If you look at any of my writings, it is easy to see they are far from perfect. Mainly due to the fact that I was too lazy to proof read. I have not seriously proof read a paper for school purposes in years. Why? Call it cocky, or confident but I have faith in my abilities. I don't make many grammatical errors, but just enough to get on your nerves. Another issue of mine is being able to find a balance between being vague and overly wordy. I try to always paint a picture with my adjectives but at times it comes out confusing and a mess. While at other times, I simply don't use enough of these adjectives.
A pet peeve of mine when reading a paper is when people try to sound intelligent by using huge fancy word to convey their message when really they have no idea how to use these words in such a context. A girl in my high school English class did this in everyone of her papers and always asked me to proof read her papers. I always tried to tell her in a nice way as to what she was doing wrong but she never took my advice. Paper after paper she always had points taken of for this offense.
Ps. I've been up all night, I might die of exhaustion.
