Hmmm...Based on this writing sample, it looks like that person has the requisite qualifications for employment at CNN...

"An restaurants really need to stop selling deserts too." - a guy on facebook who's mad that CVS no longer offers cigarettes for sale.

Yeah! Too much sand, man.

If he's unconcerned, or rude about it, then you can return the sediment and soberly tell him to stop it ...

Naaah. I'd just leave it in the bottom of the wine bottle. Of course by then I would hardly be sober.

From...an undisclosed forum:

"Supprized that dork didn't leave his cart in the parking space to let it roll into and t-bone another parked vehicle. When the whole vehicle rocks back and forth because you had to jam your breaks on that hard at 5 MPH, it was too close."

Obviously, another member of Mensa.

LOL, some of these are funny! I have a degree in English, though, and I'm not really anal-retentive about the use, and occasional abuse, of English. I forget certain spelling rules in other languages, so someone from another country could easily accuse me of not having a good command of his or her language. It does sometimes give one an air of superiority, though, to be able to rip apart a truly terrible grammatical mishap. We are the grammar police--keeping the language safe since 1884.

"I think the OP is looking for good, objective advise."

"Isn't it nice she can get advise from people from different areas."

All three are in different posts by the same author in the same thread.
