There was a lot of correspondence generated by that essay.
It would be nice if all linux advocates bothered to learn to use correct English grammar and spelling, but, such is life.
No worse than many teachers in the U.S. Government schools.
My gracious, How many people anywhere do you hear use the nomnitive case of the personal pronoun after an intransitive verb? Always use the objective form after a preposition or a transitive verb? Split infinitives? As a retired teacher it blows me away the language I hear "educators" use. They make up more verbs from nouns and nouns from vebs and ... I can hardly stand it. There are plenty of fine words in the English language. Politions are as bad or maybe worse. If decent English isn't used at home or corrected when used anywhere it just gets worse and worse. Teachers at work used to give me a lot of static when I would correct them.
END RANT
sorry,
Bob
