if you hate lit, but are looking for writing experience, you'll poop the bed w/ an english minor - unless you really want to take that proseminar in british poetry to improve your grammar.

Go journalism - most journalism departments have mandatory grammar sections to begin.
Exactly. I majored in English, and there was not much writing involved at all, except in my poetry and fiction writing classes. 99% of what we did was read literature, which really has nothing to do with building grammar skills.
