When you stop writing, I stop reading
A review for Gears of War was the latest to fall under the common 'equal work' rule of Internet 'writing.' As soon as the author stops writing the article, I have to stop reading; any other action takes time away from articles which are written completely, and I don't have time to waste on both types.
By 'writing', I include at least a few minutes proofing the article before sending it off; then a good look over it after it's finally rendered within the final page, just to ensure everything is as it should be. When actual errors are found, they should be fixed; correcting 'their' to 'there' is not the same as reversing a stance on abortion.
This author forgot how to write English, part of the way through the article. That's where I stopped reading. Before that, though, it was a great article. However, I only read a few languages, and Slack-Jawed Yokel is a dialect of English I refuse to learn. Again, it's all about reserving my brain cells for learning something, more than just coddling the unlearned masses.
