And these guys are English teachers?

"A more authoritarian position" does NOT mean the same thing as a position of more authority. And the person who wrote this is an English teacher. Ugh. I know it was just on a discussion group, but these kinds of errors pop up ALL the time on this particular board, and nearly everyone on it is an English teacher in Japan.

"he also weighs inproportionally less."

What the heck does that even mean!? I imagine the writer meant to say "He weight proportionally less." But the writer made up a new word.

Also, "keep it respectively clean."

I shouldn't get worked up by this, but these people are supposed to be teaching English.
