I know psychology. Someone with almost two thousand posts on one shadowrun forum, isn't going to 'Not' buy the new edition of a book due to a select few grammar errors. To say so is silly. I also have thousands and thousands of dollars in RPG books. They --all-- have grammar errors. Many much more egregious than what was listed above. It's the nature of the beast.
Apparently you do neither know alternatives to buying CGL-issue books, nor alternatives to buying PDFs altogether. And I doubt you know Psychology, except maybe from visiting a therapist. You'd not have written most of what you did if you did.

Out of curiosity, is the same trend true for the german books?
Fortunatly, no. They edit them, add in Errata, and even bind them all in hardcover. Little of CGL's shabby writing survives this. Not enough is done about the shabby storyline, but that might change in 5h edition, since the German writers are a bit frustrated with CGL's work as well.

Some people aren't happy unless they're complaining. That's all.
Some people just refuse to take sub-par quality, and instead complain about it. And then there's your kind of people, who look to aggrandise themselves by siding with the supposed betters and point at the supposed heretics. Just like a true Belieber. Aren't you, Pepsi?

So you're here, close to two thousand posts on the Shadowrun boards, and you're going to what, barrow a buddy's book to proof read for grammar before you invest money into buying your own? LOL
Obviously, correct writing isn't your top priority, but - while that may come as a shock to an American - not everyone thinks like you or has the same values. Yes, he might well do, or maybe buy the German book.

Again if it was just horrible horrible. I could understand it. I've got -a lot- of RPGs. Some of them are quite bad. Shadowrun's not that bad. It's about average for RPGs. If not slightly above.
That's like saying the Pinto was an average car. If you don't care about product quality, fine. Just don't pretend to be on the high horse and yell at those who do.
