in letters, emails, forums and chats i dont really care about correct writing, neither english or in my norwegian
in litterature however, its much more important, because its a matter of a wholeness of a work. in the same way you cannot pretend to go for great realism in a painting, for then to ommit all shadows, you cannot pretend to write litterature, and then not write correctly

direct communication however is about making oneself understood. an additional little issue is that were talking about english here, and... lets be honest... apart from scandinavians and the dutch, everybody sucks at it...

I think if I get slack with my writing somewhere, then gradually it will happen in my university writing and I do not want that. I know I use imo, btw, fwiw, etc. but I am conscious of using them, it is not second nature.

I have a very bad tendency of making grammatical mistakes, especially with the one mentioned here and using wrong tenses, even words in extreme cases.

Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.
