Yes, my first thought when reading that was how my first creative writing teacher in high school would have red-marked the heck out of that. I don't even like to think what the oft-published profs I had in college would have done.

And I haven't been "a professional writer all my professional life." ;-)

Here's a hint, professor: FR ain't the SATs, and you can rest assured I don't have the same standards for posting here as I do with the stuff I do professionally. M'kay?
