More butchering of the language (and an update)

“When you are paid to write on behalf of a party, your (sic) not a journalist. You are an advocate. When you are an advocate posing as a (sic) independent media, your (sic) are a fraud.”

This is infuriating. Someone who maybe gets paid for writing, and he makes fifth-grade mistakes. The Z Man has a habit of talking about African-American intelligence, as in lack of, and yet he continues to write such badly incorrect stuff that his points suffer.

For your own sake, man, read your stuff before posting!

Update

I posted almost all of this at Zman comments. The site author replied with: “Read this,” which was a link to http://gizmodo.com/study-people-who-point-out-typos-are-jerks-1767969516

The site does not say “jerks,” but “Type A a$$holes.”

So the Zman believes I am a Type A a$$hole because I recommend he pay closer attention to editing his copy. At times, I am an a$$hole. I’ve known that for a long time. I became an at-times a$$hole when I got my third stripe and continued with the first and second rockers. As an at-times a$$hole sergeant, I insisted people do the right things the right way. I was even a sometimes a$$hole as a newspaper editor and as a reporter when elected and appointed politicians exceeded their statutory authority.

I will continue to read Zman, and I will become infuriated if easily fixable grammatical mistakes appear in his writings. Zman thinks, which is not in plentiful supply these days.
