Argh! Stupid people are EVIL!

This woman cannot write to save her goddamned soul.

Her sentences are convoluted, and often are missing verbs or key nouns.

She has no notion of how to use prepositions.

Her tenses are all over the place.

She has no idea how to format footnotes. In order to translate a footnote alluded to on one page, I have to flip to another page to get it.

:::Edited to add::: That in itself is a tour de force, given that word processing programs do it all for you automatically!

She doesn't know how to properly reference acronyms. She also switches languages with her acronyms willy-nilly, without explaining herself. Arrgh!

And, of course, these people want the text yesterday.

*grr*

She sucks.

An old book meme I'm reviving...

First Lines Meme

(Okay, normally you're only supposed to do ten, but I got carried away, as usual.)

1- "Jacob Blunt was my last patient. He came into my office wearing a scarlet hibiscus in his curly blond hair. He sat down in the easy chair across from my desk, and said, 'Doctor, I think I'm losing my mind' "

( The rest of 'em... )

Attention CSI fans and other amateurs of, err, amateur writing

Not "amateur writing" as in "bad writing," just as in non-professional writing. :)

Go here.

'Sides, the author's a friend of mine, and rocks my world.
