Very stupid reason to disqualify somebody's opinion about writing.
[/ QUOTE ]
i disagree. it is a very stupid reason to disqualify someone's opinion on most topics. but i have yet to meet a good writer that regularly makes those mistakes. now obviously that doesn't mean it's impossible for someone to exist that is both a good writer and makes those errors, but in the absence of other evidence suggesting he is in fact a good writer, i take the information that i have.
(i do know smart math/science types who regularly make these mistakes, but no smart humantities types who do)
(edit, responding to his edit) i agree that it shouldn't matter much, in theory, but in reality i doubt you know any good writers who make these kinds of mistakes)
