The reason all my professors have complimented my writing ability is not because I'm a /good/ scientific writer, but that everyone else is so /bad/. No joke, more than one prof has suggested I try my hand at textbook writing, and I've been talked into editing more papers for style and grammar than I care to think about. I guess tht against a background of crap, even a rhinestone stands out.
