"Learning English" and being a Grammar Nazi are 2 different things.

I would never have called him out on this were it not for essentially claiming that he is a professional writer and has the degree to prove it. When you flat out lie like this, it makes the rest of us look bad. Furthermore, he wants 1 BTC per 1000 words (due to his extensive knowledge of the English language), although he, again, is lying to earn money.

You can tell based on the press releases posted on BitcoinPRBuzz alone that he is far less than professional. This leads me to believe that he is attempting to use trickery and false claims to get paid more by people who otherwise don't know better. I have morals and I can't see myself sitting by while things like this happen. They destroy the reputation for each and every one of us, so when people do things like this it has a direct effect on me as well.

I'm not saying it is a problem to point out his errors, I am saying that there is a difference between "Learning English" and being a Grammar Nazi.

I don't see where this comes from, though.

I'm coming from a few posts ago, where I said something like "I didn't know that was supposed to be like that" and you said "English is not a hard language to learn".

Actually, Boelens said "English is not a hard language to learn."

I would like to counter that - for non-native speakers - English is one of the hardest languages to learn due to the meaning of many words being based upon its context.

Read the context. This is all based on Psybits insinuating that he's a professional English writer with a honorary degree to prove it. With all the mistakes he makes, there is no way this is possible (or he went to a horrible school). The comment about English being easy or hard to learn isn't based on everyone; it is based on Psybits not knowing even the basics still, even after supposedly graduating with an honorary degree.

Context, context, context.
