"Writing for Writers" (Daily Pennsylvanian, 03/04/09)

Can a crusade consist primarily of gentle suggestions? Something along the lines of, "Hey all you heretics, how about maybe converting? Just think about it, OK? Please?" As an English major, I care a lot about usage and about not getting tangled in bad analogies. So it would definitely be incorrect to say that I'm on a personal crusade against the writing requirement. Let's say that I take issue with certain aspects of the logic with which this well-intentioned measure is currently implemented.
