Agreed. And I've successfully argued against candidates for my group based on poorly-proofed writing samples. I don't care so much about the writing style (as long as it's not impenetrable) but I just want to make sure they weren't too lazy to read through it and make sure it makes sense and is properly organized. if they can form an argument without showing that they haven't mastered cut and paste and spell check functions, and marginal knowledge of hte blue book, I'm happy. Unfortunately, that appears to be a tall order.

Oh, God, yes. We're talking about a totally outrageous paradigm.

Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.
