There are far too many posts with horrible grammar and spelling. It’s getting ridiculous.

I can’t be alone in noticing this, right?

    It’s mind numbing. I understand ESL speakers having trouble, and I understand being tired and messing stuff up in comments, but if you’re making a post you should be double and triple checking everything you wrote. It’s ridiculous.

        The distinction is, ESL people are taught English and then graded on it. If they don’t know their “who” from “whom” and “that”, then they fail. Unlike native speakers a s writers, they’ve proved they can write in English and be proud of it.

        When I was fluent in French, I was pleased at my work and it made me proud. I’m 20 years lapsed and I absolutely struggle at the French in Shoresy when I should know it.
