my English professor was one of the best professors I had. He used the class to teach kids how to think. A moronic person could write something grammatically correct. so lets not focus too much on the grammar and more on the content. That is what is important anyway.
PS. I write for a living, and my work requires me to have correct spelling and correct use of grammatical practices. Not because they are important in themselves, but because they are key to accurate communication, which is what my work requires.
But when I write online, I'm often rushed, slapping out content, and I don't proofread my postings as much as I should.
Don't worry that I'm making a big deal about grammar like a nazzi or something. I don't. But "well written" in my book means mastery of all dimensions of the communication, from form (words, spelling, grammar, etc) to themes, content, turn of phrase, eloquence, etc.
One of my favorite sayings is:
Meaning, Form, Communication. The form isn't important in it's own right, but it's part of the medium by which meaning is conveyed.
Anyway, that's how I see it.
If you appreciated what I wrote, that's really what's important to me. The rest is about process.
