Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews.

I find the majority of formal audio reviews across numerous publications to be easy reads.  However, I can barely put together a coherent thought when reading anything by Jason Kennedy, editor of the-ear.net.  It is as if he does not understand the limitation of use of a comma.  Do the English really have that much of a different implementation of the english language versus Americans?  Does anybody else struggle to read certain editors' work?

Writing on this forum is frequently very poor.

Interestingly on this post about grammar I have carefully scanned everyone's writing and find only a single slip.  That's the very commonplace and dreaded redundant apostrophe in the post above.
Sorry papa, that's totally annoying.

Must be the subject matter that's made everyone pull up his socks.

Long may it continue.  I'm going out to feed the chicken's.

Interesting comment above:  "Americans don't write good English."
This is clearly an over-generalisation but there is some truth in it.

I find it ironic that Americans are at the same time killing English as I older English people knew it and spreading and perpetuating English and its influence all around the world.

We English probably ought to be pleased.
