Now I see why we need these grammar girls :).
But then, we may need physics girls, maths girls etc etc...
I wonder why did the reporter feel the need to mention that the poor grammar specimen was "a member of a Christian youth fellowship group"? Was that the same kind of image buildup as the "was a member of Communist Youth and took part in voluntary federal labor campouts three times, originates in a poor workers' family"? IOW, if the girl belonged to a different (or no) religion, would she be more or less (non-)guilty? At least in the eyes of the public, to whom the reporter is supposing (*).

(*) - is there a better word to describe "assumes a role of suppository"?
