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

I’m old enough to remember back when it was considered proper to correct bad grammar right on the spot. It was never considered bad manners or insulting to do so and when I was corrected, it was not a big deal. In fact, I appreciated it and endeavored to remember it.

Yes but this was back before everyone was told they are a special snowflake, entitled to "their own truth" and that the best way of doing something isn’t really the best, you are just oppressing me, man!

Grammar is rules of language, how we use words. Earlier on another thread I lamented how there are similar rules of engagement for argument and inquiry. Not argument in the Monty Python sense, but argument in the sense of how you structure and say what it is that you want to say. Hardly anyone knows these rules any more either. The one thing they hate more than any other is rules- no worse, being told there ARE rules! Who are you to tell me.... etc etc yada yada.

But, there are. Following them is the difference between this

now that my friends is an argument. Impeccable. Right down to the grammar.

" I gotta say I've never come across"...
I guess you weren't one of those writers edcyn.

I very much like the above post by @douglas_schroeder, with the exception of one statement:

"Also, as a Christian I intend to show that I put a great deal of thought into my articles and wish for them to be high quality."

There are a couple of adjectives I could ascribe to a person who would say such a thing, but I shall refrain from doing so. I WILL say the sentiment revealed in the statement is disrespectful and insulting to a lot of other human beings. That smug moral superiority is very common amongst members of many (all?) faiths.

Though not myself an atheist, Christopher Hitchens was (R.I.P.), and his superb writing exhibited a great deal of thought, including why he considered The Catholic Church (and many other religious organizations) evil. You may not agree with his opinion, but you cannot accuse him of a lack of thought.

The so called lover of structure and rules hold King dotard in such high regard, yet fail to recognize his inability to craft or even utter a complete sentence.

My recollection is Donnie said “ grab em by the punctuation mark “

"Also, as a Christian I intend to show that I put a great deal of thought into my articles and wish for them to be high quality."

GMAFB Doug.
