If I can be just a little bit snotty for a minute...I just finished proofing the seminar paper of a graduate student that needs to retake 8th grade English. I understand that I may not be the most precise writer all the time, but at least a coherent arguement generally makes its way onto my screen. I sincerely wonder how this guy was admitted to graduate school. His entire paper for our HISTORY seminar, was either written in the future tense or the present perfect. If I had a nickel for every useless "had" or "has" he had in the paper...I would be freaking rich. Well...at least enough to buy a latte. Context is important, flow is important, and a coherent thesis is important. Otherwise you have, exactly as this paper demonstrated, twenty-seven pages of nothing.
