They asked whether this paper was worth reading, because the English wasn't conventional in their dialect.
I'm pointing out that that isn't a good way to screen papers, because most English speakers don't share the same dialect.
Perhaps unstated or understated is the implication that, were you to discard papers in this way, you're liable to miss out.
I'll leave it to you whether that added information. That wasn't really my goal in this case, my goal was to respond to the question in the manner I viewed appropriate. Feel free to downvote my comment if you don't feel it was appropriate or informative or otherwise didn't uphold whatever criteria you're judging it by.

You did not make that clear at all. > Perhaps unstated or understated is the implication that, were you to discard papers in this way, you're liable to miss out. Indeed, that implication was totally missing. > Feel free to downvote my comment if you don't feel it was appropriate or informative or otherwise didn't uphold whatever criteria you're judging it by. I would certainly do so. Like their paper, it is quite poor, and not helpful for this forum. Unfortunately, /u/dang has removed my ability to downvote.
- maxbond 3y agoAlrighty. Thanks for the feedback. Have a great day. (For what it's worth, I often feel my comments are too long and wordy, and occasionally I've gotten feedback to that effect, so I was trying to be brief in my original comment.)
- bt1a 3y agoi understood your original comment :) totally agree that dismissing the content of a paper for its grammatical mistakes alone is foolish. this isn’t a paper about classic roman literature
