SouthArk's Suggestions For Effective Posting (Grammar/Spelling Counts)

waaaasabi

Effective writing is a lot more difficult than people think; it requires forethought, a robust grasp on the tools of language, and an understanding of the socio-cultural norms of the audience. A good education may help in some facets of a person's writing ability, but at the higher education levels (college and above), where specialization is prominent, I don't think there's much correlation between education and writing ability. I went to an Ivy League school (not a backdoor humblebrag, I swear) with some of the brightest people in the country, and many of them couldn't write for sh*t.

As for hoping for any sort of writing standards on any forum, online or otherwise, it's a futile exercise. As long as someone can get their point across somewhat well, then they're golden in my book.
