Well the merits of correct grammar, punctuation etc is all good but as I always say 'everything in moderation'. No harm in making sure you produce understandable writing, but sometimes it can go too far.
I work for a major exam board - writing, developing exams from GCSE's to 'A' levels, diplomas BTEC etc, yet once you've sat in a meeting and listened to people discuss/argue whether it should be 'explain briefly or briefly explain' you soon come to the conclusion 'yes good grammar' is needed but honestly some people take it too seriously ... hence im a firm believer in the plain English campain, I don't see the problem with English as long as the person is trying to make themselves clear, but I hate lazy English which unfortunately forums can be a breeding place for.
Ok drunk writings over...in'it :D 1111!!!!
