Years of working with the English language as my writing skills developed have enhanced my appreciation of the crucial importance of good writing, which requires evolution through drafts to produce the desired effect. This experience has also sharpened an already keen eye for detail. In fact, rarely will a day pass without my encountering a grammatical or spelling error, either online or in print. It is tragic to see a message weakened and its impact lost through failure to get the wording right'.
