Expression vs. Ignorance
In response to williedigital:
"A misspelled word may be an "off note" in certain circumstances, but many other times it is an expression of creativity and experimenting with the boundaries of language. I'd rather live in a world of rock and roll, jazz, and hip-hop rather than nothing but perfectly performed symphonies. One wonders if you people have ever read a poem or novel in your life??"
Generally the most nuanced and moving poetry and jazz are created by someone who has mastered the basics of his or her craft and understands exactly what each space, break and word conveys. If anything, this highlights the importance of clarity and precision in writing.
