I'm a writer. I know how to take criticism. I know how to remain professional when given an edit of my work.

However, am I experiencing unreasonable amounts of anger when one of my reviewers, upon finding a danging modifier in my document, tells me to check out a website about grammar? When I find a bug in the software, am I supposed to pull a book on C++ from the bookshelf and thrust it at the programmer?

It was a First Draft people! I was given two weeks (in addition to all the other documents I was working on) to put this together quickly just to get a feel for how it would look.

So yes, there are a few problems with the writing that would've been corrected with a grammatical edit by the other writer.

They also accused me of being too wordy. A tutorial has to do more than just give you the steps to reach a goal; it also has to point out stuff along the way so that you understand the concepts being taught to you.

But what do I know? Everyone believes they can do my job better than I can.
