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

I find the majority of formal audio reviews across numerous publications to be easy reads.  However, 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?  Does anybody else struggle to read certain editors' work?

@roxy54: Nothing wrong with mentioning religious affiliation, as long as in doing so one doesn't insult those who don't share that affiliation.

Intending to show you put a great deal of thought into your articles and wish for them to be high quality: what's that got to do with being a Christian? Again, smug superiority, imo a Cardinal Sin. ;-)

Interesting comment above:  "Americans don't write good English."
This is clearly an over-generalisation but there is some truth in it.

I find it ironic that Americans are at the same time killing English as I older English people knew it and spreading and perpetuating English and its influence all around the world.

We English probably ought to be pleased.

Particularly as “ Americans do not write English well “ would be mucho betterer....

" @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."
In the spirit of this thread, your use of the word 'slanderous' is incorrect.
The word you want to use is 'libelous'.
