Postmodern and Electronic Tyrant Readers
Writing and participating in posting threads and posts in the electronic hyperspace forums has become widespread and much discussed phenomena, though engaging in such writings, it does not go without some prizes we as writers have to pay, for instance, we have to bear the consequence of how our writings are going to be manipulated and interpreted by readers according to their own limited schema, since we are trying to reach the satisfaction of our vast worldwide audiences, yet have different cultural as well as vary backgrounds knowledge. In that, I would tell you frankly that it is not only a very tough task a person can ever get himself into, but the most troublesome business.
Spooner in this regard stated that, "maybe we should acknowledge that in the postmodern age, the reader, not the writer, is the real tyrant: multi-tasking, channel-surfing, capricious and fickle, free to interpret, misread, manipulate, and (horrors) apply. We're all guilty; we start at the end, in the middle, we don't finish, we joyously juxtapose bits of what we read with other readings, other experiences. But the point is that this is our most natural process. Both reader and writer are engaged constantly in making knowledge from a very random world'. (274)
Can our words be perceived the way they meant for? No one can guarantee you this, since each individual automatically internalizes information and places them in different categories in his/her mind in which it is hard for you to know where each single person placed the desired information that goes with what you really approach...Moreover some readers have no storages or categories for certain information, because they have no MONITOR for it ( when you have a monitor it means that you are not selective in your reading, in fact, you try to read and comprehend to gain more knowledge about any information your eyes caught) this can be because such readers (with no monitor) automatically delete such information in which their long and working memories are standstill empty of such information...So those who unfortunately lack these monitors, will very often misunderstand (disabuse) the point of the messages that embedded in writings.
Do you agree with this information :mad:
Since I am new here, I would like to know whether if this kind of information will be of any use to you, or you think you have certain rules in which we must follow :D ?

Re: Do you agree with this idea...?
Simpler is usually better. Let's start with the title.
- Postmodern and Electronic Tyrant Readers
What is your essay about? Internet forums, right? I suggest changing the title to something the reader will be able to understand more easily.
First paragraph.
- Writing and participating in posting threads and posts in the electronic hyperspace forums has become widespread and much discussed phenomena,
Internet forums have become widespread and much-discussed phenomena.
- though engaging in such writings, it does not go without some prizes we as writers have to pay, for instance, we have to bear the consequence of how our writings are going to be manipulated and interpreted by readers according to their own limited schema, since we are trying to reach the satisfaction of our vast worldwide audiences, yet have different cultural as well as vary backgrounds knowledge.
It is difficult for me to know what the writer is trying to say. I suggest that you rewrite that using simpler language. I am not at all sure what "it does not go without some prizes" means. I'm not sure how schema fits there, but that is not a word I am familiar with anyhow. I don't think satisfaction fits at all. Certainly, in these cyber communities people of varied cultural backgrounds talk to and learn from each other when otherwise they would have never met.
You need to work on those run-on sentences.
- In that, I would tell you frankly that it is not only a very tough task a person can ever get himself into, but the most troublesome business.
You don't need "I would tell you frankly", as it is superfluous. Why is posting on Internet forums a troublesome business?
- Spooner in this regard stated that, "maybe we should acknowledge that in the postmodern age, the reader, not the writer, is the real tyrant: multi-tasking, channel-surfing, capricious and fickle, free to interpret, misread, manipulate, and (horrors) apply. We're all guilty; we start at the end, in the middle, we don't finish, we joyously juxtapose bits of what we read with other readings, other experiences. But the point is that this is our most natural process. Both reader and writer are engaged constantly in making knowledge from a very random world'. (274)
You need to use the same kind of quote marks at the end of the quotation as you do at the beginning. What are your own words? (I don't know who Spooner is, but I disagree that we make knowledge. We acquire knowledge.)
- Can our words be perceived the way they meant for?
Can our words be perceived the way we mean them to be perceived?
Do you really want to use can there?
- No one can guarantee you this, since each individual automatically internalizes information and places them in different categories in his/her mind
Replace them with it.
- in which it is hard for you to know where each single person placed the desired information that goes with what you really approach...Moreover some readers have no storages or categories for certain information, because they have no MONITOR for it ( when you have a monitor it means that you are not selective in your reading, in fact, you try to read and comprehend to gain more knowledge about any information your eyes caught) this can be because such readers (with no monitor) automatically delete such information in which their long and working memories are standstill empty of such information...So those who unfortunately lack these monitors, will very often misunderstand (disabuse) the point of the messages that embedded in writings.
I am not sure whether you think a monitor is a good thing or a bad thing or even what it is. I suggest that you shorten your sentences and that you work to achieve greater clarity.
