Come on Micheal, English isn't hard. Even an undergrad can write better than this.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoIf you mean the best undergrad in the world can write better than that yes, I agree. If you mean the median I would disagree since worse spelling mistakes are commonly made. Assuming everyone’s using a tablet with 15 seconds of free time and auto spell check turned off. What’s your point?

Our whole subthread is off-topic for this site, it was a mistake on my part to turn this around on you.

- MichaelZuo 4y agoRight, but I don’t claim that writing on HN is fundamentally hard, or that I went through a great effort to write comments here. And I would expect for someone to call me out on it if I did. Even the most charitable view of the parent comment would indicate that there was an erroneous belief that a perfect, or near perfect, map would only be finitely more difficult, and achievable in finite time. Whereas in reality the difficulty and time required asymptomatically approaches infinity.
