You must realize that you annoy or frustrate not only English majors,
but the majority of hackers. Hackers tend to be very meticulous about
language (you have to be to spend your life writing programs in computer
languages with strict syntax), and therefore bad grammar and spelling
grates on us. Some more than others, and some tolerate it more than
others (hence the grammar nazi flamewars).
But you must do what you think is best, of course.
