Some writers should consider another format, such as oral story telling, film-making, or photo-essay. Yes, find some other method of communication that doesn't involve spelling, grammar and punctuation. I'm all for supporting my kindred struggling authors, but damn it! Edit your freaking work before you inflict it on me, especially for a review!
I don't say this lightly. I edited my novel for ten years before I allowed a single soul to see it, and even after it was checked by a professional editor, re-checked by me and published (in eBook form) by a mainstream publisher, I still found a few stray errors. So I know it's difficult. But let's face it. If you don't even know the rule, it's not a typo. For the love of literature, please! At least make an attempt. Just sayin'.
