Topic: Don't let those spelling mistakes & poor grammar turn your post into a shitpost. - page 2. (Read 537 times)

I doubt that even a post without any grammatical errors but has low in substance will still be counted as a meritable post. If you look at people who are not receiving merits their posts mostly contains off topic ideas which means even if they are grammatically correct they still won't receive anything. In order for you to even receive any merits in the first place you must always be on point is what you are saying as well as it needs to be relatable in the topic, remember substance is what being looked here not the spelling.

The majority of low/null value posts are so really due to their content, and no so much because of their grammar, with which one can be more belligerent providing the content is decent enough.

Of course it’s when both of these features collude on a post, and that is rather common, that it gets a shower of adverse qualifying adjectives which overspill onto the author, and get stuck to him/her/it for the times to come.

Agree, its good enough. Problem starting when most often new users starting topic with half english half different language and you must guess what he wanted to say/ask etc.
This is really problematic but some people really can't yet communicate in english. Correcting grammar won't help there and this is biggest problem by me.

Hoewever (<-- D:), maybe it will aid some in stepping up their english skills?

Great work JeromeTash,

Many newbies here don't know some basic way to make there post more grammar error-free, it's not every time the problems about the English vocabulary but sometimes there are many typing mistakes or simple grammar which makes an informative post look shady looking and hard to read. Your guide could help many of them to improve the posts with the help of online tool Grammarly and I think it is a very positive approach. Keep it up

Grmmarly also do not ensure proper grammar. It is only useful for spelling correction. When it comes about gammar, grammarly provides poor grammar. I sometimes used it but now I do not use it anymore.

Grammarly is useful in correcting your use of grammar, and helps perfect that which you already have an idea of. To really expand your English vocabulary you would need to take learning classes, or regularly converse in English language.
Jet cash has a fit to talk program which is set up foe those who can not use the language efficiently.

Bitcointalk also comes up as a spelling error... those are the kind of words alongside so many crypto related jargons that you just ignore or add to your dictionary

Well, everyone certainly has there own preferences and dislikes, but if you like writing in British English, there is an Option for that too

I don't like Grammarly - even the name jars with me. Also, it's primarily American, and that is a colloquial subset of English.

And why is that? Because most of them are in the forum just for bounties and don't even care about the rest. There are some bounty hunters with real knowledge on the blockchain and what they are talking about but most of them sadly aren't. I see this on the telegram channels as well. There are some people asking for information on stakes calculation or bounty distribution with a Google Translate English level. Some of them even give out the details on their position on the Google spreadsheet and with a little research you can find out they do blog writing campaign in English, so I wonder: how go they write a 500 words article in perfect English?
You understand where I'm going with this

I'm sorry I got a little off topic  

There are a lot of crypto related words that come up as spelling errors on my browser.  Even crypto has an incorrect spelling marker underneath it.

I didn't say one has to write like the Queen. Am just pointing out how one can improve on their posts without much hustle. It's an alternatively and it's not rallying any other person's project here.
Hope you understand.

Thanks, Fixed. 

*your.

 

Well It isn't a must to write (speak english) like the queen of England but as far your readers can understand what you're saying then you're good.  Jet cash saw this problem then provided a solution through the Fit-to-talk project but those users english isn't their native language aren't taking the project seriously so it's all on them if their quality post turns into garbage because of their bad English. Many of them will still ignore this post just as they do to others.

Good effort OP.  Just hopping they take your advice this time because most of them never do.

Some of the users here make good articles but one of the biggest let downs is the spelling mistakes and grammar which end up ruining an excellent article.
They can't be blamed because just like me, English is not their native language.

However, I did try to reduce on the challenge of grammar and spelling mistakes using an addon know as Grammarly. This addon is available on Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Other Firefox and chromium based browser like Brave, Tor e.t.c should be able to install this addon without any challenge.
Even while using a free version of this addon, one can be able to make a very big difference in the posts one makes.
