The first line of Craig Vetter's article Bonhead writing states that "college students can't write a lick." Whether it's a term paper, or a suicide note; apperentely college students have no idea how to collaborate their thoughts into a solid piece of writing; a composition. Of course i'm going to have to completely disagree, being a freshman in college; however I do see where he is coming from. Some students and people just don't have it.
Everyone has their struggles and common mistakes that they make while writing. Mine are normally the difference between the words their, there, they're and there usages! In fact I am not even completely confident that "there usages" was the correct "there." However, that does not mean I cannot write a lick... In fact, any author who thinks that another author can't "write a lick" shouldn't be allowed to voice their opinion. In my opinion, anything that isn't positive and helpful is completely irrelevant; therefore, when Craig admits that there a bonehead writers our there who can't even write a simple letter; it makes me cringe! I can't believe someone with so much experience and success in writing could state something so bias and arrogant. Honestly, I think writing is an art. It's an expression between oneself and their words, telling someone that the outcome of that phenomena is a "bonehead piece of writing," is blasphemy!
