Some people who comment here have English as second, third or forth language. I appreciate any suggestions for improvement and try to get a better grip on every foreign language I speak.
However, I think it's not necessarily being lazy if I don't master English like my native language.

“Knowing” all the technology in the world is quite useless if you are either too stupid or too lazy to know how to write and speak the common language. Successful people know this and use it to their advantage. Fools and loses just make lame excuses for their ignorance.

If you have to explain the reasoning behind proper grammar, it's a lost cause on people such as

@2pwq+18dXqCNB You're missing the point. In a professional setting, these subtle things can determine if a customer wants to work with you, or not. It may not sound fair or may be irrelevant, but it happens all the time.

Shut up you shakesPEAR lackies. Suddenly all of you guys become English tutors here. Thought you guys worked for a technology company ! No wonder we have lots of people who can just BS and talk and when it comes to technology, you are a big zero.

Isn't "looser" valid in the sentence "your trousers were a lot looser before you put on 20 pounds" ??
