I read this while at work on Thursday, and couldn't fully understand the statement, but thought it was my overworked, unrested brain playing tricks on me once more.  But reading it again just now, reminds me of the common trend in our language expression(s).

Many years ago I bought a book authored by a well known basketball player, who had recently graduated from college.  The excitement in reading it was quickly dashed by the amount of poorly constructed sentences, and horrific grammar.  While I can overlook a few errors in any reading/writing, I barely got through the book's first two chapters because I had to re-read most sentences and paragraphs to make sense of what was written.  My frustration was so high that I put it in a drawer for several months, but attempted to read it again during the new basketball season.  This time with a red ink pen in hand, I edited the entire book.  The reading was not enjoyed, and the author's misuse of homonyms (you're and your, too and two, their and there, right and write, etc.) throughout the book was disappointing.
