Proof-reading?

Umm, I think it would be more professional on the main website if they had someone who had English as their native language to proof-read the articles before some are submitted.

note: This is not trying to be a bash on Stefan or Unix at all. I know how hard it is to learn another language, and we all know they are 10 times better than they used to be, but I just think it would look more professional.

The funny thing is, most people who's first language is english have horrible grammar anyway. Or so it seems through what I've observed both locally, and over the internet. Chances are there's at least one grammatical error in what I'm writing right now. Even while proof-reading things I make mistakes. It took me several go-overs before I noticed that I used the word "sew" in a poem I wrote, where I should've used the word "sow".

*shrug*

I see nothing wrong with the site, maybe they do get someone to proof read some of it

Independent clause followed by an dependent clause doesn't need a comma. Although, starting the sentence with a coordinating conjunction (or) is incorrect.
