Help me improve my writing skills?!

Post 166387 by ptsampras14 deleted for the following reason: this is way too much "do my homework" filter and not at all enough "I have a problem to solve" AskMe isn't really for getting writing critiques. -- jessamyn

Did you retouch ur kid's high school photos?

Post 165637 by SarahWriter deleted for the following reason: you can't use AskMe as a sort of craigslistish "give me material for my article" tool. Help finding resources, sure. Polling the audience, not really what AskMe is for. -- jessamyn

Notobvious things you shouldn't say to men

Post 165337 by Knigel deleted for the following reason: Honestly, the thread this is copycatting was reaaallly borderline and chatty in the first place and a huge pain in the ass to moderate; doing it again for a reflexive now-switch-the-gender sequel seems like not a great idea. -- cortex

What do you feel about Europe?

Post 164765 by avysk deleted for the following reason: Sorry, "because my son's teacher said to" doesn't really qualify as the sort of problem-to-be-solved that makes chatfilter not chatfilter. Generally bullet-point poll stuff really isn't a good fit for askme. -- cortex
