What d'you guys think?
I've become a lot more aware of grammatical mistakes in people's writing, especially the writing of non-professional writers such as bloggers. I find that parallel construction is often not adhered to for instance. I don't necessarily know whether (NB: before the GMAT I probably would have written whether or not, but that's redundant!) following GMAT's grammar rules necessarily makes us better writers, but it's definitely something to think about.
Does studying for the GMAT make you a better writer?

Indeed, true. You become a better at writing (& reading, analysing as well) studying for GMAT.

I'd like to say that I've become a better RECOGNIZER than writer! hahaha.. I type too fast for me to be able to think about how to grammatically fix my errors. I know there have been a ton in these couple of sentences that I've just written!
I specifically named my blog = Ellipsing My Way...to Business School just so that I wouldn't have to worry about anyone mentioning my grammatical errors!

My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.
