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?

@bruce19,

Have you heard his podcast on snake oil?

Squirm City Arizona.

Nothing libellous about having an opinion. I couldn't care less about his butthurt.

Is there really any surprise that he blocks comments even on his own rather slimy channel?

Darko has a rather slimy channel? Now I've heard it all. 

Did you notice he's been allowing comments again on his youtube channel for the longest time as long as you speak like an adult? 

Too much to ask? 

I couldn't care less about his butthurt.
I guess that answers that.

All the best,

darko's "snake oil" article looks totally competent from a grammar perspective...prose police are seething but hey, that's what they do

@chrisohea,

"Errr....stop reading the reviews of writers who cannot write/communicate clearly...This problem is everywhere, an epidemic in the 21st century."


There is always that.

You know the old saying, follow the money?

Well it seems as if we are living in the age of ever increasing sheeplike conformity as they blindly go about sniffing for the next dollar.

Hi-Fi journalists are really little more than hacks, especially now that they've largely  abandoned technical data in favour of ambiguous suggestions which serve as little more than dressed up advertising.

I used to tear out interesting magazine reviews (Hi-Fi Review etc) to keep and throw away the rest of the magazine, (the ones without any, I sold off for £1 on eBay just in case someone was interested). 

Apart from a few articles penned by Harvey Rosenberg, [ https://www.meta-gizmo.org/Tri/index-1.html ] and the writings of luminaries such as Gilbert Briggs, there's really hardly any worth a re-read.

Harry Pearson, you have an awful lot to answer for.
