“Those who prefer their English sloppy have only themselves to thank if the advertisement writer uses his mastery of the vocabulary and syntax to mislead their weak minds.”
Dorothy L. Sayers
“people have lost the true meaning of writing to write is not just to write something and get paid for to write is a special talent that a few people have when you have a gift and you have a dream money and all those extra things don't matter living your dream and being a true writer is the best dream you can live”

“The sky was dark and gloomy, the air was damp and raw, the streets were wet and sloppy. The smoke hung sluggishly above the chimney-tops as if it lacked the courage to rise, and the rain came slowly and doggedly down, as if it had not even the spirit to pour.”
Charles Dickens
“Is sloppiness in speech caused by ignorance or apathy? I don't know and I don't care”
William Safire
“We were playing sloppy. We had guys trying to lay on the big hit instead of just wrapping up. We were hitting a little high. Probably I have and probably we all have been guilty of wanting the big hit, but we can't always get it. That game was kind of a quicksand feeling. You start going down, down, down and you can't stop.”
Chris Stanton
“metaphorical sloppy seconds.”
Stephen Colbert
“We really felt all along that the Corps was a group that we could absolutely trust. They wouldn't do sloppy work, or allow sloppy work. They realized that this community basically lives and dies on the strength of those levees. Now, what's happened -- it's like finding out that your mother lied to you all the years of your life.”
Walter Maestri
