When I took a technical writing class in college, no matter how much time and effort I put into the work I couldn't get a decent mark on any of my assignments. In exasperation, I copied one composition which met the requirements from a textbook I found in the library. I figured the textbook example should be near perfect. Sure enough, when I got the paper back the teacher deleted paragraphs, rearranged sentences, made copious comments, and gave a less than perfect grade. I resolved myself to the fact that grading this class was extremely judgemental and I couldn't win no matter what I did.

Since then, in industry I've found certain bosses and proofreaders that would have all kinds of fun rewriting my work. Somehow, judging somebody else's writing brings out the worst in power-hungry people.
