A game called PirateFi released on Steam last week and it contained malware. Valve have removed the game two days ago.
Users that played the game have received the following email:
There is a reply in that thread mentioning grammar errors in the email which I’m not seeing. Could someone who knows English better than I explain what is wrong in that email? Or is it about grammatically wrong sentence structure?
Grammar’s fine. Sentence structure in the third paragraph (the largest one) is a bit clumsy I guess. Maybe there’s a quibble about semantics in “you may also consider fully reformatting your operating system” - you reformat a drive and reinstall an OS. But grammar all seems fine IMO. I am a native speaker, I’ve certainly seen worse from my fellow countrymen.
“you may also consider fully reformatting your operating system”
Could be for the layman who does not understand the difference between OS and drive. Remember not everyone using steam actually knows how their pc works or even what is inside of it
I’m not a native speaker either, but I see maybe one minor mistake. I think that person is overreacting, or maybe just doesn’t actually know English grammar that well.
