I do remember my early days when I didn't quite grasp the concept of English actually having punctuation rules. And I have to thank NSS for being patient enough to explain everything to death until I comprehended it. I'm aware of my weakness to slip the occasional Germanism in my writing, but my regular beta is aware of it and looks out for those, and when I have occasional betas when she's not around, I tend to point out that it's my weakness and ask them to look out for them. So, yeah, I'd rather have teh perfect posted a week later than the imperfect a day early. But obviously, only a few work that way. It seems nowadays, the majority write for the quick fix and then throw a fit if they don't get reviews. *sighs*
