RE: Grammar Question

[Yves JEAUROND <jingting -at- rogers -dot- com>]

I didn't get the part about "writes his name on it".
  Try this:
"Draw and sign each picture."
   
    This eliminates the syntax error in the original post,
of misplacing the coordinating conjunction.  
A coordinating conjunction ("and") links parts of a sentence that
have the same status*. Duh.
   
  Are there really TWs out there who think that knowing your audience
 is more important than knowing English grammar?
  Am I in for a shock? :-) I understand that when writing a sitcom, 
 a movie or other fictions, one needs to inject slang into dialog.
  But in TW? There must be someone who has been successful
 at putting the cart before the horse? :-)
