I noticed that, but mostly it's the sole way to talk to ignorants
2) The timing of the email was quite sensitive, being on the anniversary of his friend's (a 'metric martyr') death.
didn't know that.

yeah, noticeds that too.
Either typed to fast or he isn't a native speaker.
With a name like "jones" you will have to believe me thathe'll be a native
