Maybe, when you are established you'll be able to get away with writing like that, but until then it makes me want to leap for my red pen; and others will feel the same if you submit manuscripts like that. |
Amen to that, Chris. Though I think I'm even more Nazi-ish than you - I don't think you should ever be able to get away with it, established or not. Laziness breeds laziness. And practice makes perfect.
