Although using 'correct' grammar is an important part of
writing, I don't think that anyone here - especially me -
claims to be an English expert.
After all, if that were the case, we would be tearing apart
the 'American' spelling of English words such as
COLOR (correct spelling: COLOUR). Admittedly, this is a
pet peeve of mine but since all programming languages and
most documentation I've seen have used these, I just sit
back and use what's there while I quietly grind my teeth.
Now to the point:
-
As long as the document can be easily understood without
a lot of ambiguity, we should leave any grammatical errors
as they are.
-
Be thankful,or at least appreciative, that there is a
tutorial around to help those who need it.
-
If there is a serious problem with the grammar, simply
/msg the author and explain your concern.
This is just my opinion but I think that we can be much
more productive and helpful to one another by letting a few
little grammatical errors slide.
