Poorly written, lots of grammatical and spelling errors, and some just plain bullshit speculation, like so:
Since Wordpress is a self hosted solution there's an advantage to making sure it works on the most systems possible, keeping the requirements for hosting it low. To do this the code has to keep a certain low IQ to accommodate the many varied circumstances it might be installed on. While I don't know of specific instances where this happens I have to image[sic]...
So, you're assuming the code has a "low IQ" because it needs to run on a lot of platforms. Does the Linux kernel have a similarly low IQ? What about the Apache web server that serves the majority of the web? What, pray tell, is a low IQ for code? I've written a lot of code in my days, and none of it could ever pass an IQ test. Does that mean I write shitty code?
Then, in the very next sentence, you go on to say that you have no specific examples, and just decide to "image" some. Why not just say, "I don't know what I'm talking about, so I'll just make some shit up."
That was all I could take. I couldn't read any more.
I'm a proud user of Wordpress, and talk like this just pisses me off. Feel free to pontificate all you want about the future of blogging. I'll do so as well:
* Wordpress will be around for much longer than you think, just like built-by-hand "homepages" are still around today.
* Twitter has not killed blogging, RSS feeds, email, or anything else.
* Proofreading will continue to be a skill that serves all bloggers, twitterers, and writers in general.
