Verbosity, thy Name is NDTV
Found this little turd from a grammar poor writer on the NDTV web site today. Some quotes:
"From the very beginning even in their infancy, video games were able to capture the hearts and minds of all..." - No shit! So infancy is what happens in the beginning? Here I was thinking people came down to earth as fully grown adults.
"...and it's just a matter of time before video games become as big as Hollywood..." - Uh...that happened about 3 years ago already. Or didn't you hear. Can you say research?
"Present day computer games very realistic and detailed. However they are are much more resource intensive too." - Its language, not math. You can't skip a word in one sentence and then make it up in the next one. No really, you can't!
"There is more interactive entertainment and at present is bigger than movies." - Oi! If you're going to contradict yourself, at least have the decncy to do it on the next page or something.

Heh. NDTV and all other news channels hordes are picked from some hobo english major colleges in the city. The programming is appalling and so is the bally language.
True. What does it say about you as a writer when you can't write four paragraphs without repeating yourself, contradicting yourself and being wildly innacurate. Not a whole lot me thinks. Anyway, you should be the one to talk sam! You were on the show that this article is affiliated to, remember? :)
