[Half Vast Conspiracy]

This is some of the poorest writing I’ve seen in a while. You deserve a B+....if you are in the 4th grade.

In navysealdad's defense: The writer strives to communicate important ideas, and IDEAS are much more important than the medium that delivers them, the same way that a cargo of food is much more important than the ship that delivers it.

Yet, the arrogant or lazy writer wrongly thinks the ideas are so much more important than rules of grammar, spelling, and punctuation, that the latter are merely arbitrary troublesome formalities.

The writer -- whoever it is -- NEEDS TO:

a) peruse and always keep close at hand a copy of Strunk & White's "The Elements of Style"

b) live by the rule, When in doubt, look it up.

As a person who makes a living by the written word, I make LOTS of typos and errors in my FR posts because this is recreation, not work. Therefore I am very forgiving of typos and errors in most FR posts. The only time I feel the urge to say something is when I get the sense that the writer is making these mistakes not just accidentally or because of haste, but rather because on a deeper level, the writer lacks respect for the reader and for the language. If you want to connect with readers, you must FIRST respect them.
