It doesn't take a PhD

Description

One of my main purposes of making this was to try out my new stamp template. All things considered, I believe things worked out pretty well.

As for the stamp - I'll admit that people can get a little picky when it comes to spelling. Normally, I don't make a big deal about it, but there are exceptions to that rule. The biggest one is in making stamps. If you're trying to get an important message across in your stamp, people are far less likely to take your point seriously if every other word is spelled incorrectly. It may not be fair or right, but it is a fact that cannot be avoided. (The same thing can be said about grammar; I have a similar stamp about that.)

I realize that for some people, English is not your first language. But the fact that you are here on DeviantArt posting in English, interacting in English, and commenting in English reveals that you have some knowledge of the English language, or at the very least - access to an English translator.

For those of you who do speak English as your primary language, remember what I've said. Of course, you aren't under any obligation to exercise proper spelling/grammar. But you will go much further if you do. If you're going to take all that time to make a stamp, take the extra two seconds to type the word into your word processor or Firefox to check the spelling.

Edit: I thought this stamp turned out very good, but I have to admit I had no idea it would become so popular. I really don't know how that happened, but thank you to everyone who has faved or commented.
