The bottom line is - most people involved in communications doesn't just
start selling radios without any type of formal education.

Which apparently he hasn't had since he can't build a sentence properly.

You mean the verb doesn't always agree with the nearest noun?!? Who'd'a
thunk it?

(That's one of my pettest of peeves, by the way.)

I read scopes of work (and other corp. docs) as a significant part of my
living. In other words, I'm a proofreader. So I understand being picky
about building sentences and paragraphs and documents.

It has to make sense as a whole, and if someone can't make even a single
sentence work, they surely can't make the whole work.

Agree.

I'm a decent writer but I rarely turn out something that can't be improved.

I'm not a great or even decent writer in my mind, but I'm a pretty good
proofreader. That probably sounds counter-intuitive but I've learned
it's not, at least in my case. I can't always tell someone how to fix
things, but I can almost always tell there's something wrong or not
quite right. That said I still write a lot of the corrections, which
are sometimes fixed later by someone else.
