Correct Grammar

I have downloaded many worksheets since I have been a member here, and I love this site. Thank you to all you wonderful people who have uploaded you wonderful worksheets.
I have to admit that many of the worksheets have grammatical errors that need to be corrected. Some of them are so outrageous and plentiful that I have had to either delete the worksheet or just about rewrite the text. It makes me wonder about the people who are teaching English today.
Today, I downloaded a worksheet that after 20 minutes of correction errors, at least one on each line, I just deleted the worksheet because I couldn �t understand the last line. I had no idea what this person was trying to say.

hello, did you write a comment to warn the people who will download this worksheet that there are a lot of mistakes? or - if you don �t want to do that - send a PM to its author saying that he/she should correct his/her ws before uploading them... we �re only human, so it �s normal to find a few mistakes in every worksheet - however if there are too many of them we must do something about that... have a nice day

1.Writing in the public forum of comments would be very embarrassing for the person/people who uploaded the worksheet.
2.I am not talking about regular human errors, I am talking about a basic lack of knowledge of English grammar.
3. Love your cats.
Hugs

Rating system?
Design? Content? Originality? Language?
Works fine on ebay, why not in a place like this ;o)
Leaving negative comments would poison the atmosphere, I think!

1- i wasn �t talking about leaving a post on the forum but about sending a "comment" after you downloaded the ws - usually I say "thank you", but when I spot a mistake or two, i just leave a comment so that the author and the people who will download the worksheet after me know about the mistakes and can correct them... 2- yes, i realized you were talking about "a basic lack of knowledge of English grammar", that �s why I say that if we spot too many mistakes we must do something - send a comment or PM the author... 3- glad you love my cats, they �re both really lovely, except when they wake me up around 7.00 am on a sunday morning... LOL
have a nice day!
