Bad article
A cryptic article that reads like a cut-and-paste from advertising literature, and says next to nothing about that what this piece of software actually does or how it functions. Someone please rewrite this.--Drvanthorp (talk) 05:54, 15 September 2012 (UTC)


 * On the grounds of being a neologism and/or lacking 3rd party references, it looks like a good canidate for deletion nomination / afd. Dialectric (talk) 06:58, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

I don't care about the article using or promoting a neologism, but it presently might be the worst-written piece of dreck I have ever encountered on Wikipedia. It's just awful! I just corrected a pair of typos in the article's second sentence ("aa simple set of commands commands"), only to find that the third sentence is even worse; it's not even a complete sentence at all!


 * "The project is now know as Liquid Information or simply 'Liquid', dropping the hyper prefix which was used to work with the hyper prefix for hypertext and using the more general name of interactive text, produced by the."

Can any human being parse and decipher that "sentence"? Produced by the what, or the who?

(I also missed several other mistakes in the second sentence. Among other things, previous editors don't know when and how to use quotation marks, or commas.)

I started to try to fix the rest, but it is such a massive blob of crap that fixing it would be too much work (for me), plus — lacking firsthand knowledge — it's hard for me to tell what the sentences were supposed to say, and what was originally meant, in the first place. I'm not the right man for the job.

It also appears quite possible that one or more of the previous editors of this page do no speak English natively. I'm not trying to pick on anyone, but that is how the page reads. (It also reads as though it was edited very hastily and sloppily. On multiple occasions.)

It's not worth my taking the time to try to fix this, but someone who is familiar with the concept of hyperwords (and how hyperwords differ from ordinary hypertext), The Hyperwords Company/Liquid Information Company, and the Hyperwords browser add-on — and who can actually speak and write English; and who knows that a word has to be put in quotation marks (or else italicized) any time one is using it to refer to the word itself rather than to the concept or real-world object that the word normally refers to; and who knows where commas should go —— should attempt to rewrite this article so that every sentence in it is grammatical and complete, and true, and up to date.
