Language Barrier, Blogging Style

May 19, 2015 Tony Burgess 7 Comments

When a blogger from another country who writes in a different language decides to follow your blog it can be a tricky situation. There is an obvious language barrier there and you wonder why they might be following along. Maybe its to help them learn your language or for other reasons. Seeing their blog written in their primary language can be interesting.

Some things you can figure out if they are written in certain languages while other blogs are written in completely different characters like Cyrillic, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Hindi etc. They can be fascinating to look at even though you can’t read a thing.

Yes there are translation tools online but I am not certain they are 100% reliable. I welcome people from all walks of life but I just hope there is some understanding there. Building bridges of communication is always better than burning them if you ask me.

Back To Work, It’s Going To Be A Long One

May 19, 2015 Tony Burgess 1 Comment

After a Monday off I am back to work on Tuesday. My schedule at work is going to be different over the next 4 days which is no big deal. It will include two 12 hour days but I will make it through. It’s good to shake things up every now and then. Let’s go to work. Have a great day everyone.

The Bachelor/Bachelorette

I have never understood the point of these shows. Why do really good looking people need help in funding a mate? Most of these people are well off and have great social connections. They should have little trouble in this area. Some of these people are cray cray though. I’m just saying. Roses aren’t needed.

Comments On Topic, It’s A Good thing

May 18, 2015 Tony Burgess 2 Comments

It is important to comment on a blog post because it gives the author/writer some great feedback that can guide their future work. However if your comment is not one of greeting or related to the topic being discussed in then perhaps one should just get offline and do something else with your time. Comments on the posts topic is a sign you are paying attention. None of you who follow me do that but there are spammers who like to do that sort of thing. Keeping on point is a wonderful thing though.
