InOBU has been very open about why one may find mistakes in his postings. It is because of a learning disability. I am sure he is not the only one, so I hope you most pendantic among us will cut them some slack, too, even with English as their first language.

Yes, I give a damn about the language, too, so much so that I was fired by a high school English teacher for being too strict in grading her pupils' papers! I am pleased to say that when my writings reach an actual editor, very few changes are made and virtually no mistakes in spelling or grammar are found. I found out quickly that in a forum such as this, with instant reparte', it took up too much time and energy to get too worked up about it and, therefore, I do not hold myself to the same standards as when writing for a publisher. And, I dare say, most could care less.:-)
