Grammar nazi indignant
I made an experiment: I subtracted each topic published this morning. I resent, gentlemen: the number of errors in the texts is incredible. These are not typos, but real ignorance, which looks especially awful in texts with a claim to significance and technicality.
Examples of obvious errors:
Alternative to iTunes for Mac OS users :
A huge number of missing commas, missing dashes in “something” and “someone”, an absolutely incredible inclination of the word “fan” in “a fan probably should pass by”, incorrect construction of sentences ( advantages and disadvantages").
A tale about why pirate publishers were afraid :
“For rather” - this means for some, not existing in nature, “ rather ”. "On the edge" - from the same opera; a slightly different song - "all the same."
')
The merger of Oracle and Sun, the prospects (in this topic, the number of errors just rolls over, led the first few):
"I want to share my vision of what will happen if Oracle buys Sun." A thousand times it was said: what to do - share it, what will you do - share it. The missing comma after the "will" - who remembers the rule by which it is set?
"Why do I want to dedicate a whole topic to this?" The lanterns are shining, the lanterns are shining! And the topic needs to be dedicated.
“Isn't there enough talk in the comments?” Well, to hell with him, with a sentence written with a lowercase letter. But the word “not enough” cannot be written in the form “not enough”, because “not” is used to form a word of the opposite meaning.
Grammar nazi inside of me wants to get Schmeiser and drive all illiterate authors to school. It hurts my eyes, it jars on me, I hate those who consider Russian as their native language and do not know why soft signs are needed.
And I also resent the fact that everyone is already accustomed to the illiteracy surrounding them.
