"it seems there is not as many articals as there used to be"
You evidently mean "it seems that there are not as many articles as there used to be".
Like an earlier poster, I make every exception for non-native English speakers. Language is very important and I can only wish to have learned more than one, myself. So I admire those journalists ==> but also agree that Tom's editors should fix their mistakes before publishing!
It doesn't matter if the content is free or not. Native speakers at least must stop "dumbing-down" English, and trashing our heritage! That includes not only spelling and grammar, but also vocabulary. We're headed for a modern version of Orwell's minimum vocabulary state, where people can only say "man thats like awesome it rocks dont u think" or "man thats like crap it sux dont u think". Don't accept this and don't descend to it! At least preserve what we've got left.
Gee, did I wander off-topic?
