The story is told of the man who approached a fish market. There was a huge sign on the front of the building that read; “Fresh fish for sale here today”. The guy told the owner he needed to change the wording on the sign.
You don’t need the word “Fresh,” because if it’s not fresh they will know it and not buy it.
You really don’t need the word “Fish”, as everyone can smell you a mile away.
“For Sale”? Come on, they know you’re not giving it away!
Why are you using the word “here”, because they know you are not somewhere else?
“Today”? It’s not yesterday, or tomorrow. Come to think of it, you really don’t need a sign!
Fresh Fish you blog…choose your words carefully and skillfully. Be stingy with words…use them sparingly.

Yes I agree but some of us are new and we hope here at WA is a learning place where we are trained.

I agree, Joe! Whenever I see something with poor grammar/spelling, I don't consider it worth while to read.
All of us make mistakes, now and then. However, when presenting an article for the world to read, we need to be sure that it is well written. For those who feel they are not capable to produce quality content (in that respect), there are other avenues they can look at for assistance.
I normally notice mistakes, having been a legal assistant for many years. So, I hope there aren't any here, with what I've written. : )
Thank you for this post that has brought attention to this matter … in creating well-written articles for our websites!
Blessings,
