While I found this article to be very informative, I do have to ask…. who wrote this? The grammar is unbelievably poor and appears to have been written by a high school student. Normally I would look past this, but the writer is doing no good for you guys by creating articles that are riddled with so many careless grammatical that it makes it unbearable to read.

Thanks and I look forward to upcoming articles,

Spencer Diwik
