I know that Muktware is for the uneducated masses, but I was assuming that uneducated part was only concerning Linux. I couldn't read the post even till the first screenshot, the level of language is unacceptable for an online english journal. Please, get an editor who cares about quality over quantity. |

Quoting:I couldn't read the post even till the first screenshot, the level of language is unacceptable for an online english journal. Seriously? I've seen native English speakers who can't write as well. What's with the foreign blog criticisms lately? |

Read my blog lately? I butcher the language in ways yet unimagined. |

So did Shakespeare and look where it got him. |

Whats wrong with the language?
Maybe it is not exactly the same as your kindergarten teacher showed you, but if you care to go on a variety of forums and read the language there ( from native English and Americans ) , you probably will withdraw your comment. AFAIAC it's just fine as it is. Of course, learning to read also will help :-) |

@djohnston, jezuz christopher, Muktware writes better english than most native speakers of the language. Are you having an off day? |

It would appear, from his description of his difficulties reading the article, that he gave up at the point where the author's name was listed. |

Its perfectly readable, |

@dJohnstone, my appologies that should have been directed at GERGE. |

The style of writing is basically taking spoken English and putting it in writing. I've seen native English speakers do it for effect for an entire book, not just for dialog. The net result is the grammar and sentence structure is not textbook. It reads like the author is talking to you. That's unusual for technical articles but it certainly isn't unreadable and the author clearly has very good command of the English language. |

Yep, in my most eloquent utterance of perfect English..... "He done good." |
