There is a young man over on Publish0x, recent college grad, interned in Congress, who tries to write articles on DeFi related stuff. I painfully read his articles for what is sometimes good content, ignoring all the spelling errors and grammar mistakes.
I am so so tempted to comment and ask if he proof reads before posting. Also, I'd like to suggest to him to turn on his spell check and sign up for Grammerly - its free.
Depending on his content I do tip him. But only at 20%.

That's a good idea. I use Grammarly and it's a very useful little tool.
I like to think that my English is at a decent level but because I have no formal education on that language I make a lot of grammar mistakes and that thing really covers my ass most of the times lol

You might as well. If he doesn't learn what is wrong then he will never fix it. I would prefer if people told me directly so I can do better next time.

Might be valuable to suggest that to him.
These kids grew up in the age of texting so proper writing is not something they think about.

No doubt. From time to time my kids would show me a text they sent or one they received. I didn't understand a word of it with all the abbreviations. And we will not discuss the spelling...well it made me wonder what the hell our schools are teaching them.
And... they wouldn't know subject or predicate from their ass if it wasn't attached.

You know the answer to that. They are being conditioned.

Conditioned in all the wrong ways. Civics - gone. 1619 Project curriculum - bullshit. Math - hell they can't add. English - half can't read 3rd Grade Level and writing skills, forget about it.
Yup, a lot to be proud of in the American Educational system!
