I agree. If someone points out a valid issue. I will address it.
However, this has been blown way out of all proportion.

I do not have a "poor" command of the English language in the slightest.
I have an *average* command of the English language. Do you have any
idea just how many are illiterate? I just write more, so there are more
visible mistakes.

Being "not good" is not being "bad". There is a middle ground. Its so
easy, to ignore the 99% that's right when only 1% is wrong. The 1%
failures are what stick out. If I design 100 circuits and one fails, am
I a bad designer?

That's why this whole thread is joke. If I was as bad as what the
overall feel is coming across in this thread, I would be spending all
day slapping my wrist with my other left hand.
