Sometimes I Wish Tech Writers Spoke English

The impetus for this thought resurfacing today? A “white paper” titled,

“77 Features For Windows® 7 That Every IT Professional Should Know About”

“For”? I checked the paper out, and after reading the first section confirmed what I knew: the writer doesn’t know what “for” means. . . or “of” for that matter. Those are two words it’s a bit hard for English speakers to bobble as badly as this writer did.

Well, the writer was probably just a graduate of an American college sometime in the last decade or so.
