grammar

Are these sentences grammatical? And if not, could you rewrite for me or explain what’s wrong inside? Please
Mr. Tulip used to be a guy of treachery, so I won’t back him up since he has trouble in his penthouse in this outskirt.
Our disgusting mayor once announced this slain outskirt is where paupers used to gathering due to its slum-like region.
Though many outcast infants are born and living in suffering, most of then comport respectfully and never beg for a mug of drink in their life.

I'm afraid we can't help with that kind of questions here, maserati -- you'd be better off asking your question somewhere else. Maybe you could check the links here: http://dmoz.org/Arts/Writers_Resources/Style_Guides/Grammar/ ?

Can I answer?

It appeares to be grammatically correct but somewhat antiquated ... like Dickens. Not very clear but correct nonetheless.

No, it's definitely not antiquated, it looks like Babelfished (or Spanglish) -- that is, idiom from some other language literally rendered in English words, with instances of collocutional clash typical of a mechanically-used translation dictionary.

It wouldn't ever be mistaken for native English, but most of the time, a native would (eventually) figure out what was meant.

I once spent several days puzzling over "canonicalized scholar data" in a Japanglish computer manual. I eventually figured out it was "normalized" (floating-point) numbers, and "scalar" (as opposed to vector) operations.

I must agree, although not as eloquently as Hutcheson. Even if one were to travel back in time several generations (of man and/or language), these writings could/should not be taken as proper English. The sentences are "just plain bad".

May I answer, surely?

No. "Can I answer?"
And the answer was, "Yes, I can." ... in both cases.
