“pretty much” should be hyphenated.

I hate it when people say “as well” instead of “too” or “also” or “and”.

Is “are pretty much jerks” good English usage?
To: Morgana
The phrase “pretty much” is a coloquialism and should not be in a written news report.

I'm sorry, but "pretty much" isn't proper grammar usage.

al also failed to properly use commas, and did not capitalize proper nouns.

Guilty as charged. But I do it to be helpful, not to be superior or dismissive.

Scientific studies show that people who don't bother to proof their informal writing, even casually, are likely to be sloppy, poor thinkers who hold themselves to no standards.
This might make the people rude enough to point out their errors jerks, but it doesn't change the kind of people they are either.

Hitler's name should be capitalized..and you didn't end your sentence with a "period".

They are also ironically, poorly educated. English is one of the few languages on earth with no rules, and no “Academie Francaise”. English is the fastest, most adaptive, most useful language on earth. If it falls into common usage, and becomes accepted, its “English”.
A person enforcing the “rules” today is simply revealing their own ignorance.
The others are nowhere close.
