People need time to slack off, and if someone slacks off when nothing matters, there is no reason to downgrade them for it. All work and no play makes Jack a psychotic killer. Or at least a wife beater. And very often two arenas are irrelevant to each other. I know incredibly organized slobs, and great writers who couldn't orate their way out of a paper bag. One of my stat profs is a genius at stat, but he can't teach.If someone is so shallow to judge me solely by first impressions, I don't really care what their judgement is, and I wouldn't want to work for them.You are betraying your inexperience here. The first thing I learned as a freelance writer is that each editor is different, and you have to learn their quirks and write differently for each one. So a good writer isn't even going to produce the same work for two seperate publishers. And if you can demonstrate a statistical between casual writing and professional writing, fine. But I don't see any such thing. As for professional message boards, well, THEY'RE PROFESSIONAL! Of course the quality of writing is different. Editors are watching those boards and the posters know it. No one here is looking to hire me for my writing skills. And if they are (like the 'and' at the beginning of the sentence?) I'm not interested.Sure you can. Because they are doing exactly what is necessary for a message board. They are communicating so that others can understand them. Furthermore, writing has nothing has nothing to do with character. How well you writing is not a moral issue, and trying to equate bad grammar on a message board with torturing animals, you are just showing how little reason there is in your argumentation.I should have clarified that. I meant grades that matter. Your "grade" is not going to affect me recieving my masters degree, so it is irrelevant. I have never defended incompetence, I am defending those who competently post on message boards, and who you would hold to an absurd standard. Think about it, you are demanding professional behavior from nonprofessionals in a nonprofesssional forum. I would also like to point out that you are not grading me on my skills, but rather my content.I bet I made some typos above, and I didn't correct them. It's not going to kill me, or anyone else who reads my posts.BTW, is hyperbole good writing where you come from?</blockquote>
