    English ain't my first language either. The shit I write is full of spelling/grammar mistakes. Pick on me, y'all.

    You can have all the spelling and grammar mistakes you have as an individual chatting with other individuals.

    But when you're the person writing content for Neopets.com in its English language distribution then there should be some expectation that what you write should at least make sense.

    Congratulations to ... the Neopian times? What's that even mean?

    It means they used canned text meant for offering congratulations to contest winners of some sort (gallery spotlight, poetry contest what have you) rather than saying simply The latest Neopian Times has been released!

    It wasn't a criticism of english as a second language. It was a criticism of lazy work.
