Simply due to the fact that a person has written columns that go to newspapers, magazines, television, and radio stations does not assert that he is equipped with skills required to coherently convey a thought or that he earn better that a C- on in a eight grade English Composition class.
For example, in the first sentence of the column, Dr. Boys reveals that he is unable to correctly spell Philip Caminiti’s name correctly.
His second paragraph begins with informing the reader that Caminiti will be supervised once he is released from prison and ends with his belief that parents who do not spank their children are child abusers.
From that point, Boys continues his rant, rambling from one thought to another abusing the exclamation mark as if it were a Caminiti parishioner’s two month old baby wetting her diaper.
I think it says something when he is published and more of his work is demanded. Are you judging content or form? Perhaps it has occurred to you that to be read, you must write to a public that feeds on a sixth-grade reading level. As did J. D. Salinger with "The Catcher in the Rye" as well as many short stories, novellas, and the like. BTW, the KJV fog index is on about the same level. In this article, Dr. Boys was able to express his ideas adequately to be clearly understood. However, if you have complaints, you might write to him and give him your thoughts on this. Here in FR, just trying to drag him down with ancillary and immaterial non-observations won't be very profitable, seems to me.

Or perhaps he was given an incorrect spelling from one of his resources. But I notice that he did OK on the rest of the words as found in the dictionary. However, in your first sentence above, did you mean "eighth" or was "eight" good enough to catch your meaning? And it might be more polished to say "in an eighth grade English composition class."
His second paragraph begins with informing the reader that Caminiti will be supervised once he is released from prison and ends with his belief that parents who do not spank their children are child abusers.
Yes, you did notice that this very lo-o-ong paragraph was a result of our poster failing to transcribe the paragraph divisions found in the original -- that was not approved by Dr. Boys, I suppose. If you had checked that out, you would have seen just a little difference in structure.

From another ranter, seems like. It looks that you just don't like the way this man parts his hair, but can't really find something in his theorem that you can put your finger on except his spelling and punctuation. Keep on!! I'm having fun! Give me more ammunition! I like exclamation points!
