Here is a sample " To over take other automobile companies and to reach at the helm, Toyota had devised a comprehensive action plan which included the Toyota Production System. " .
"reach at the helm"? WTF? You expect me to believe Roy writes or speaks like that?
I can only conclude that some half baked journalist essentially made up the article and attributed it to Roy.
Thoughtworks is an excellent company, with many world class writers in its ranks and this kind of ghostwriting goes against everything Thoughtworks stands for. And if the editors at the magazine must have someone pretending to be Roy, they magazine ought to get someone who understands how to write English well.
It amazes me that people whose profession is all about writing well don't know the rudiments of the language in which they write.
