Horrendous writing. Good grief!

I am normally not a grammar Nazi, but you are 100% correct. Someone tell the writer about sentence structure, how commas properly separate clauses, and the concept of Object-Verb.

I swear, so many journalists today write like they were sending a drunken text.

And editors have clearly gone the way of the dodo.

Grammar is not taught in public schools.

Why should we think they're not?

Maybe their parents bribed the University of Journalism to get them in as athletes.
