Why Conventions Matter

Conventions are important for a number of reasons. First, they help to ensure that your writing is clear and easy to understand. When you follow the conventions of grammar and punctuation, your readers will be able to follow your train of thought and understand your meaning without getting confused. Second, conventions help to make your writing more professional and polished. When you use the correct grammar and punctuation, your writing will appear more credible and authoritative. Third, conventions help to save time and effort. When you know the conventions, you don't have to waste time looking up how to spell a word or how to punctuate a sentence. You can simply follow the conventions and get your writing done right the first time.
