From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You write a description for your application in a language you are not confident in. You are aware you could have made errors, yet you don't take the time to check it with a grammar checker. It's a simple process and takes seconds.

I'd like to point out again that language mistakes have been made in a language-related application. Constructive criticism is fine. The developer will learn from his mistakes.
At least it's a marketing mistake. People who use poor grammar are not typically taken seriously.

"I find it more compelling to read such a description in obviously non-native English..."

Not everyone agrees, that's subjective.

You have access to the text. Start a stopwatch. Edit the text using grammar-checking software. Post it somewhere on the web, fully-formatted and suitable for marketing purposes. Stop the stopwatch. Publish how long it took you.

We'll review your work.

Yes. This whole thread is subjective. And?
