The sad truth is, S –, most people are not writers. This has nothing to do with literacy – or intelligence, or general culture. There are people who can correct the grammar, spelling, diction, and style of a college English paper with the best of them – who are still not writers. Indeed, most of what gets published in books, magazines, and newspapers is not written by real writers – which is one reason why so much of it is so bad.
