"She Hate Me" the new movie by Has-been Director, Spike Lee, will bomb, much like all his flicks, minus "Do the Right Thing", which seems more, and more like a fluke.
Spike Lee, or Jones?

Your criticism is filled with insights, just as you knowledge in proper English punctuation. Spike Lee is an excelent filmaker, exuding great vision through the art of film. By depriving him of his great artistic endowment by your confounded words (e.g. bomb, blah blah) can only mean two things: you lack the proper American historiography and knowledge of filmaking, and that you are politically biased, by whatever reasons, in your opinions....I encourage the author of the comment to read and explore the unthinkable and to educate yourself.

Perhaps if we examine some of our own "mistakes", we can then begin to accept others': (-just) as you(+r) knowledge (-in)(+with) proper...[not parallel]; excel(+l)ent film(+m)aker; (-By) (^D)epriving...two things [No subject...can be fixed in other ways]; (+Y)ou lack...; film(+m)aking; and (-that) you are...[not parallel]; (-the author of the comment) (+you) [not parallel with the rest of the post...this may be considered as more of a style issue]; (reword=to read and explore the unthinkable and to educate yourself) [ambiguous]. These are only some of the superficial (in the literal sense, no negative connotation intended) "errors" in your post. Different folks have different beliefs regarding the precise purpose of "proper" English (proper any language) - I am thinking the study of it is to aid in efficient communication. Perhaps you could ask some higher-up language professors and see if there is a "right" way to say something. Some might answer 'yes', but I would suspect many would answer 'no'. I write this for fun mostly, and I intend no ill will towards you. I also claim not to be an expert in grammar. I do, however, wish you luck in your education, as I believe it will benefit the both of us.
