group

i really find my columbia group irksome. we have to write all these joint papers and they send them to me and they're always so 4th grade. for starters, everyone puts two spaces after a period. didn't this go out of fashion with typewriters? am i the only person who realizes this' an arcane, outmoded practice. it honestly just pisses me off. i was sort of nasty about it in my email this morning but what the fuck. i cannot be the only one aware of the sentence-space rule and i cannot continue to correct everyone's errors. it's basic.
as for the actual semantics of their prose, rudimentary is the kindest word i can use. they all start the same way. all the verbs are passive. they only use a simple sentence structure. this' just more than i can take. i'm basically going to have to rewrite the entire 50pp tome we're putting together. and you know i recognize that some of my comments weren't very nice in the email i sent this morning but it's just infuriating. this' a graduate level course; the students should be able to write at least one intelligent paragraph.
the best sentence in today's draft was, "the company needs to give them more intrinsic rewards." comment: you can't give intrinsic benefits.
