That may be true if you're documenting products for the virtually
illiterate who often seem to make up a large portion of the general
consumer base. Try sending a document set full of bad grammar
and/or spelling to the FDA or the FAA. They'll hand you back
your head (and not your desired approvals) on a platter.

True enough. Have we ever done a survey of how many of us have done work
for the government -- within very strict boundaries and guidelines --
and how many of us have not -- and were/are basically free to set our
own guidelines?
