In no way shape or form is my English good enough to read that poorly written article.

The use of language. The assumption that the reader is educated on the subject like the writer was. For example, I personally did not understand what meme was until I had read after meme was used to describe something, taking a whole page of the article until after meme was used.

I may be able to top that. Someone wrote an article about me some years ago. The article was half a page, three columns wide. Despite the article being specifically about me - not something I had a hand in, not my take on something, just ME - I wasn't introduced until halfway through the second column. However, in the first column and a half, you'd find out that the author likes to Google things, and really thought that Peter Griffin saying "Testicles - that is all" on Family Guy was the funniest thing ever.

...oh, yeah, the gargoyle.
