Just listen to the reporters and commentators on television.<br /><br />Of course, often English teachers teach only literature, not grammar and not writing. Our young people, and some older folks, read garbage (and I'm not talking about content) and think it's great writing because they don't know the difference.

Without that solid background the story can lose the reader at the first paragraph.Ginger*:)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14970160779830842600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925401174378785919.post-3158105490465537622013-05-14T00:39:42.624-05:002013-05-14T00:39:42.624-05:00I completely agree.

When speaking to someone new, someone I don't have the luxury of knowing any background on, I automatically judge their intelligence by how well they speak, same with the written word.<br /><br />I assume the majority of society judges the same way.Aidana WillowRavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457009991712387399noreply@blogger.com
