Hypocrazy! I reserve the right to critisize even though I also mak mistaks the sometimes

Sometimes I criticize poor quality writing as a corollary of poor quality thinking in the world of therapy, because it’s alarmingly common. Many deluded and fraudulent purveyors of bogus treatments are often incoherent when they try to ’splain themselves.

People out there in on the interwebs often write to scold me for this — how dare I criticize writing when there’s a tipo off my own on the very same page? Why don’t I just stick to the idees?

Of course, whenever I make criticasms of sloppy writing, I do open myself up to a charge of hypocrazy, because there are certainly scattered errrs on my website, probbly even on this veru page. But it’s a matter of dagree. I only criticize someone’s communiation skills when their writeing problem are signicifant and revelant : when the errors are thick and nasty and thick and nasty, when they arre combimed with style problems like SHOUTING IN CAPS!!!, or abusing “quotion marks”; or just horrible spellung and grammer and sentense structure, and and whn they betray ignoranse of the subjet matter,, like a chiropracor who writes the “veterbra” three times in the same short email but incests “I’m a proffesional”.

(I’m not making that last bit up. I actually got that message.)

Not everyone’s a writer, but writing that bad is much worse than just lacking a knack — and it exposes a lack of mental rigour and maturity. There is such a thing as a minimum literacy required for one’s ideas to be taken srsly.
