Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews.

 “I can’t say I struggle to read any of them, not even the frankly unpleasantly dishonest Darko, but most are as dull as ditchwater.”
 @cd318 if you are going to impugn someone else’s integrity and character I think you risk being unpleasant and dishonest when you don’t offer any evidence to support your casual slanderous remark.

The last I checked with the powers that be moderating such subjects such as stereo equipment and recordings and personal preferences regarding such likes and like nots in a time when proper use of grammar has diminished as well as the use of cursive writing in such that the writer or reader of such prose in order to decipher the underlying meaning or theme that may go along with such a statement could really care less about such an atrocity of not punctuating properly when discussing the haves and have nots or the merits and demerits of the comma.

I read HiFi reviews for meaningful content (not as a language usage pundit).

I do have a difficult time making it through many of the 6-moons reviews, but only due to the amount of FLUFF.

I have the same probem with many of Jeff Day's reviews, but only due to the amount of BS.

I see little useful or interesting commentary on the OP's original post, but a lot of would-be clever puns and nonsense. Too bad, because it's an interesting subject. I do see that apparently many members aren't bothered by poor grammar.

I can barely put together a coherent thought when reading anything by Jason Kennedy, editor of the-ear.net.  It is as if he does not understand the limitation of use of a comma.  Do the English really have that much of a different implementation of the english language versus Americans?

Actually, sometimes one will write in a particular style that emulates an eclectic (if you will) speaking style or an involved story with many facets. Sometimes, you have to go with the flow. If it's not for you, it's not for you, but, it's not like we're turning out flexible, well read readers (or listeners) anymore. I'm guessing that in the not too distant future, 'tweets' and Instagram posts will be as nuanced a reading adventure as Americans, born and not yet born, will ever see.
