To be a “tech” writer for websites nowadays, it seems a requirement that English orthography be disregarded. One example of many:
“From retail stores to residential homes LEDs hold the promise of better durability and a longer lasting light but more important they use less energy than a standard incandescent bulb.”
Two written syntax errors and one grammar error in one sentence. And the writer got paid for doing that. *sigh* I’ll not link the source, but this sentence is just one example of many in one short blurb that is much, much more literate than most.
I’m not sure that came from a “tech” writer, or that there is such a thing. It was probably written by the idiot who owns the site. Anyone can throw a website up, nowadays.
The blurb I cited was from an online e-mag from a major publisher, Mel. *feh* They can’t even hire people who are minimally subliterate.
Well then, double shame on them.
