Why is it so hard

How about this: No judge has ever thrown out a complaint or cause of action for an error of this nature. Any defendant who called the judge's attention to this would be laughed out of court, if not sanctioned for wasting the court's time. And juries very rarely adjust awards based on grammar.

In other words, perhaps the guy reviewing it gave it a quick read to be sure it stated a cause of action, if that. Put differently, he might have chosen to focus on what actually mattered. Difficult for the grammar-timmy to comprehend, I understand, but there you have it.
You really do get pissy about the funniest things. Who said anything about what a judge or jury would do? We weren't talking about how the lawyer was trying his case, we were talking about how the complaint was written, and not in the context of assessing the claim's validity or the quality of the lawyer's representation of Mr. Gest.

I like good writing. I like criticizing bad writing. Even when it doesn't "actually matter."

Don't be such a condescending tool.
