mein_traum That's great! When you do something for monetary reasons, usually you may not gain what you think you are worth of. But you may accumulate your fruition unconsciously when you do it sincerely.

mein_traum I don't like straining my eyes all the time to read newspaper. I see the news video instead. Thus, I don't have to focus on the screen and the small words all the time.

mjanne @mjanne (251) • China 10 Feb 09

How do you feel about grammar and spelling mistakes you might come across?

PlantBuddy @PlantBuddy (183) • Canada 5 Feb 09

mein_traum Most of the time, I can comprehend the writers' meaning if the mistakes aren't too serious to hinder me from understanding. I read some writing about reading system in human beings. People only scan the spelling, instead of reading each letter of each word.

mein_traum People may have different values over different things. For some people, the embedded meaning in a painting may be immeasurable, that explains why they are willing to pay such a large amount of money for a piece of art. But for me, I am sure I won't buy a...
