Good grammar and punctuation? Why bother, right? How about spelling? Naw. Screw it. It’s all too constricting. It’s too confining. It stifles creativity.  I mean, why pay copy-editors. Don’t need ‘em; don’t want ‘em. The public is too dumb to notice, anyway.

Bunk. It’s pure laziness on the part of independent authors, and, in the case of big publishers, it’s pure greed.
