The Three Cs

There’s been a lot of focus as of late on the three Rs in British education. What’s the point of a kid leaving school with excellent qualifications in art and media studies if they can barely string a sentence together and balance a cheque-book? The three Rs are basic skills that every school-leaver should possess.

I can see a similar inadequacy in the blogging realm. Naturally, every blogger should possess the three Rs, but they should also possess the three Cs – the ability to carefully choose their words (because words are powerful things); the ability to express their thoughts in a candid manner (because political correctness is despicable); and the ability to keep their blog posts concise (because their readers’ time is valuable).
