not to discriminate against grammatically challenged people or anything,
but this is a good idea. if it is your job to write, you should at least
be able to spell and use punctuation.
is that so much to ask?

Le Temps plans to fine journalists nearly three dollars for each mistake - whether it is an incorrectly spelled place name, a badly constructed sentence or missing punctuation.So who still says Switzerland is a free country?
