The authors of news posts/reviews fucking PROOFREAD!!!!
I've been an avid Aintitcool reader for many years, mainly because they often get good scoops on upcoming developments. Plus I genuinely like a few of their writers. And I have a morbid curiosity for Harry's ramblings.
But... does ANYONE on their fucking site read their own writings EVEN ONCE before they post shit? I read more incorrect grammar on that site than any other "reliable" news site. And not just slightly incorrect comma usage or something, but shit that gets me hung up where I have to stop and wonder what the hell they mean.
Take this shining example from Harry's latest DVD column:
I suppose I’ll need to give this a try starting back with Season One, because try as I might, I couldn’t make my way through much of the season without making a baldspot scratching my noggin to figure out exactly what they had done to Superman. As you can tell, I haven’t followed SMALLVILLE and I don’t seem to much like what of it, I have seen – but like so much serialized television, you owe it to yourself to give it a look from the beginning. So at some point I’ll do that, but for now – I can say the Blu-Ray is gorgeous, of course, and is brimming with extras, so if you are a fan of the series – you’re obviously set to pick this sucker up.
WHAT!? Jesus, I wonder how many of them have passed elementary grammar/writing.
THANK YOU, Chud, for consistently posting coherent writings with only occasional slip ups/typos. AICN seems to have three major ones in every single post.
