The parent comment is not flamebait; it is a correction which is required far too often in the context of native English speakers. The AC should have been more diplomatic, but that doesn't invalidate the point.

The summary contains yet another example of my number one pet peeve as a copy-editor: “do” being used as a generic verb. English is not Perl; some expressions are simply wrong in English. As opposed to “Diaspora, the privacy-respecting OSS social network, did a code release last week,” the correct form of the opening sentence is “Diaspora, the privacy-respecting OSS social network, released code last week.”

I am a much better writer and editor than I am a programmer, which probably means I'm the only person on Slashdot who gives a damn about the error discussed in this post. Nevertheless, it's important that every geek do [generic verb to describe a generic action --Ed.] what he or she can to fight the onset of the “idiocracy.”
