A recent blog post of mine has been called "the most badly written piece of garbled English I have ever read."

Wow. As someone who writes for pay as well as for joy, and whose writing has been complimented by tenured English professors, three of whom have asked me to collaborate with them, I never thought I could reach for such an achievement. Considering the garbled writing that exists out there, it's quite an accomplishment. Indeed, looking over the work in question, I am at a complete loss as to what I did that deserved such an evaluation.

If anyone wants to go over there and judge for themselves, I shall not object.

What you want to bet the person crabbing about your blog feels the opposite about the movies, so of course has to denigrate how you say it.

Looks pretty literate to me but as a mere English literature graduate and poet, what would I know?

That makes no sense, because your article makes perfectly sound sense. Sour grapes ahoy.

Reads perfectly well to me. I'm really not sure what he's complaining about.
