I wonder what's going on with CK's account. Since recently he's been added lots of low quality sentences with obvious mistakes and typos, like "Both Tom and Mary be there" or "Both Do Tom and John have beards?".
As long as he's always been considered one of the most trustworthed contributors of Tatoeba, it seems really strange. I suppose someone might hack his account and add the wrong sentences for purpose.
@CK, if your account hasn't been hacked and you added the sentences accidentally, please let us know.
If someone can contact CK via his private email, messengers or social networks, please do it and warn him.
Editing: CK told me that his account hadn't been hacked.

But he goes on adding sentences with typos and even to those he adds the green mark "OK" ...

Are you sure this is a mistake? The Wikipedia article on African-American English has an example “He be working Tuesdays” (‘He frequently (or habitually) works on Tuesdays’). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A...erican_English
Wouldn’t “Both Tom and Mary be there” mean ‘Both Tom and Mary are usually there’ in that variety of English?
It's only a random example. There were lots of mistakes and typos of different kinds. You can have a look at the logs.
It seems he corrected most of his mistakes (maybe all of them, I didn't really follow it).
That's strange. Maybe you could contact him through his website: http://www.manythings.org/
