Writing is like cooking: you really ought to be competent in the basics, but not everybody is required to be super fucking intense about it.

What actually resonated with me in the first of two rants is this:

“…It is important to write properly, i.e. with words that mean the things you’re trying to say, with punctuation used as punctuation and not decoration, with sufficiently correct grammar that the reader doesn’t have to put in serious effort to understand what you’re even on about.”

Emphasis mine. It’s accessibility. They’re describing a form of accessibility.
