If I was to come to the writing center and need help with my paper and...

As Gordon Sauer III so eloquently stated in his treatise entitled "If I Were to Come to the Writing Center," the most fundamental issue in both the theoretical and pedagogical approaches to the development of writing, from the perspective of those who directly interact with developing writers, is that "writing can always be improved"(1). Past writers have conveyed similar ideas, but for Sauer to propose this theory in the twenty-first century is simply a phenomenal achievement. How, for instance, would Faulkner's "The Bear" hold up when viewed through the lens of Sauer's statement, a monument of hyperacademia, a pillar of twenty-first century literary analysis? Perhaps we can look back at the story's complete lack of punctuation (and coherence?) and contend that Faulkner didn't know no better. Twenty-first century students can learn from Faulkner's mistakes.

Seriously, though, one could always use extra practice with grammar. Also, with the constant changes in technology, one has to stay abreast in terms of the most cutting edge programs in technological communications. Also, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Gordon Sauer III for his inspiration and his "law" of the writing center.
