Why is grammar and mechanics important?

I believe grammar and mechanics are important when it comes to writing essays and other formal works. It is important because people need to make a habit of writing properly so when they are applying for a job or a college no "slang" is used. Also, proper grammar is important for writing an everyday essay or even a blog. If one practices using proper grammar and mechanics more often in their daily lives their writing will become better and will contain less fatal flaws.

My New Year's Resolution

This year I am not going to make my resolution to loose weight because that never works. However, I am going to try my best to not get so caught up on the little things. I will do my best to pick and choose my battles to hopefully make my life less stressful and make me happier as a person. I will attempt my goal by catching myself before I snap about something that won't matter in the end. If I do end up snapping I will keep a journal and write a brief apology to whomever it is but not show them. I will also write down what I could have done to better the situation. Hopefully if I catch myself enough times it will just become a habit of mine to be a more relaxed person overall.
