OT: Grammar
I have to apologize in advance for this grossly off-topic comment.
Over the last few weeks, I have noticed an increasing number of posts that are almost beyond comprehension due to incorrect grammar and spelling. I'm not talking about the minor mistakes we all make, but truly incoherant, incomprehensible sentences that neglect standard grammatical structure of even the most simply written English. I have noticed this on several different forums and mailing lists, so the problem is not exclusive to TFL.
Has any one else noticed the same thing? Am I alone in believing that this is a recent trend, occuring mostly within the last few weeks? I wonder if this speaks to the international nature of TFL, where English might not be the first language of all participants?
Please know that it is not my intention to be prudish, critical, or insulting. I am entirely willing to accept that the problem lies in my perception, not in reality.
Any thoughts?
Joseph
