Ok, you got me. I read about a paragraph and a half and was getting PISSED. Then a part of my brain said, “Wait! Something’s up. No one is THIS consistently bad at writing, even on the internet. Pure chance would have gotten a few more things RIGHT!”

I thought I was coming down with the Old-Timer’s Disease reading that.
(I have actually heard clients referring to Alzheimer’s thusly. I am simply quoting, no mockery or snark intended.)

Going into it, I started to think the subject was the spelling and grammar of pro-Trump memes.
