Now while that might well be true what they post instead comes across as either chuunibyou (second year middle school syndrome) or machine translations that are never proof read by a native English speaking editor.
​
Probable machine translation. The clincher is the use of 'diary' for 'journal'.
​
The primary contributors also seem to be Indian, and even fluent Indian English speakers use phraseology that can sound odd to a British or American ear. Just read the Times of India.
