Write Good. Code Gooder.

Not surprising, but confirms what years of experience has already shown: Computer scientists are generally less articulate than we might hope.  The link leads to a table showing scores on the GRE exam, broken out by expected field of study. Those who plan to study computer and information sciences scored miserably in both the verbal and the analytical writing sections. Could this be a factor in the Agile movements aversion to formal specifications?  (Ya think?)
