The author might as well be spitting into the wind. No one cares about your pedantic opinion on a common and grammatically acceptable usage.

- simonh 6y agoAnd yet you presume that others here care enough about your opinion to post it for us. Presumtuous? No, you're entitled to your opinion and so is the author, and it's for the opinions of others that we all come to forums like this.
- mc32 6y agoI agree with the author. Inserting brackets derails the flow. People know what a verbatim quote is. You don’t have to “translate” the pronoun. I’ve seen an uptick in this trend and it’s as welcome as pedantic ‘sics’ inserted into other people’s quotes.
- superjan 6y agoFor best effect you can insert bracketed additions, and add a SIC to point out the spelling error the author did not choose to fix.
