I too am getting impatient but with poor English unfortunately.
There's just so many times I can read there telescopes or some other unsolicited variation that is beyond reckoning.
Poor eyesight does make life difficult though and you have my commiserations and even sympathy - to be an astronomer with a sight impairment must be akin to being a racing driver with one eye.
I blame the newspapers and in particular The Guardian for the pathetic level of English language portrayed in the daily rags.
Sadly, every day I see worse and worse interpretations of grammar and dialect.
There are something like 2 billion people who supposedly speak English and I'd warrant that only 5% can actually write competently.
