Re: Writer vs Author (was Techwriting after the boom)
To readers, grammar & design are nice, but ultimately incidental.I look at it this way:
Bad grammar or design are like noise in a radio signal. When there's less noise, communication is improved, so improving grammar and design is important. However, you can still get a message even though there's a little noise.
Good thing, too. Otherwise, with my clumsy typing, I'd never communicate.
