I try to approach these things with positive intent and it could be that the lunatic is ESL (English as a second language).

Plenty of insane stuff in that post to call them out for without having to picking on their grammar.

I actually don't see the post as that nuts. He's got a point, some folks just want to get a name on their CV and HR people are shallow enough to value it.

My point in being pedantic is that three language in a corporate setting is based on business English. Companies deal with loads of people from different countries and cultures. However, a self-styled leader and mentor ought to know better as the language used can captivate or put people off.
