I hereby apologies to those “Literate People” (Members of Literacy Base) who find something like 10 “likes’ in their notification each day regularly without expecting them doing the same for me. Unfortunately, I would be losing my job if I write a comment on all the posts I visit your work when I am in my office or among my trainees in the morning hours. LOL 🙂
Let me admit, sometimes I get bored on the sites I work for and feel the need of someone to start a topic with lot of conversation and I will reply. I must also admit that some of my great friends here and on other sites that I don’t see active on Literacy Base were really good at art of conversation. I hope they will join this site as the options are reducing fast.
I am sick of being looked at like I am dirt because I don’t get much time to write a comment on every post, every blog or every update that I go and ‘like’. This is for the blogger who posted about serial liker and their inability to cope with my ‘likes’ is understandable especially while some of them use mobile phones.
It just doesn’t mean you have got to do your homework that will make me interested to write a comment on your post. I always write one on all such posts. Also, you have got to be better than some of the drivel that appears in some of the posts that I go and ‘like’, nothing like that but I am just short on time. Sure, there is no denial, not having enough time to write a comment on every post is pretty much my loss.
I’m a bit confused today over the use of ‘Likes‘, no it’s is not the ‘Likes’ we generally do when we like something on Facebook or on other sites that have this option. My point is how you like someone would say ‘Like’ like the one I heard at the restaurant today during our visit to the supermarket. Hey guys do you really like it?
Sometimes it is great eating out and discovering wonderful things. We did not laugh when we heard a person say three times over “there is like, three seats there” – unless there is something that only resembles three seats, I don’t see necessity in using the word “like” to describe them. I wanted to laugh though but I stopped and limited my activity to smile.

I hope to see more and more members interacting with each other. Interactions are a key factor in the growth of a site.
I am sure we are going to flood the place sooner than later :)
I can certainly see why you would be frustrated! It's one thing for another user to be dismayed at not getting enough comments. But it's another altogether when a person begins criticizing fellow writers.
I agree with you. I keep my suggestions with me unless asked for!
Interaction is the ultimate in every active site. It motivates, and sends signal to the author on the way he/she did and they way he needs to improve. It's a good thing to adopt!
I do not look at whose post it is. I comment when I feel I have something to contribute.
Yes, I like your title Literacy and literate people of the whole world because illiteracy is curse o earth. But The government of every country does not want to literate people because if they get education how they will rule them. I talk about my own country where no attention is paid to literacy and schools.
Educated means you have gone through some form of supposedly rigorous instruction.
Literate means you know how to read (both functionally and critically) and presumably that you are at least moderately well read.
Can an individual be one of these things without being the other? Of course. Practically tough, this is rather uncommon.
In prior eras these distinctions were much more meaningful when schooling was not compulsory. Nowadays, most people's literacy is developed through school.
It sounds like the quote your referencing is probably being used to either disparage someone by implying he or she is either uneducated or illiterate because he or she is either educated or literate.
People that throw around such cliches are usually trying to win some type of argument they are having a difficult time with. So instead of debating the merits and flaws of the argument, they choose to attack the qualifications of the person they're arguing against. These days, depending upon who you're arguing with, being educated can either support or undermine you in some people's eyes.
Yes comment are good but a lot of people do not have the
time to comment all the time.
