Writing signals intelligence and competence. Good writers are perceived to be intelligent and competent. Poor writers are perceived to be not intelligent and incompetent. In other words, reading something from a good writer leaves you thinking, “this is smart” and “this makes sense.” Reading something from a poor writer leaves you thinking, “I’m confused,” “this doesn’t make sense,” and “this person doesn’t seem to have thought this through.”
