Grammer
It seems to me that if the fundamental purpose of writing is to communicate,
then one should certainly be aware of exactly what he's communicating. Poor
grammar usually communicates the idea, whether true or not, that the writer is
stupid and uneducated.
On the other hand, William Faulkner, who had awesome powers of communication,
probably broke every rule of grammar ever made plus a few of his own invention;
he took two semesters of English at Old Miss and made a D the first semester
and an F the last.
While I doubt many of us want to post feeling there's an axe over our heads, most
of us could doubtless do better. Maybe it's not too important here, though I have
to say sometimes posts are hard to understand_ but when you're putting out
written material trying to convince prospective clients you're God's Gift, poor
grammar will interfere mightily with that message.
