View original postCan you try to rewrite that last sentence with at least a 4th grade level of writing skill? That might be helpful as a prerequisite to convincing me (or anyone else on this site) that your opinions are worth debating seriously.
I for one understood what he was saying despite the errors. I'm not sure whether you actually didn't understand it and genuinely require a clarification, or if you just chose to focus on form over content as that was easier to critique. Either way, the '4th grade' comment is pretty silly; if you're assigning levels to writing like that, it's generally understood that this is based on the complexity of the ideas and the vocabulary, not on the number of errors.
Terrible thing in Manchester last night.

That reasoning only works if you view Daesh as a monolithic entity, though.
