The OP generated a lot of strong negative reactions. But it also generated some strong positive reactions from programmers who share the author's frustrations and would enjoy working at a place where everyone punctuates impeccably. Like the author, my experience has been that programmers who care about language tend to write beautiful code.

I'm not looking for a job. But if I was, this article would make me more, not less, likely to apply.
