> Of the cited hate mail Savant received, I have to wonder how many were setup with poor writing on the topic. The article includes the specific wording that Savant used in her column. It seems pretty clear. > I think this story in its entirety says a lot about ignoring the importance of good technical writing… and how people on the internet love tricking others to feel “right.” ... or, since the column that provoked all hate mail was in 1990 and people saw it in print publications, perhaps it says very little about the internet. And given the higher effort of writing an actual letter to Savant then vs now, it says that people's desire to "correct" a woman is pretty high.
