Editing stuff by ESL writers is always interesting. (if that is even what this was)

10/29/2010 2:31:16 PM

Supposedly it was already edited by a native English speaker but I think that was a lie

10/29/2010 2:32:17 PM

Or you overestimate native speakers' competency.

Naw, there was other really obvious stuff. Like on the front page, in giant red letters:

"Get a Head Start in Building Your Bland in 2011"

Pretty sure even my little cousins could catch that one lol.

That's either a great job or a sucky job. I can't decide.

^^ Catch what? I'm interested in how to build my bland for next year.

you know.
im typically an english nazi and then i realized its really hypocritical of me. i never capitalize. i hardly ever use punctuation other than at the end of phrases. i write in fragmented sentences all of the time. i end sentences in prepositions. (all of this is null when writing a paper or something of that sort)

and then i get all high and mighty when someone confuses youre and youre or their, theyre, and there.

i don't know why i see myself as an exception. heh.

but anyway, i agree with OP. i had to read that sentence twice to figure out what it was saying.

I'm the same way when I write I just get ideas out of my head and on paper and then I can't proof shut I wrote but if someone else writes something or even edits something I wrote I'll be able to rip it a new one.
