WildflowerMom Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I can't vent about this to anyone but dh and he's doing colonoscopy prep, so y'all have to hear it, lol. Please JAWM. My cousin is running for city council in another town. His Facebook posts are horribly written. Grammar is awful. He has no clue when to use they're, their, and there. He just uses them interchangeably from what I can tell. He capitalizes random words throughout each sentence. Nearly every sentence has something wrong with it. I asked dh if I should offer nicely to help edit his writing, but dh says the citizens deserve to see what they're getting with him. Y'all, I cringe so bad when he posts. I think I'm going to unfollow him, but I hate to miss something because the family is 'liking' his posts as kind of a show of support. 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️ 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeAgain Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Oh, gosh, that's hard. I'd be tempted to help, too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith-manor Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Tat is very hard. But, I think you should be hands off. There is a lot of written communication that comes out of city council offices and not all of it comes through administrative assistants who edit heavily. It is best to let the people see that maybe he is not the person for the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildflowerMom Posted August 22, 2023 Author Share Posted August 22, 2023 Sigh. His latest post is fear mongering garbage. So, yeah, I'm going to unfollow. Glad I didn't offer to help now! 🤦🏻♀️ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Yikes. There are a few politicians here who randomly capitalize words in sentences, and it makes me cringe every time. I would have to unfollow and not see it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Unfollow him. If anyone asks, you can say “huh, that post didn’t show up in my feed” or “I must have missed that one” 😄 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 You could also snooze him for 30 days. I do that with a lot of people who get on my nerves. They pop back into my feed after the 30 days, I see that things haven't changed, or I see that something has happened that I'm glad to know about, and then usually just snooze them again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
