I am also not being snarky. I am amazed how often you do not read what is written - by me and others. Your question is disingenuous. I was speaking English before you were born.

You probably also have trouble with English that lawyers use. And do not read technical journals that also remove and do not wast bandwidth with irrelevant (flowery) pronouns.

You clearly replaced the word 'some' with 'all'. That says nothing to disparage anyone. That is an obvious, quoted, and simple fact.

Now, if the English is problematic, an honest person quotes the offending sentence. And then posts a better versions. That is how people who do not want to argue therefore advance mankind.

Show me. Show me the offending sentence and how you would have written it. Then you are contributing; not trying to attack and argue.
