creative writing
by Anil Siqueira on Jan 27, 2006 12:39 PM

The fourth tip that Lalwani quotes in the Tips for Aspiring Writers is:
iv. Be honest. The most important quality one must have to be a good writer, says Balakrishnan, is honesty.
And in the first comment on the article Pankaj Jaju copies from Rediffs article on Technical Writing without quoting his source, leading to the next comment by Suvarna.
He attempts to undo the damage by giving the source in the next comment, but the damage has already been done.
And Suvarna makes another grammatical gaff: The entire content of your message save two sentences is directly lifted from our article about Technical Writing on Rediff.
What is it? Technical Writing on Rediff. OR our article on Rediff .
Does she even understand the difference?

Actually the sentence should read: The entire content of your message, save two sentences, HAS BEEN directly lifted from our article on Rediff about Technical Writing.
