Usually I read every day the news from &#8220;Dnevnik&#8221;, some times from ZaGrada, whatever I get from friends over IM from some sites and the stuff from swamp.ludost.net, and for the moment my observations are that the blogs (or at least the ones I read) are the most literate.<br \/>\n(all of this is related to online publications, I don&#8217;t read newspapers on paper)<\/p>\n<p>In &#8220;Dnevnik&#8221; I regularly find spelling or typographic mistakes, some times even in the headlines &#8211; I&#8217;m tired of noting in the comments stuff that the elementary spell checker will catch. Everyone who reads a bit more is annoyed by stuff like this &#8211; mostly because this kills the speed of reading.<br \/>\n(also, &#8220;Capital&#8221; doesn&#8217;t have that problem, but they have a week to make the issue :) )<\/p>\n<p>In ZaGrada I haven&#8217;t seen so much mistakes, but there the articles are less, and I&#8217;m not that regular there &#8211; but it seems better, they might want to help &#8220;Dnevnik&#8221; a bit.<\/p>\n<p>From some other sites (news.bg, etc.) I read rarely anything and haven&#8217;t seen a lot of errors, but their lacking content is the main problem, and the designs sucks (the previous ones have a passable one). <\/p>\n<p>In the swamp there seems to be one blog (Marian Marinov, whom I&#8217;ll install spell checker personally one day and will set it in a way that prevents him from posting with errors, and maybe I&#8217;ll find his first grade teacher, give her a bir stick and have her re-teach him) who has trouble with spelling, and I&#8217;ve maybe caught about 10 postings with errors in the spelling (like one of Eneya, when she was in a big hurry)- the rest is fine, even the crap with &#8220;\u0419&#8221; is not easily found.<\/p>\n<p>In short&#8230; People, there are free spell checkers, please install one and use it &#8211; I always check my stuff, I&#8217;ve found some pretty stupid mistakes of my own. This way you won&#8217;t look like idiots and will make the reading of your stuff easier for the people on the other side :)<\/p>\n<p>(on the topic of style errors I might write something when I learn not to make them myself :) )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So it&#8217;s the 24th of May (or it was about two hours ago)&#8230; I&#8217;m starting to note the level of literacy online.
