No one's mentioned it yet, so I guess I'll be the one.

I can't tolerate that many misspelt words and grammatical errors...

My guess is: English is his second language, but yes, I had a real hard time getting through that one. That piece would improve greatly with a little proofreading.

This comment made my day. Thank you :-)

I should have written it after my morning coffee.

> . . . grammatical errors..

Normally we only put one period at the end of a sentence.

Apropos of the value of his comment, I'm sure you can appreciate that there's a difference between grammatical errors of the "don't understand the rules of language" type, and "poor keyboard/typing".

Since you brought it up, what WAS the value of his comment?

The original point was valid - that it is hard to read writing with many spelling and grammar errors.

I guess my point was, by demonstration, that nitpicking little aspects of the articles we link here is without positive value. I'd have been wiser to leave my comment unwritten, but sometimes I can't help myself.
