Quite true. Though I'd say writing on social media can give a bad impression of anyone.

There's a classic 19th century saying "He who edits his own work has a moron for an editor." I believe this to be true because even the best of editors is guilty of seeing what he meant to say rather than what he actually said when double checking his work.

The fact that LKH works with almost no editing at this point says more about her cluelessness than it does about skill, but in social media, almost no one has an editor, and the medium itself can lead experts (writers, editors, etc) to seem stupid because they accidentally typed the wrong "there" and didn't catch it.
