By the way, Mrs. Karen Holst, in English, when you write the name of a country, you write it with a capital letter at the beginning. So, it is not "in southern sweden", but "in southern Sweden". Got it? Your article is a very bad mixture of the inverted pyramid technique for writing news. I wonder where The Local finds its staff.
Criticism of the the author of this post on her writing from one who is incapable of stringing together a sentence that is understandable or grammatically correct.
Pot calling the kettle?
"Do you remember a banana?"
-Nooooo????
Some posters write in their second or third language.
The author of the article, on the other hand, calls herself a journalist. Therefore some familiarity with grammar and punctuation is to be expected.
Surely even you are capable of understanding that posters who do not have English as their first language are not required to write perfect English in an informal discussion.
And since you are such a linguistic perfectionist, shall I list the dozens of examples of your own illiterate posts?
Several of your howlers are much worse than the poster you are bashing.
Pots, kettles....
As you lecture people on writing in English, I'd love to see how you write in Swedish!
By the way, Professor: It is LUKEWARM and not luke warm !!! (Luke is only used as a noun: name or evangelist - or adjective meaning evangelistic).
