Re: To non-native English writers: expunging the solecism "This allows to do something."

Well :)
Wait for about 30 - 35 years at will be.

Except that I'm not sure if you're aware of it but a large portion of
readers of your email has difficulties with meaning of:
  expunging
  solecism
  gerund
  take care to
  direct object

In contrast to that, meaning of both expressions:
  this allows to do something
  this allows [...] to do something
is quite clear. Nobody needs to google for it, even if it is not
Oxford English from the end of 20th century.

Thanks :)
