simple, its straight to the point. Its also served to make me look like a bit of a grammatical dunce. No more late night posting for me then.
Also, today is Election Day, so I was there, at the polling station with my card – 7:30am.
It better make a difference!
