after their calls for a name change to the historic site, which is named after a slave owner, have went unanswered.

Have went? More proof that no one, I mean NO ONE, uses editors and/or proofreaders anymore.

As a stickler for good grammar, this drives me crazy (and it wasn't a long drive to begin with).;-)

Possibly they DO use editors and proofreaders, but that the editors and proofreaders were educated in the “everyone graduates” school districts we hear about so much these days.

(FYI, my first reaction to the post was also a cringe due to the “..calls have went....” usage.)
