What is it? : A review of Tom's lame question of the week.
Technical Quality: None.
Innovative Quality: Almost none. Nothing here that is interesting or
innovative. The use of Tom's brain is below par, but that isn't anything
new.
Review: Once again, Tom has made a fool of himself.
The questions that he asks are lame and no one even wants to win his prize
that consist of Tom making his best effort to perform music. Tom has
repeatedly been asked to provide cites for his answers, but as usual, Tom is
too arrogant to provide references to his answers. Or is it that Tom knows
that it's rare that anyone would take the time to submit an answer, so would
they even look at his answer to make sure that he is correct?
Did Tom even graduate high school, or for that matter, even attend school at
all? For someone that is an "editor" of his own "e-zine", Tom does not
provide any indication of even a hint of having a working knowledge of the
English language and/or grammar. This makes, what could be a professional
looking and written "e-zine", look more like a report that my soon to be 5th
grade son would write. It's a shame that my 10 year old son has a better
grasp of the English language and grammar that an "editor".
Tom has made it obvious that his PC does not contain a spell check program
and that he doesn't even bother to proof read any of his post. (See quotes
below) Tom, a spell check program is normally provided with Windows,
assuming you are using a Windows based PC. If not, there are plenty of free
spell check programs available at just about any of the shareware sites on
the internet.

Overall Grade: 00.4 out of 10.0 (notice that is .4 and not 4.0)
Grading system: 9-10 Highest grade - Life's work of
a master (ex. Collected plays of Shakespeare, collected
symphonies of Beethoven) 8-9 Single best work of a
celebrated master's career. 7-8. Best work of an era or
genre or decade. 6-7 Best work of the year. 5-6 Very
good. 4-5 More good than bad. 3-4 Average amount
of good = amount of bad. 2-3 Mostly bad with some
redeeming parts. 1-2 Nothing redeemable. 0-1 So bad
it is offensively bad and outrages the reviewere [sic] for
taking up that time in his life - just awful.
I will guarantee a review for all art work in any
conceivable field IF I feel like doing one. I won't even charge the lousy $3
that Tom charges.
Now, below, I have highlighted some of the amateur mistakes that Tom makes
as the editor of his own "e-zine"...

Hmmm... Looked at 3 online dictionaries
(http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=67&q=realtion ,
http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=realtion&x=20&y=11 and
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/realtion ). None of them have a listing for
"realtion". Are you trying to impress us by making up your own words?

"fair"????? Oh, and just where did your quote start? I see the end, but not
the beginning.
