Better change: "More people, less work; more accurate the work is." of the updated text

 

to: "The more people (who participate), the more accurate the work is, and the less burden lies onto each one."

Two reasons why I won't change it:

(1) It's grammatically correct.

(2) You understood it.:)

I was directed to this topic, so here's my response to a post made by yourself (bluelight) on this matter:
 

Learning languages are important, and not communicating grammatically perfect is a disgrace to the language and I and the reporter team have constantly seen people making grammatical mistakes, not to say we don't make, well we're an embarrassment to it. Consequently, I along with my friends have created this group.

Your grammar is not perfect, either; there are noticable examples in the quote above of incorrect grammar. Does that mean you are disgracing the English language? Communication does not mean perfect grammar all of the time.

Communication: the successful conveying or sharing of ideas and feelings.

Hence why slang terms have become popular, for example - they often help people to convey their informal thoughts and feelings when chatting amongst friends.

If you think good communication centres around perfect grammar, then that assumption is hardly accurate. Yes, perfect grammar is necessary for formal writing, but it is hardly embarrassing if you don't use perfect grammar when, say, making an informal forum post.
