The importance of review

There una parola che quarant'anni fa scivolava nei grembiuli scolastici e rimbalzava sui banchi color acquamarina, e alla fine s'è conficcata nelle nostre teste: "rileggere". Le maestre c'insegnavano a scrivere, ci chiedevano di leggere, ma c'imponevano di rileggere. Oggi pochi rileggono. I bambini d'allora, conquistata una tastiera e un'indirizzo email, ritengono che la velocità e la quantità siano così importanti da dover sacrificare tutto: anche la decenza e la chiarezza.Se ricevo Ho le5ttom le sua propsost3 sul Corrierere circala vipelenza nel calcio e sono sinceramente stpito dal suo punto di vista. Ma chi credere di essere? maria Montesori o mandrake? Mi chiedo: il mittente ha bevuto tre vodka, prima di mettersi al computer? O invece was the victim of a violent attack and gastrointestinal, while receding howling to the bathroom, dropped the index finger on the Send button? Otherwise - I hope, I think, I hope - would reread and correct. The opinion would have been irritating, but at least I understood immediately. I read his proposals in the Corriere about violence in football, and I am genuinely surprised by his views. But those who think he is? Maria Montessori or Mandrake? To fix this text takes forty seconds. The sender obviously had better things to do. The non-reading has consequences. It 's rare that makes the text incomprehensible, but it is clear that makes it sloppy. A mistake can be the result of distraction, two of the rush, three a particular moment (tough love, bad digestion). Five errors are evidence of an email indifference: how to present yourself in public with the socks with holes (probably, the World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz is one that reads the email). I know what you're thinking, and text messages, then? Ke do you know? 6 div.to idiot? Kiama kiss kiss. A fifteen-than messages spelled impeccable never find the girl, this seems like a sufficient reason to grant a dispensation.

But emails of today are the letters in the past: instruments adults now.

It dispatched more, of course, but this is not a sufficient reason to throw rubbish in the cyberspazio, e far finta di niente.
