Perhaps a hint of the submitter's first language not being english.
Far worse is perpetrated in the language of slashdot submissions. Overuse of 'apt to', 'slated to be', 'stated that', as well as tiresome colloquialisms like 'called out', which is present in this submission and is far worse than the minor grammatical error.
English is not my first language either, but I don't mind when I get CALLED OUT on it (there!). My reasoning is that what does not kill one makes one stronger, like they say in my country, and that the grammar fiends might be pests but they that tend to be peaceful and pacifist pests. I tap my head to the pestifists.
