worthwhile to look into the interesting World Language
Process (worldlanguageprocess.com) for information about the serious
problems of English orthography.
Just as one example, studies show that in comparison to other European
children, English children are far behind in reading skills. The
reason is the absurdly irregular orthography of English. Scholars and
writers have meticulously documented and discussed these problems for
several centuries, but we have yet to see a widely accepted solution.
Some day we will.
I also prize good grammar and spelling, but the fact is that our
language needs improvement. Some folks are working toward that end.
Errors by supposedly professional journalists, are, of course,
unacceptable, and trivial errors on a list like this can be a source
of frustration for some readers. However, taking "time out" to learn
more about the orthography problems might be more rewarding and
productive than continuing the vituperative exchange that prompted this
message.
