Russian language on Habré

    Recently, with the growth in popularity of Habrahabr, a slight increase in illiteracy in published articles began to be noticed.

    Of course, I understand that Habrahabr is primarily for people related to IT, and is conducted by these same comrades. And I’m personally interested here: rather narrow-profile information is presented, and it is presented with a soul and in a convenient form, but I can name a few Runet sites where there are as many interesting, concise and related topics. And that the profile of these people is not linguistics. But it is the elementary illiteracy of both authors and commentators that is depressing. Probably, you can’t even say about out-of-bound cravings, it’s on RuNet for a long time and even on decent news sites, where before the publication of news, its text passes through the corrector. In one of today's poststhere is the phrase “The abundance of graphics and tests on the main page interferes with the user ...”, it is clear that we are talking about the “abundance of text” on the “main page”, but the publication of such a Yandex employee in the semi-official blog of the latter does not seem to be very good.

    What can be offered? For example there is orphus.ru, many probably know him and even know how it works. I think it will not be difficult to implement this tool on Habré and enable anyone (or a registered? Or happy owner of a small habrasila?) To select words or sentences with errors and send the article to the author. Thanks to this, any boring person like me will not have to litter the comments with whining not related to the topic of the article, the posts will become even more enjoyable to read, and, finally, Habr will be less like the administration of the Ulyanovsk region , forgive me its inhabitants!
