Got around to try and read this after having downloaded it yesterday.
I’ve gotten a dozen sentences in before giving up on it because of the shoddy english. I understand that a few mistakes can slip through sometimes, but a typo in the second word of the novel and stuff like “Finally you unlocks the door […]” just a few sentences in turn me off completely.
I’m not putting in the time to read something that even the writer seems to not have cared enough about to proofread.
Ahoy, thanks a lot for playing and leaving your comment. I really understand where your comment comes from, and it's probably because English is not my native, although I'm am fluent, mistakes are expected. Also, if u don't mid to give me a few seconds of ur day, can u tell me my mistakes? After all, learn my mistakes is the first step to get better.
Have a good life.
I disagree, English is not my native language either but I’d take offence if people expected me to make lots of mistakes because of that. Not being a native speaker does not imply a lack of proficiency.
I’m not proofreading this for you but I suggest you do that yourself. Simply read it slowly while checking the spelling, concord, conjugations and punctuation, and look up online anything you’re unsure about or that sounds off. That would be a better learning experience than simply being told what the problems are, in my opinion.
Also, ending a comment with “Have a good life.” sounds sarcastic and passive-aggressive, since it sounds like you’re implying that you don’t expect to hear from someone for the rest of their life, so if you don’t want to sound dismissive you might not want to do that and instead use the usual sentences.
Hello there, thanks for answer me and for your advice, I'll do my best to make my writing better. I really appreciate you taking the time to write to me. And about the 'Have a good life' thing, I'm really sorry if it sounded like that. I have used this sentence for years and it never caused any trouble for me or anyone. Thanks a lot for your advices.
You’re welcome. And for the record:
Trying to always write well might help you do so better when you really care about it.
