There is something else I'd like to criticize, but it's on the opposite side. I've seen pastas in which the person either makes it obvious or outright says that English is their second language, and in the comments section someone says, "Your grammar is terrible!" without doing anything to correct it. If someone makes grammatical errors, then you should correct them and leave a friendly message saying, "You did this and this wrong," or else one saying, "I cleaned up a few grammar mistakes," so the author can check the edit history to see what the mistakes were. Don't give me the argument that, "Oh, they might get mad!" That's a sorry excuse for an excuse. Personally I've never had someone get mad for me correcting their grammar or gently pointing out any mistakes. If they get mad, then that's on them and they deserve criticism. I don't like bad grammar either, but if all you do is criticize it like you've never committed a word crime in your life, then you're not helping the pasta, the author, the quality of the author's future work (How can they correct their grammar if you don't tell them what needs correcting?), or your own reputation. I know that use of the WW might help this problem as well, but I had to get it off my chest.
