ADVICE FROM PAPA – VIDEO 14 – Tips For Newer Users on Steemit

in help •  7 years ago 

The tone of the text?


Unfortunately, when we type, our readers cannot hear our tone. Sure, on some occasions this can be a blessing, but often it can lead to problems. You may type something as a joke and the recipient may take you seriously. You may give a genuine compliment and the reader may interpret it as being sarcastic. How can we deal with this issue?

Additionally, we are dealing with a global community, where many users may have a different native tongue than we do. When we try to interact in languages that are not our primary language, we may not always use the correct words, put them in the proper order, or spell them correctly. When we see posts or comments that are not exactly written properly, it may not be in our best interest to point out every inaccuracy, especially if we cannot do so in a gentle and loving way.

Small typing failures are easilly made i guess.. specially when you are not a native speaker..

As always, Great video and explanation papa-pepper.

Thank you very much.

@papa-pepper has any said you sound a lot like , this dude??

Not prior to now, but I can't figure out how to hear the audio... still not sure what he actually sounds like, but the subtitle is working, so at least he is positive.

Sorry there is no audio - But he has been in a lot of movies John C. Reilly : Guardians of the Galaxy - Step-Brothers - Wreck it Ralph - Never Been Kissed ( funny guy )

Thanks @royalmacro! Although I'm not sure what I could cover next...

You're welcome!

the pleasure is mine

;-)

I like your chain :)

I hear that a lot some days! Thank you. It was my Christmas gift to myself last year and one day I will pass it on to my oldest son, Monster-Truck the Pepper!

I finally, after months of begging, got my sister to sign up here. First place I told her to go was your videos. You da man!

STEEM ON!!

LOL, NOW is the best time to join for those who did not join before!

Excellent work! (I'm sure your success helped to encourage her)

Great video papa I know what you mean I am Afrikaans and takes me a while to get my thoughts in to English and then type them .Keep them coming !!!

I wouldn't have guessed from our interactions, so you are doing pretty good!

Keep it up @louiscpt!

Baie Dankie !!

:D

@papa-paper, i will be always follow you.
i like this every your post.

Gkad to hear it. Thank you @foways.

Great advice as usual, this advice will go a long way towards preventing future "Flag Wars" , something I hope to never get involved in. Even having your own personal "babelfish" which allows interpretation of the words, but not the tone, and/or body language.

Just great stuff here. Much can be gleaned from this vlog, and worth repeated viewings, thanks again @suziescorner and @papa-pepper
@papa-pepper, this reminds me of a story hopefully I'll get it done and posted.


Proverbs 13:18
Poverty and shame will come to him who disdains correction,
But he who regards a rebuke will be honored.

My native language is not English, but I always try to do my posts without spelling or grammar mistakes.

Very good efforts @janop!

Yes, we should never be beyond being willing to take instruction and correction. Thank you @sighmanjestah!

Top knotch advice as always papa-pepper. The down to earth explanations and positive energy vibe you always put out is the most helpful tool a person could find here in the steemit community. You know nothing but praise always from the work your doing on here and the positive life you and your family put out. ups all day everyday

HEY @PAPA-PEPPER, I'M NOT MAD AT YOU!

Very interesting point of view. Thank you

I've seen this situation arise a lot and often it did not work out so well. Hopefully this will help.

The wisdom is to understand and take to heart the lesson. I like your post. I am polish girl living in US and despite this I still need to try as hard as I can because my mother language is my own. You welcome to check my blog and see yourself 😁🤗😊
Have a great day - Milego dnia - translation
