OT grammar
But I do grow weary of the people who argue that "thru" is a legit word, or that most nouns should be capitalized, or that plurals need apostrophes, or that passive voice is somehow more "proper" and erudite, etc.
Amazing what passes for erudition, isn't it? Sometimes the deluge of errors makes it hard to see what is supposedly being described.
It makes me busier than I'd like, correcting things written by those I'm assisting, so they don't look bad.
An artist recently criticized concern about spelling and grammar as a preference for form over substance. I was amazed. Here is a person whose background in advertising should have made him keenly aware of the value of giving people a digestible message, and he was supporting a level of error that actually distracted recipients' attention from the message in order to reprocess input into something intelligible. Exactly how much of a reader's attention should be lost to sorting out typos before it's worth typing right in the first place?
Nuts.
And yes, lots of professionals are really bad at communicating in writing.
Take care,
