Many writers are afraid of grammar, I think Linda makes some very good points. Employers/ publishers/professors seldom wish to look beyond a mess of poorly crafted work to find that which may or may not be worth reading. As a neophyte writer, I used to find this frustrating; however, now that I do a fair amount of editing myself, I don't even bother to *look* at text that is riddled with common careless errors. I think it's prudent to take any editing on your page very seriously, and strive to never make the same mistake twice. Tracy
