I've got a degree in English and PPA, and was a Dean's list student. She probably stuck to creative writing wherever she could. My use of punctuation could be pretty creative even after the degree, and it didn't hurt me a bit, really, so long as I made a general attempt at spell checking, and could create a reasonably grammatically correct sentence, they really didn't seem to care overly much.
I've since tried to clean up my act quite a bit, but I could see her having an English degree. I could even see her having gotten decent grades, and having gone to a decent school, like I did.
Thing is? Degree was back like 20 years ago, for both of us, and as I said, cleaned up the act since. She's writing long term professionally, so even less excuse.
