I just got through reading a few miscellaneous Yelp reviews ...Wow ! We are in trouble ! Does anyone ever read their handi-work before clicking done ? Don’t most devices now come with some sort of auto-correct ? Some of these people may be making sincere / legitimate complaints, but the way their sentence’s are constructed , how can anyone take them seriously ? Am I being too critical ?

Those are the reviews that are legit.
It's the over-embellished, perfect sentence structure, detailed, flattering reviews that are fake.
Car dealers are notorious for fake, 5 star Yelp reviews.

I'd say they are mostly sincere reviews when posted by the "grammatically challenged". In most cases in SoCal, I could tell by the wording if they were truly "special", or just didn't have a good grasp on english.

Sometimes they're just entertaining as hell though.

Just take a gander at Facebook these days. No one knows how to write the English language anymore. It drives me crazy.
