I'm a proofreader by trade, but I don't harass people about their grammar, spelling, or typos. It *really* doesn't matter unless it's something official or something that is about to be printed or published.

I have an English degree because I've always loved literature and I wanted to be an English teacher. Life doesn't always work out the way you've planned.

Writing, for me, is an art form. It is the closest we can get to seeing someone's inner self. The beauty of language is in its millions of combinations to convey perfectly the writer's expression of thought and emotion, and in its complexity that can demonstrate how just a single word can communicate a world of meaning.
