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?

@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.

DS,


I often pore over them anywhere from three to five times entirely in order refine my thoughts and to purge any improper grammar that I discover.

Just like glory (and yes, I'll dutifully spell his screen name without a cap), I relentlessly edit, re-edit and polish my chat room posts before sending them on their way. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the way I post 'em is the way I want 'em.
