Hi, David...I took no offense to your comment. In reality,
my comment was commentary on the quality of the writing from
our profession. It kills me that we haven't justified
ourselves when compared against that type of writing.
What SHOULD be happening is that those who are making the
decision of us/them should be saying "I don't care how much
I'll save, my local writers are SO much better." But
apparently, that is not the case.

Well, I did qualify my statement by saying "bordered on."
Where I got the idea was that the original post quoted a
passage of awkwardly-written documentation written by a
non-native speaker. I realize the intent was to comment on
the company that hired the writer, but it could be
misinterpreted.
