No, I'm not Oscar Wilde, but if Wilde were alive today, he would be appalled at the number of people (students, namely) who fail to properly edit and proofread their works. They are very important parts of the writing process, yet students, as they hand in their final portfolios to me, say, "I still don't get what you mean by fused sentences." or "I think I found all the fragments." or "Who cares about commas?"
Your readers do, Virginia.
