The very first sentence: "By default after instalation and creting database cluster PostgreSQL will listner only on localhost."

Bit worried about the quality of the content, based on the quality of the proofreading.

I already fixed this :) Sorry for mistake - I’m native polish speaker, english is my second language

No worries. It's my second language too. Though I always have spell and grammar check running on my editors!

My guess is that English is a second language for the author.

It's unlikely that someone who can form longer sentences still struggles with the orthography of common words.

Based on what? People misspell all the time.

I don't know why this feeling persists. The ability to proofread or write free of spellings is a skill completely unrelated to the underlying content. Complaining about the spelling just seems childish at this point. We live in a world full of mistakes and problems. Dealing with life despite of them is a fundamental life skill.

There's definitely a middle ground here. I have been in academic contexts where every sentence has to be absolute perfection before we submit for publication. Thats overkill, for sure, but there is merit to proofreading as a sign of legitimacy of the argument itself. Some dude literally wrote this text and didn't even re-read the post before publishing. Clearly, he's either the greatest expert at technological things that it's second nature to him even more than LANGUAGE, or he just did a shoddy job on both sides. Unless I see the name to be Linus Torvalds or something, I'm just going to assume this post is low quality in general.

It's not about the ability, but the willingness. I think it would be amoral to tolerate those bums who externalise costs onto the reader. https://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/strikeout/
