As a long-time editor and a several-term teacher of English at the
university level, I am not surprised by the lack of language skills among

I recently picked up the print version of this group's newsletter:
http://www.scopeny.org/

It contained an article about a guy who felt he'd been charged too much for

I dropped a note to the president of the group, offering to edit his
newsletter in return for (perhaps) free membership. He responded, saying
he'd re-read the article and saw nothing wrong with it. Amazing.
