  You know you really don't need to tear down his work because you don't like the way it reads. Lots of the missing articles are around command line arguments, where the correct usage is ambiguous anyway. I don't find it distracting.

The consumer is given the option to pay nothing, or whatever is reasonable according to their own valuation. If you as the consumer value the work less because it fails to conform to language rules, then you are actually invited to decrease the compensation given by you to the author.
