Help[Opinions] Re: No nickname preferred

I agree
There is truth that I hate being called "Barb" because I despise this particular short-form; however, I won't correct folks any longer. If someone calls me "Barb" - or more importantly, refers to me as Barb, I won't correct them, as I do not want to seem that self-conscious. If I "know what someone means" or "that the person refers, or is referring, to me, then I understand.
Same is true with grammar. If I understand the thought, I won't correct a Grammatical Error. That to me would seem snobbish, as though I were trying to show that I know something that another person does not, which is not so. I have difficulty seeing so I may commit more errors than I know. Also - I am trying to wean away from formal writing on this board. I hope folks will be patient with me - and forgive me from my own pretensions.
