Reply #11: It doesn't matter whether people make sense or not?

The truth is not a personal "attack"; it's simply a fact. "to" does not mean "from". Indefinite pronoun references confuse readers.

I'm glad that people write LTTEs, but, as in all writing (including my own), the writer should be aware of all of the different kinds of people who may read what she or he has written and how s/he can be misunderstood. Grammar is basically a system that maintains the logical relationships between elements of meaning. If a writer **really** cares about what s/he is trying to say, s/he will become sensitive to ambiguity in meaning and write to avoid it. If what one means doesn't really matter, any words will do, so Grammar is ir-relevant.
