It's all been thoroughly argued (though some have done it better than others) so all I'll say on the matter now is, TJ even the worlds best writers have editors and proof readers to correct their mistakes.
It's just pure insanity to think that every piece of negative feedback is wrong. I don't even have to look at the author title on chyoo to realise when I'm reading one of your threads. Your, "artistic style" stands out like a sore thumb, this is by no means a good thing.
I don't mean to get political but using the, "American educational system" as justification for being correct is laughable. Being American you may be living in a slightly blinkered world (it's nothing to be ashamed about, most Americans live like that, it's understandable being one of the largest countries in the world) but it's a well known fact in the rest of the world that the American educational system leaves a lot to be desired. Hell I'm dyslexic (my parents were told that I'd never leave school with any qualifications, so it was pretty bad) and I've grown up with British education (which is by no means perfect) but I've seen you make so many mistakes, mistakes that were drummed out of me when I was still a pre-teen. I'm not talking about spellings because anyone who speaks English knows that there are subtle differences between the Queens English and American English but the grammer is the same. Personally I would love to know who taught you to use the ampersand in writing, or indeed where it says in any list of writing rules that the ampersand is the correct symbol to use for, "and". I know I only used it once when I first started out in writing and I was shot down within the first three comments.
So just think about it TJ, if a dyslexic person is telling you, you make mistakes... don't you think you just might be?
