Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
We never cut the stud, as it is a structural member. My drywall neighbor calls it "prelimming" short for preliminary work, and he puts strips on the studs and uses a 6' level across the studs to get a good product. The preferred material is thick cardboard, as it does not split while fastening it, unlike wood strips.
For a bad outward bow I have seen him shave a stud with the skil saw and a straight edge.
