Lex is outraged again. A magazine that retails for $15 should be more than just glossy pages and pretty pics. The exception of course is the hard core porno but I'm not talking about these.
Here is a sample from an article in the magazine with no author credited, let's just call hi Lei Xin.
Mr Lei Xin has difficulty grasping the English language.
Eventually giving thought maybe yesterday
more challenging for Mr Lei Xin express English in. That doesn't deter him writing article from that is published in this magazine yesterday.
The article being of a technical nature, makes it even what he is trying to say. My guess is that he was using one of those online translating programs to translate from English to language his.
Overall a good effort but not 100% successful. I wonder if this magazine has any proof readers or editors. Personally, if I had paid for this magazine, which I didn't, I'd be asking for my money back.

Reminds me of a letter once sent to Cecil Adams at the Straight Dope which was apparently written by Lei Xin too. It said "which do you like better- Chicago, or in the summertime?", to which Cecil replied "You're not from here, don't you?"
stucco, thanks for the link, Strait Dope is an excellent source of information.
