Hey...maybe we could think of "writing and grammar" as sort of like "pork & beans" or "Johnson & Johnson". That way it'd be a "thing", and it could be correctly referred to in the singular...
Just trying to help...:shocked:

Get some thicker skin. He's right.
However much you dislike the presentation - and DXVuser is oh, so mild compared to what's out there - the advice is sound.
Because I don't know you, because I don't know anything about you, the first impression I get of you is how you communicate when you write.
Writing is the universal critical skill that everyone in production needs. Camera reports, pitches, scripts, notes - you'll be communicating with the written word, one way or another.
Maybe your text on this board is so loose because it's a casual place and hey, it's just the internet. But without insulting you or judging you or dissing you - if a letter, resume, application, portfolio or DVD-case landed on my desk written the way you're writing, it would be discarded.
