Re: Recommendation Letters (Ethics) [#permalink]
I would say that a well-written letter IS important. While smaller, more nuanced things like split infinitives aren't a big deal, bigger issues of grammar and clarity are. Simply put, if she writes poorly, it will reflect poorly on you. EVERYONE needs an editor. I am sure you can find some way to get your letter writer to submit her stuff for review, to you or someone else.

Re: Recommendation Letters (Ethics) [#permalink]
unfortunately, the vast majority of applicants "cheat" here, writing the letter themselves and simply having ppl sign them off. That's unfair and unethical, but nothing we can do about it.
