I'd like to think that creating a new issue in the issue tracking system would
work, but grammar-related issues don't seem to get much of a response from Walter:

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1351
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1466
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1905
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=949

Maybe he'd respond if a patch were offered? I don't know.
