I’m a retired editor. If there’s one thing I would like to teach all FReepers, it’s a few basic rules for clear communications.
And I don’t mean nitpicky grammar rules. I couldn’t tell an infinitive from a gerund. But the secret to effective writing is the voice inside your head — if it sounds right, it probably is right.
As long as all the words are spelled correctly, that is. I cut nobody an inch of slack on spelling, especially with all these computer-aided whirligigs we have on the Internet, whether we want them or not.
