"PROFESSIONAL WRITERS: LEARN TO WRITE!"
Good writing demands the following: correct spelling, complete sentences, proper grammar and appropriate punctuation. Anything else is unacceptable.
Check the following. Do these examples meet the criteria? Correct them if they do not.
"I like to think of myself as a nice guy. A reasonable guy. A positive, self-aware person who's pleasant to be around and makes the world a better place."

"If someone's not a dumbass, I tolerate them."
