I'm one of those lawyers who read -- very carefully -- the reports and letters or whatnot folks like Godsey prepare. Bad spelling, misplaced commas, terrible grammar and other such gaffes display someone who cannot communicate properly. I take that into consideration when evaluating the matter, how well can that person present in court before judge and jury, and does the person know what they're talking about.
You cannot believe the junk I see... they're, their, and there, you're and your (and of course, UR), and the poor little apostrophe all over the place. Every man or woman who treasures the English language should read the little book "Eats, Shoots and Leaves." On my Treo, I spell out what I'm trying to say, and with that puny keyboard it takes a while. So, I've learned economy of words. Keep it short and simple.
