English Major

[ValiantKnight]

If it is anything like the Professional Research/Reporting(aka Techincal Writing) I am taking, then the course is not for a major in English.

Yet, the teacher still wishes you to have perfect grammar, spelling, flow, idea connections, layout, etc...etc..etc..

Basically you have 1 or 2 weeks to write a paper and it should be the mona lisa of papers according to the teacher

Visiting message boards and viewing online documents certainly inhibits this "correct"(perfectionist..) way of writing... where everything has to be perfect and has to be scrutinized fifteen times left, down, up and right.

Therefore, one who spends large amounts of time on the computer generally loses their English "perfection" skills, or so it seemed to me, unless they are constantly marked for errors by other online individuals, which is usually not the case when it comes to the internet, especially message boards.

Now see, my writing above I would see as.... ok.
Granted its not a noble prize winning document, like the teacher would want. She would have my post so red with ink, that you could not see my original text
