I agree with Fran. Being able to write well isn't really a requirement for programming and IT. Paying attention in case-sensitive languages is more important. And the compiler is crankier than any grammar nazi.Originally Posted by rapunzel47
Well, you know, I just take that as a sign that s/he's putting more attention on IT stuff than on proper English, and since his/her proper use of the English language is not going to fix my computer problem, I think s/he has the right priorities -- even if reading such text does tie my stomach in knots.
