Disappointment with the grammar and spelling of some TA users
I've noticed that many of the forum discussions that TA has tweeted lately have contained glaring grammatical and spelling errors. I find this disappointing and even personally embarrassing as it inevitably reflects not only on the original poster but on the forum as a whole and, by extension, the larger atheist community. I know written communication isn't everything, and it certainly isn't a high priority among the public generally, but we should try to meet a higher standard. Given the unlikelihood that individual posters will suddenly take more care when writing, I think the operators of the site's Twitter feed should consider not tweeting discussion titles with serious errors.
That's one poster's opinion, for whatever it's worth.

@Lars - Aaannddd English is not your first language - whereas most of the people on this site speak only one - so you are doing REAALLLY well. I would guarantee there is bi-lingual-tri-lingual etc on this site. How clever are they?
I speak one, and that, not very well :) How many languages do you speak.

And my excuse is that I am dysfunctional, but I've never let that stop me --
You wouldn't be Italian, by any chance?

Sorry, Lars - just American humor, I mean, who could possibly have a name like Lars Nielsen, and not be Irish?
