    Perhaps he's been recognized for what he is. Perhaps a role as a senior journalist at Stuff? Nothing surprises any more.

    There was a Stuff article about some poor guy dying in a truck that went into a canal, it was so poorly written that you got the impression the dead guy was in a light truck that was pulled out of another truck in the canal...

    Sorry everyone but I had to comment after reading this from Northdude.
    Just because someone doesn't use the best grammar or punctuation doesn't mean that they deserve to have shit thrown at them because of it. What a bunch of self righteous tossers you come across as. I have worked with an old guy in the past and a young fella not to long ago who both struggled with the written language but when it come to doing their job in the engineering field and being a valued and skilled member of the team they matched anyone else and sometimes did better.

    Yep I've worked with people that couldn't even write or read or do maths but when it came to actually doing it with their hands it was some truly amazing work that would put a lot of the above the rest type of people with all the bits of paper to shame

    Agreed - also this is the litmus test for anyone who feels that they aren't as polished with their grammar and spelling - if someone who is good at these things talks down to you then they are a pompous twat

    My facility with language is above average and my ability to royally screw things up is also above average
