Up With Which I Will Not Put
This is something up with which I will not put.
This is something I'm not gonna put up with.
If the first sentence doesn't send your head spinning, then I am sure the second sentence is surely setting off slang alarm bells. Let's back up for just a moment and refresh last week's post; what are relative clauses anyway, and why should you care about them? Relative clauses are dependent clauses (they cannot stand alone as sentences), and they provide additional information about a noun. Relative clauses feature both a subject and a verb that are grammatically INDEPENDENT from the main clause. Take this sentence for example:
I went over to my friend's house, which is located on Mason Street.
The relative clause provides additional information about the friend's house, but the friend's house is not the subject of the main clause, which is "I." In other words, relative clauses can have nothing to do with the main subject of a sentence.
Secondly, and this is where many "whomists" start sounding the alarm bells, the relative clause is introduced by a relative pronoun. As I noted in last week's post, the relative pronouns in English are
who, whom, that, which, whose, where, when, and why
Once you select a relative pronoun, all you need to do is finish out the clause. This is where the No Preposition at the End of a Sentence Brigade chimes in. Just like regular sentences, relative clauses cannot end with a preposition, they say. The best solution is to take the preposition and place at the beginning of the clause. So we have constructions like:
To whom it may concern
With whom I was speaking
Upon which I was standing
Up with which I will not put
These types of constructions are quite common in German. But as I said in the last post, they sound quite formal to my non-Churchillian, American ears. Guessing from the readership commentary, the "whoms" and "with whoms" sound too highbrow for most of our sensibilities.
Reader question of the week: What is the weirdest preposition + relative clause combination you have ever heard? Send it in and let us all have a laugh. For my part, here is a YouTube video of a Ben Affleck Saturday Night Live skit that satirized Keith Olbermann, one of America's more excitable news commentators.

The way I heard it: When cautioned by an assistant about ending a sentence with a preposition, Churchill replied: "This is errant pedantry up with which I will not put."

I think we do not do our children a favor when we do not hold them to a higher standard. I've always been disgusted with the attitude of "Oh, well...no one speaks that way anymore, so we'll lower our standards because they're too stupid to learn the correct way."
Then why not give up and all start speaking Ebonics? Or "Mrs. Wells, I gotta go to the bafroom. Can he come wif me?" As long as I'm teaching, I will continue to stress proper grammar. My kids can learn it and I won't give up, regardless of how things are spoken at home. Someone will get -- not all, but SOMEONE will really get it. - September 24, 2009 at 11:13 PM
To the teacher stressing proper grammar, as much as I agree with you that children can and should learn proper grammar, I don't know if children should be ridiculed for speaking dialects. For one thing, "proper english" is such a subjective notion. And really though, there's no denying that different environments call for differing levels of formality. Insisting that a child, or anyone else for that matter, speak in only formal english, is like asking that they willfully wear a kick-me sign.

As an ESL teacher teaching college level foreign students, I have to say that I disagree with the anonymous posting dated April 22. While I'm not advocating the use of snobbery or embarrassing children in front of their peers by speaking "proper" English, there is something to be said for speaking English using correct grammar. (I believe it lends itself well when having to adopt proper writing conventions for essay writing.) Oral English is being battered as it is with the likes of songs and movies. Why not educate our youth to recognize the difference?

"Up with which" is complete nonsense and incorrect. It was said falsely to try to make out that the prepositions at the start thing is incorrect.
Read this blog.

@Bob - How can you take seriously a paper on grammar by someone who could not be bothered with constructing correct examples. For instance; 'With how many interruptions am I supposed to put up?' Would be better represented by; 'Up with how many interruptions am i suppose to put.'
- March 27, 2011 at 10:40 PM
I am a teacher, and I believe learning English well is important. The problem with a couple of comments here is the assumption that the "rule" against ending a sentence with a preposition is not a valid rule. You are actually doing your students a disservice when you expect them to write an speak in this manner. As the editors of the Oxford Dictionaries state: There's no necessity to ban prepositions from the end of sentences. Ending a sentence with a preposition is a perfectly natural part of the structure of English.

". . . put up with" is good informal spoken English. It gets the speaker's point across to the listener. The goal of communicating an idea quickly and effectively in the situation is achieved.
Our efforts to promote the use of Standard English in writing and appropriate levels of formality in spoken English can be well-served if we acknowledge the differences when we're instructing and correcting our students.
Diction is important in speech. Many students seem unable to hear-- and use-- the -s endings on nouns and verbs that inflect nouns and present tense verbs to distinguish singular from plural; they seem to miss -ed endings on past tense verbs and past participles. Present participles end in -ing. Infinitives begin with 'to.'
This is news. "We are supposed to say 'I am going to write like this,' instead of 'I'm gonna this out.'"
I believe this leads to many grammatical errors in students' written work.
We do well, I believe, when we uphold the standard of appropriate, properly spoken English in school, and remind students that when writing, they have the chance to think, to clarify and to revise.
Appropriate vocabulary can help eliminate grammatical conundrums.
"I shall not suffer, I shall not endure, I shall not tolerate any further interruptions."
I'm no going to allow any more, either.
"Aint gonna put up w/ nun a this s**t"
No offense. That's the way they text it! - May 2, 2012 at 9:19 AM
American English is a descriptive language. Therefore, our grammar rules apply more to written works than common speech.

You don't get any influence from winning the playoffs. There's also a special thread that comes up every season or so in the League Headquarters, and you can post in it for the chance to win influence or gamechangers.

cityscopes winners
CITYSCOPES: The Winners
It took a while but the votes have finally been counted and we can now reveal the winner of the Rapha Cityscopes competition. Suffice to say it was tough to overlook so many of the superb entries but the people have clicked, carried, uploaded and voted. So here they are.
In fourth spot, an image that speaks of the divine truth of city riding. Even if you are just cruising to the shops, it's always a race. This was taken during the Tour of California by the looks of things so these men aren't commuting to the office.
Chicago, my kind of town. It's where pizza-pies and Al Capone come from. Taken along the shore of Lake Michigan, this is a good example of what we were after.
A very popular choice and about as good as it gets in terms of the view from the bike in the city. Looks like the Big Apple to me, but then you can do anything with Photoshop these days…
This picture tells more than a thousand words. It not only encapsulates the pure and essential joy of riding a bike, it also makes a mockery of all those single-speed-riding hipsters!
1st Place: City Wind Jacket and Tote Bag
2nd Place: City Riding Cap and Socks
3rd Place: Great Road Climbs of the Northern Alps
4TH Place: Rouleur Photo Annual 2011

Posted in Wordswell on 07/02/2009 02:18 pm by Janet
Let me explain how I came up with the name. To be fair, I didn't come up with the name. Brian Keenan did.
In April of 1986 Brian Keenan was an unknown university teacher from Belfast until he was seized by Muslim gunmen in Beirut, Lebanon and became their hostage for nearly 5 years.
I met Brian in Henley in 1997 and wrote to him asking him to name the building I was constructing to work from. This is the letter he wrote in return:
"I thought a lot about this. So for what it is worth, here it is. I focussed on the notion of a language therapist being a kind of WORD smith – like a blacksmith! For some reason the wooden building and the work being done there made me think of a NUT. But the Nuthouse would be entirely inappropriate!!! My wife, who is a physiotherapist suggested "awakenings" as you awaken up the lost but residual capacity in people. I thought "The Wakenings" might be a good name for the place but it's hardly a corporate term. – Awakenings or Wakenings might be more suitable. But still that didn't suit my own "draw" on things. I went back to my original thought about blacksmiths, and foundries and workshops. I liked the term "Smithy" – a place where new forms are created. But I also liked the notion of a well, a permanent place of substance – we draw from the well, water, life perhaps meaning. I thought of something like "Holywell" being the well of nourishment and Holy, meaning to make whole. So it became "The Holywell Clinic". Still I wasn't sure and juggled again in my Blacksmith's forge and finally came up with "WORDSWELL". It has a plethora of associations for me too long for me to elaborate, but that's what I resolved on. It may not be up your street but it seems to me to have a corporate and personal ring to it. It also "fixes" exactly what you do – I think!"
Thank you Brian.

Smith said she and her daughter are not against marrying. They are against marrying for the wrong reasons.
"Nowadays, it doesn't have to be that (women) want to marry a doctor ? because she is the doctor," Smith said.
What Is Key To Happiness?
Zandria Marcuson of Alexandria, Va., says many women believe that marriage will lead to happiness because people see it as the logical next step.
"Have fun in your 20s, get a good job, get married, have a family. That path will make some women happy, but for others it won't," she says.
The executive assistant to the president of a D.C.-based nonprofit organization also believes people get married for the wrong reasons. She does not want to fall into that category. She remains undecided about marriage.
"Some people get married too quickly, without really knowing each other well enough. Some people get married because of tax(es) or health insurance and other financial benefits," she says. "Some people get married because they feel like it's the expected thing to do, or they don't want to be alone, or because they're ready to start a family."
Marcuson's parents are divorced, but she said she does not have a negative view of marriage. However, some people get married for the wrong reasons.
"(Getting married) is not the only life choice available for a happy life," she says.
Meanwhile, Marcuson says she is busy dealing with everything else her life offers.

Emergency personnel were on the scene of major impact areas, like near the destroyed Silver Creek Mini Mart on Ga.
101, soon after the first calls came in, and work crews spread throughout the southern part of the county to clear fallen trees from more than two dozen roads.
"We came through OK," Floyd Public Works Director Michael Skeen said. "There were some things we could have done a little quicker, but there are always things you can do a little better."
He said that crews would probably continue to haul away debris from the storm for the rest of the week.
An after-event meeting is planned sometime next week for the involved agencies to go through debriefing about the response and performance during the storm and its aftermath.
One of the subjects that will be discussed, according to Floyd County Emergency Management Agency Director Scotty Hancock, is the ways they can integrate more training on the new communication system's radios.
They're looking into reports of a radio assigned to the Rome-Floyd Fire Department having a loss of function due to getting wet during the height of the storm.
"Any loss of function or fuzziness in sound lasted just a few seconds and was very minor," Assistant County Manager Noah Simon said. "They never lost complete communication with other personnel."
Simon said that the special dust covers on the radios make them virtually waterproof but that these have to be removed in order to hook up hands-free headsets to them.
If operators do not replace the cover and water gets into a radio, there can be a problem.
Hancock said that of the recorded 8,400 push-to-talk calls made on the communication system during a three-hour period Monday evening, only the one report of muffled traffic for one transmission was made.
"We've got to continue training for all agencies," Simon said. "This system is very different from the old system and it will take time for people to become comfortable with it.
"Overall though, the system performed flawlessly."
The storm provided an example of how the new communication system provides its own uninterrupted power source when three of the towers lost power.
The on-site generators at each tower came on immediately and the people using the system had no indication that it happened.

The youth today celebrates Rose Day, Valentine's Day, Friendship Day and much more but the National Youth Day is barely given notice. "Youth life is the most precious life. Youth is the best time. The way in which you utilize this period will decide the nature of coming years that lie ahead of you," said the great philosopher Swami Vivekananda. As the nation celebrates the National Youth Day on 12 January, the birthday of Swami Vivekananda, it's time to draw inspiration and look at what the youth around the world can learn from his teachings.
What the youth can learn from youth icon Swami Vivekananda?
The youth is what a nation has, which will pave its path into the future. But, with the recent number of cases of crime such as rape, etc coming into light, it has certainly raised an alarm on what the youth of the nation is heading towards. In a sad state where rape by juveniles has become a trend, what is it that can draw them back on track? It must be inculcated in the people and the youth that women must be respected.
Swami Vivekananda said in his biography that "Americans look with veneration upon women, who play a most prominent part in their lives. Here this form of worship has attained its perfection — this is the long and short of it. I am almost at my wit's end to see the women of this country. They are Lakshmi, the Goddess of Fortune, in beauty, and Sarasvati, the Goddess of Learning, in virtues — they are the Divine Mother incarnate. If I can raise a thousand such Madonnas — incarnations of the Divine Mother — in our country before I die, I shall die in peace. Then only will our countrymen become worthy of their name."
He once had said "To all women every man save her husband should be as her son. To all men every woman save his own wife should be as his mother. When I look about me and see what you call gallantry, my soul is filled with disgust. Not until you learn to ignore the question of sex and to meet on a ground of common humanity will your women really develop. Until then they are playthings, nothing more."
The right direction to guide the youth from straying
In recent times the increasing crime rate by the juveniles in the country has alarmed the nation. It was noted that in 2011, around 34,000 criminals held were juvenile, which is a 10 percent jump from 2010.
The Government of India's was quoted saying "it was felt that the philosophy of Swamiji and the ideals for which he lived and worked could be a great source of inspiration for the Indian Youth."
Swami Vivekananda was a youth saint and is an example to the world with the teachings he shared. The youth can know and learn about his ideals, life and achievements.
A generation exposed to drug abuse calls for a savior!
Substance abuse is another trend seen among the youth, not just in India but around the world. It is seen that there is an increased number of minors addicted to drugs. Many of them use their money to buy cigarettes, tobacco, alcohol, and drugs.
Swami Vivekananda was once quoted saying "This wonderful period of the first state of your life is related to you as the soft wet clay in the hands of the potter. Skillfully the potter gives it the right and correct shapes and forms, which he intends to give. Even so, you can wisely mould your life, your character, your physical health and strength, in short your entire nature in any way in which you make up your mind to do. And you must do this now."
The final message
Rabindranath Tagore had said "If you want to know India, study Swami Vivekananda- in him everything is positive and nothing is negative." The message of the youth icon Swami Vivekananda would be to spread the message of positivity.
"You cannot teach a child any more than you can grow a plant. All you can do is on the negative side — you can only help. It is a manifestation from within; it develops its own nature — you can only take away obstructions," said the great philosopher.

The console is dead: The Socialisation of Gaming

If you live outside of Europe, you may be unfamiliar with the "EU Cookies" directive. It encourages websites to share in-depth details about the "cookies" they deposit on a user's machine when that user visits a website. These types of cookies are widely used by nearly all online services to help systems remember visitors and their preferences. They can be very useful at making a user's online experience more customized and personalized, but some people worry that consumers aren't being educated about the type of data that is collected when they visit a public site. The idea behind the directive is that sharing extensive details about these cookies will empower consumers to make more educated decisions about how much they want to participate on a particular site or service.
There may be a downside to this well-intentioned idea. Some say it will erode participation on sites by scaring Internet users into thinking that a site isn't safe if it displays intrusive messaging about data collection. No matter how you feel about it, if you're located in the European Union or the U.K., we want you to be able to point your members to a list of cookies that your Ning Network may use in day-to-day operations.
What is Ning doing?
We are publishing a list of the cookies we currently use, along with a short description of their respective functions. You'll find this list in the Help Center here. This a public list that anyone can access at any time. Please note that if you have installed third-party widgets or code not made by Ning, the providers of that code may use additional cookies, which won't be included in this list. It would be your responsibility to add those to this list.
What can you do?
Whether and how you make this information available to your members is entirely up to you. As an example, you may wish to:
If I'm not in Europe or the U.K., do I need to do anything?
If you're not located in Europe or the U.K., you'll probably find that this directive probably doesn't apply to you. If you feel strongly about this issue and want to display this cookie information on your site anyway, you can.
What if I have more questions?
We aren't able to provide you with specific legal advice, but we do want to point you to as many outside resources as we can that can help you decide if and how you display any EU Cookie information on your own Ning Network. Here are some good resources that can help explain more of the details of this EU Directive:

Thanks Eric, Ning and SweetPotato.
This is the kind of stuff that can drop off your radar (one for the Spanish air traffic controllers) as an NC because it's a pain and I really appreciate the efforts made by Ning (ok, it's in their interest but anyway), SweetPotato and anyone else who's going to add anything here.
Research time and sound foundations help you sleep better. Medically proven. I think.
Eric: Very helpful for EU-based NCs to try their best to comply with the web/personal data laws of our area! Thx Ning for being aware of non-US based NCs in countries that are very likely to be stricter.
Speaking about EU personal data regulations for EU-based NCs, may I add a highly important related topic concerning the Safe Harbour compliance for EU-based NCs?
Not that I'm a legal expert, but from my experience of it and what I've learnt, here's the "synthesis":
Any EU-based website owner must comply with EU personal data collection regulations named "Safe Harbour". As far as you're using EU-based service providers to operate your site where personal data of your members are technologically transferred, everthing's fine, you're abiding by the law (whether you know it or not!).
BUT when using non EU-based service providers, that's where things matter: you're being considered as transferring personal data abroad which is very strictly regulated in EU. In such a case, unless your service provider has been EU Safe Harbour certified, you have to get a specific authorization from the regulation authorities of your country...At least, this is how it works in France with the very famous CNIL of ours. Happily for us, EU-based NCs, NING HAS BEEN EU SAFE HARBOUR CERTIFIED since early 2011! Thanks Ning guys for thinking outside of the box/outside of the US framework :-)
That info is not really easy to find either by contacting your teams or on this site. I spent a few stressful boring hours digging into legal info and Ning huge amount of info to get to the happy conclusion I was no offender and could keep using Ning on the long term. Which is why I'm permitting myself that long (but hopefully useful) post to link Ning's EU Safe Harbour certification.
Sorry for the very long post, hope it will help you get the right tools to abide by the law and run your site on Ning in a safe and lasting way :-)
Thanks for your reply, Vanessa! I'm sorry that it was so difficult to find info about our EU Safe Harbor certification. I just wanted to let you know that you can also refer and point people to our Privacy Policy, which mentions our compliance with the EU Safe Harbor framework.
Greetings all I am new to your group here, though a creator since 2009 with my family and our team. Thank you for the information on this Eric, and all the changes I have experience the few years are all getting better and better!
what means 'encourages ' ? if there is no legal requirement, i will not bother my pensioners with cookies
they cant even understand how to send a message and asking why the comments are visible to all (off topic- sorry)

The field of study is the basic building block of the Fletcher curriculum. These areas of specialization or concentration are the school's "depth" requirement. Fields enable you to develop a specific set of skills related to a functional topic or geographic area. Field requirements are often completed by taking courses in more than one division of our three divisions.
Note: A course may be counted for credit in only one field. In those cases where a course is listed in more than one field, the student may choose the field in which it is to be credited. Courses, however, may be used to meet both divisional and field requirements simultaneously. Each field of study must consist of at least 3 course credits and, in some cases, at least 4.5 credits.
* These are the most commonly chosen major fields of study at the PhD level. Note: As you review each Field of Study listed above, you will see posted on each of the Field's Academic tabs the "Key" which associates each of the graphic icons with the courses that are required, optional, as well as not offered in the 2012-2013 academic year.
All MIB students must complete one international business field and one international affairs field (from the list above, excluding International Business Relations). To fulfill an international business field, students must complete three course credits in a single field. Each field has one required class and two electives. Upon petition, MALD candidates may complete one of the International Business Fields but in doing so may not offer International Business Relations as their second field of study.

Paranormal Haven was started in 2009 by 2 friends who share a love of reading, movies, eating, and a slight coffee addiction. We post reviews, interviews, guest posts, and giveaways from paranormal romance, urban fantasy and like genres, as well as romantic suspense and contemporary romance.
Thursday, May 24, 2012
Answer some questions and you could win a $20 gift card!
Paranormal Haven is now on Twitter! We tried doing this a couple years back when we first started our blog but we didn't really care for it so it never went anywhere. We thought we'd give it one more try and this time we're really going to put forth the effort to make it work and we'd love some advice.
For bloggers who use Twitter, what is the best way to use Twitter to help our blog grow? For the non-bloggers, what are some tricks to using Twitter? What about commenting? Can we comment on any one's conservation we're following or should we keep our opinions to ourselves unless specifically asked? Do we ask permission to retweet something we enjoy or think our followers will like being made aware of? How often should we be posting? Any information you can give would be extremely helpful!
On a separate note, what time during the day do you like to visit blogs? Kind of an odd question but we're interested because we want to make sure we're posting our content at a time that it will receive the most viewer ship. If you decide to leave us this information, please let us know what time zone, country or state you're in.
As a thank you for answering some of our questions (and following us @paranormalhaven), we are offering up a $20 electronic gift card from the winner's choice of either Amazon or Barnes and Noble. Giveaway ends on June 5th and is open internationally.

I have horrible twitterquette. I should use it for networking more than I do. I can't really answer any of your questions. I really don't know the answers. As for retweeting, I just RT what I like and think my followers may be interested in. I never thought to ask before I did it, no one has ever been upset by me doing so either.
- May 24, 2012 at 1:19 PM
- Felicia the Geeky Blogger said...
I don't really use it for netowrking other than I follow people to get info LOL :) I personally just use it to connect and meet people. I like Nessa--I do RT certain things (I tend to limit those to 10 a day) and the rest is just bookish/entertainment talk!

- Melissa (Books and Things) said...
I RT, but don't ask permission. It's a public forum and anything on there is public. I guess that is the extent of my advice. Yep, I know... not quite worth 2 cents. ;D

I think you should use Twitter in whatever way feels comfortable for you. For myself, I don't post constantly, just when I think of something I want to say or something I'd like to share and I post pictures the same way. I don't think commenting on anyone's conversation is a problem, it is a public forum and that's what it's for. You can take part in some great conversations that way. I certainly don't ask permission to retweet anything that strikes my fancy, and no one has ever asked my permission to retweet me. :D

I'm not too bothered either way, i just disregard posts if I'm not interested in the subject.

Welcome back to Twitterverse :)
I usually don't jump into anyone's conversation if I don't know them a little or haven't shared a few tweets with them in the past, but it also really depends on the topic. If it's personal I leave it alone. If it's more random then I'd say you can jump in and share. No one I know has ever asked, nor has anyone ever been upset about a Retweet. So feel free to retweet to your hearts content. You can post as often as you feel up to it. If you have the time to send one off, do it. Just be prepared that it may get overlooked. I know I can't catch every single tweet from people/blogs I follow. For bloggers I think it's more of an extra aid to spread the word about a contest or a review or some other happening. It's supposed to be fun, so if you don't tweet 10x a day or even daily, I don't think anyone will be upset. Actually, some bloggers post almost every 5 minutes which is hard to keep up with, especially while on the job. - May 25, 2012 at 12:01 AM

If one of mt tweets get RT I get excited that It was worth passing on. I enjoy twitter for a lot of reasons, what people are reading, book deals and seeing authors we love tweeting.
As far as your post, I vist blogs in the morning and what ever I miss I knw will be there the next day.

I followed you! I usually Tweet about new posts on my blog, I follow all the authors I like and have read, and many of the bloggers of the blogs I follow. I love talking to authors that way. And they often retweet my review tweets of their books, meaning more publicity for them, and more visitors for me :)
I retweet other bloggers review posts, or whatever I like. Retweeting is always appreciated. And if you interrups some persons, you just say something, sorry to interrupt, or convo intruder, somethink like that. Twitter is just meant for fun, so no one minds. And if they do, they should go talk on something not public :)
And did you know, authors sometimes have twitter contest where you can win an arc or book or swag :) I love those! - May 25, 2012 at 8:49 AM
- Aurian said...
PS do not feel obliged to follow everyone back who follows you! I sometimes get followed by the strangest persons and organisations. I just want book talk in my Twitter stream :)
The only conversations you will see, is from those you follow, and what they retweet. - May 25, 2012 at 8:50 AM
- Paranormal Haven said...
Thanks for all the great advice everyone!
Aurian - I was wondering about the following back rule. Thanks for mentioning that :-)

I'm pretty bad with twitter but I know that you can retweet (RT) anyone's post, especially if it is general and promotional. I've had people RT my contest posts and general ooh look what is going on here type of posts. Unlike blogs and facebook and places like that, twitter doesn't let you directly comment on a post. You can comment by tweeting on your own profile @ that person's user name but it never links directly to the conversation. So it is awkward to me. Maybe that's why I don't use it much.
- May 25, 2012 at 1:43 PM

I find blogs and FB to be my main source of information and have no time or inclination to use Twitter. I want to talk in complete sentences with correct punctuation. These things are sorely lacking with the next generation. My time zone is Eastern.
- May 25, 2012 at 1:44 PM
- StacyUFI said...
I tweet all my blog posts as well as use twitter as an option for tweets on all giveaways.
- May 25, 2012 at 1:47 PM
- Jackie Burris said...
I retweet bookish items, recipes that strike my fancy, authors good news they wish to share, pretty much anything that has a RT attached to it is okay to share.
As far as advice like others before me just use Twitter as you see fit. Making connections via blog posts auto tweeting, retweeting your friends and authors tweets that are relevant to what you enjoy knowing more about, it is no hard and fast rule exactly. The only problem I have encountered is when set up my "tags" need to go back and take some off because some mighty strange "follows" have taken place from them. LOL - May 25, 2012 at 2:09 PM
- Brandileigh2003 (Blkosiners Book Blog) said...
I tweet all my blog posts. I don't ask permission to retweet. Usually if you tweet something, you hope that others will retweet.
I read blogs at random times of the day when I get a moment or two. Usually after 8pm - May 25, 2012 at 4:59 PM

- June M. said...
Reader only right now: Pretty much I just use Twitter for contest entries....there is just so much info there that there is no way I could keep up on it. I think most people are happy if you RT, it gets them more exposure cause it goes to all your followers too.

- Melliane said...
I was a little anxious about twitter at first. Didn't know how I could manage to write something interesting. But finally it's really great, when you start it's difficult to stop lol. I think it's always nice when someone RT, so I don't ask for permition either. Otherwise I confess It's a little more difficult for me to comment on others conversation. I do it sometimes but it's really rare.

- Marlene Harris said...
I tweet every post to my blog. I also retweet things that interest me, or that I think my readers might be interested in. I also try to reply to people who send me messages. But I don't jump into other people's conversations.
When I review a book, I do copy the author and the publisher. They usually retweet so it gets passed around their network of followers.

Yay to being on Twitter! I was hoping you would do this! I love to support the bloggers (I'm a non-blogger) by Tweeting or Re-tweeting their posts/giveaways/etc. The more it gets RT, hopefully the more traffic to your blog :-)
I really like it when bloggers tweet their blog posts because sometimes I see those sooner than waiting for the email to come through. That's the other way I follow blogs.
I never thought I would join Twitter, but I'm so glad I did. I've met some really great people on there, including bloggers & authors. It's great to interact with them!
I hope it goes well for you! - May 26, 2012 at 2:20 PM

I enjoy Twitter and quickly getting out info. The instant gratification of responses is especially fun. I use it to promote my daily blog happenings and remind people of my giveaways. I RT any book info that I think my followers would find enjoyable.
As to visiting blogs I do it in the evenings and weekends.

I don't twitter as much as I should. I post tweets about contests I like and links to my articles and jump in on conversations every once in a while.
I think it's fine to comment on a conversation you see going on because when someone asks a question, it's usually to everyone listening..right?
I retweet things I like and I've always gotten and thank you response for doing so, so I think people like it when you do that. I know I do.
I think Twitter is a great way to read posts you might not have found and I will sometimes tweet my blog posts when I think they are extra funny or something that others will like.
