I wept at ‘weeped’ — and bleeped the blog

I read a lot around the Internet. One political blog just got deleted from my list.

The blogger wrote “weeped.” I’m sorry, but if you can’t conjugate a common verb, you don’t deserve my time.

Typos, if not omnipresent, are bearable. Inexusable grammar is not. There are some sticky points and difficult issues in grammar that one may overlook. I can accept that. I’m no English expert myself, though I do make the effort to write acceptably.

“Weeped” falls so far beyond the tolerable that I cannot bear to return to the blog.

So I deleted him from my list of consulted sites, as I wept at the grievous wound which my mother tongue sustained.
