This is kind of mean, but...
...my god! The "english" you find on LJ sometimes. Not to channel some sort of scooby-do villian, but: "Kids today! Teh writing. Teh gramma. Teh spelling. It burns the eyes!"
I am a bad person. But if you are too, feel free to continue past the cut. Hee.
If you are somebody who frequents spnstoryfinders, you may have seen a new poster who is, a-hem differently abled (believe me, that's a generous description) when it comes to english. I read their requests posts and then took a little side trip to their LJ. "Gotta be a foreign speaker," I thought. Here's part of their request post:

Awesome. But scary. I fear for the future of the english language sometimes.
