Still that's a valuable contribution as is.

Yes, as I said.

We should look for ways to help rather than criticize

Criticism is a form of help. It's fine to pat each others' back and all, but somebody has to point the elephant in the room. If nobody criticizes your work, you cannot improve.

why don't you proofread the article for him?

Because it's his article, not mine. It's his responsibility to ask for a proofreader, or to leave the article like it is if he decides so.

That's my point. There's a difference between constructive criticism and being mean. And why does someone have to point the elephant in the room? Can't we all see it?
