Word use

Our local paper is beyond bad, and the readers who write in contribute greatly to that badness by displaying their ignorance of grammar and proper sentence construction.

This morning's version of "The Vent" - a regular Saturday feature wherein readers can submit letters without signing their names - really got me hopping.

The writer starts out with "It's a sunny Sunday afternoon as I 'set'on my patio..." That is followed by "As I 'have sit' here..." And that's just the first 2 sentences!

Arrgh! And double Arrgh!
