Strictly speaking this is not a question. It is a cry of anger over the butchering of the English language that occurs in this article. I rarely speak out on such things but this area is designated for language and articles about the use of language. The author should either study more or hire a decent editor. This sounds terribly intolerant but the net is literally awash in bad English.

Thank you, Rumple.

Though haven't been able to access the article in question, I understand your frustration. When I see amateur writing that disturbs me, grammar wise, I assume it is from someone for whom English is not the first language, or perhaps the person was not able to receive a decent education. When it comes from someone professing to be a "writer" or, worse yet, a professional "journalist" influencing so many from his position on TV, I get crazy! Maybe the teaching of English has been replaced with "How to Make $$ Getting the Hottest Gossip or Sexiest Photos". 

I know I make mistakes, but I majored in neither journalism nor English - and neither do I get the "big bucks". Also, I'm wondering whether the rules of grammar have changed in the last 60 years. Things that were taboo when I was in school seem to be common usage today. If that is so, I will accept it, but I have not yet found authoritative information on the subject.

I commend you for caring enough about our language to express your outrage at its decline. 

P.S. Do you remember diagraming sentences?  It was such fun in junior high, I wish I could remember how to do it.

Hi Dots

I really shouldn't get upset by this sort of thing and I do make allowances for non native speakers/writers. When I write in another language I know I make plenty of mistakes. However, this writer was from Florida! The English language really must be protected or it will devolve into gibberish.

Thanks for your kind thoughts

Woe... I agree 100%!

Here's the page that Rumple is talking about:

http://www.bukisa.com/articles/31883_making-money-with-webtradehut-forum and yes, it's bad.

I especially dislike the use of "peoples" in the place of "people". After the first couple of sentences I was turned off from the original message and found myself looking for other mistakes and getting distracted and even irritated.

Bad English writers should either copy and paste if general information or like Rumple mentioned... have their work checked before making the editorial final.

OK peoples, I needs to go now to take care of my strict timings at my home outfit.

Sorry, I slipped there a bit, however you know what I mean right?

Have a great day wherever you are,

The Traveling Girl
