The point is, you have no metric to base your statement on (either the 90% 
claim, nor the "poorly written" claim). It seems to be something you just 
plucked out of the air.

I think you're engaging in a logical fallacy here. Just because Brian pointed 
out the weakness in your statement doesn't mean that he believes in the polar 
opposite.

Now, software has bugs. But I'm sure we could find just as many spelling and 
grammatical mistakes in the average post to the list. Does that mean that just 
about every here (90%) has a poor command of the English language?
