I am a little confused. I understand what ' sloppy' means, but are you saying that I cannot use ' sloppy' to descirbe a person, such as a sloppy student or a sloppy writer?

I see. I overlooked 'not' in your original post. You are right in saying that when someone does not do his work properly and carefully, he is sloppy. The word can doubtlessly describe people.
