11) Writing correct English
[or was it auto-translated from some other language?]
- aerique 14y agoI read it assuming the writer's main language was not English. Given that, it wasn't too bad a read.
- chris_wot 14y agoI think the substance was pretty good. There's no need to nit-pick on his English - especially if it isn't his first language! His English isn't that bad, and nothing about his post shows any evidence that he isn't an experienced programmer.

- eliben 14y agoMy comment was not meant to mock the author. I truly believe, though, that writing syntactically and grammatically correct and comprehensible English is a very important skill every programmer should have. Code comments and documentation are an important part of our craft.
- aerique 14y agoI agree completely but people will be at different stages in their proficiency. It is good that the author felt confident enough to write the blog. His skills will only improve from that. (I'm not happy with my own English. It has deteriorated a lot since grammar school. My spoken English is worse than my written English.)
