It's difficult to ascertain whether or not Monsignor Gracchus is, indeed, serious.  Surely he must be aware that many participants herein have cut - rate set - ups which do not afford them spell check, grammar review, and autocorrect. 

And as for one expecting clear thinking on a list such as this -- heaven forefend, sir, heaven forefend!  Perhaps such a delusionary state is a result of one not having regular vowel movements.  In such case a generous dosage of Milk of Amnesia would appear to be indicated. Il n'y a pas de quoi!

  remember what happened when they didn't ship those vowels to the
  balkan's in time?  well, i don't want to be an alarmist, but i see
  increasing signs of trouble.  dangling participles, incorrect tense,
  problematic subject-verb agreement, and most shocking, sentences
  completely LACKING predicates (see my other, more impassioned post).
  stop the madness.  clear writing denotes clear thinking.  it's all
  become just such a muddle.  if not now, when?  if not us, who?  i mean
  whom.  no, i guess who is right . . . i just don't know anymore.
