[Winona Online Democracy]

I was thrilled to read of the improvement in writing skills for Minnesota as
well as Winona. If you had seen my Opinion Page letter, I was rather
critical of the writing in the emails I receive to my web site.
http://www.luminet.net/~bkuhl/Dart.htm. The chances that any of those emails
are from Minnesota is rather slim, in fact I know one was from California.
It has also been brought to my attention that kids often think it is cute to
write like they are stupid to be funny. The danger with that is it could be
a permanent habit.

Here are some examples I have received:


Hello,  I am (name).  I am in TSA and i am in a rubberband powered
competition called flight endurance.   I am in high school and would like to
learn more about rubberband powered airplanes.  Before I was in this i began
flying the gaslione powered airplanes.  I really like both but the
rubberband powered is more a challenge and at a recent compition i did the
best ever in our school history but i did not win.  I flew a right flyer a
kit plane.   After seeing the other kids the one that won was his own
design.  I was wondering where i could get some plans on the internet?
Thank you for your time,



Hi all

The big day is almost here. only two more weeks till he SO competition in
Sacramento, this will be my 2an and last SO competition EVER!. My model is
doing pretty good, i get flights of 1:30 to 2:10 in a 25 foot gym. How ever
I think I can do better than that (hope atlist). I wonder if you guys can
help me improve my flight time, cause I don't really know what else i can
do. this is how my plane is built: (my own original design)

Am i missing something?


Hope you can help me, and thanks for your time.
