    The grammatical errors are a bit disturbing. I've edited PhD theses, and am unfazed by grammatical errors, but these are of the kind (such as concord errors) that are made by non-English speakers, or by uneducated English speakers. I expect academics to write ungrammatically in their efforts to sound learned: they use big words without making sure of the meaning or how to use it properly. However, concord errors are somewhat unusual, unless Mz Brown is not a native English speaker.
