I don't know what makes you think its a crime, imo its perfectly legitimate. Its good that one knows his English is not upto the mark and uses services of expert to polish the article before posting on Web. You can also use tools like grammerly to correct English.

It is not crime or plagiarism if ask a friend for help to correct some error in an article you wrote but it will only be plagiarism if the friend decides to post the article before you after she's done correcting the article.
So, I hope the person is someone you totally trust because there is some situation where someone else ideas are stolen.

Hi, OP.
If the advices were already enough from the previous replies, I would advise you to lock this topic now. You don't really need a perfect grammar, but when it comes to writing an article, you might need to practice your grammar further.
Wishing you the best there, OP.

uchegod: if I understand this correctly, you gave your post to somebody else for correction and they posted it as if it was theirs.

No it has not happen. It was what I am thinking to do. I want to know if is a crime first.

Well, the definition of "crime" varies. What I would be worried about is if it's ethical to do so.
Personally, despite practical considerations that have been stated before, I think using somebody else's work without their consent and not giving them due credit for it is morally repugnant.
You can learn before, and then do your own work. The whole "my English is not good" excuse is BS, in my opinion. Like I said before, there's a whole lot of people here whose English is far from perfect (including me), and we go from taking forever to carefully craft each post, to just do their best and let other people to deal with it.

It's not a crime if you get your article corrected by people provided you did the job yourself and there is no future proof of plagiarism. The idea is to sell what you have which is expressed in thoughts and idea. But other than give people your job for correction you can still express your self in your local board to avoid been blackmailed by the person whom you hired to edit your job.

It's called proofreading which that someone who reviews what you have written is going to correct the mistakes you have written. A proofreader is actually a job position in some publishing companies. It's not a crime but writers normally need proofreaders for grammar and punctuation correction. I guess OP is rich enough to hire someone to read and correct his articles.

A crime is rewriting someone else article but somehow, it becomes legal in the eyes of the search engines because it's all that matters now as long as search engine bots see the article as unique.

There's nothing wrong with that but it could be risky if the person involved in the editing isn't trust worthy.
Let's say you create an idea yourself and hand it over to someone who is in the forum and then the person edits it and post it before handing the edited work over to you.

Just be careful while giving out your work, they're professionals who specialise in editing works, you could always hire their services.

If the idea comes from yourself and if you insert also the source link if you took a quote, it doesn't mean that you are plagiarism and a crime. No.
It is like proofreading, grammar correction, and also editing. This is actually normally done by some content articles also that commonly use this way to make articles more friendly to read, well readable, and also human friendly.

Of course, this is not a crime. That is, essentially, just proofreading. There are people who do this professionally, for money. Copy editors do the job of proofreading, but before that they go through an extensive training program.

No that shouldn't be a plagiarism, but I think some caution should be taken like the person you giving the article in order to correct for bad grammar, punctuation marks and spelling should be sure to do only correction and no improvising or trying to and article from some else to it, also if you aren't go in english and you feel you should write in it, then take out time to learn it, you may find it easy to learn in a short time.

As other users have said, it doesn't fall under the offense of plagiarism, so long as it's just your English that the person would correct, but mind you that you could prolly give someone an article of yours to edit and the person goes on to cut out numerous parts of your write-up to either include their thoughts or something they got from the internet, if you post such articles on the forum and your "editor" does that continually, then you could probably be accused of plagiarism or stealing lines out of other people's work, thus what I'm basically saying is you should make it clear to your proof-reader what exactly you want from them so you don't get into trouble, or you better just choose an online tool to help you with this.

It won't be any plagiarism if your article not shared anywhere. It's not any crime also a lot of writter do such a thing. But you should try to develop your skill instead of relying someone.
.
It doesn't means that you cant write if your english is poor. Start with ur poor english you will find a lot teaching u in online.

Its not really comes under plagiarism, because plagiarism stands for copying someone's content and claims that its yours.

If you're English is bad still you can post as long as people can read and understand what you are actually trying to say, this is not a competition where you have to write articles with no grammar mistakes. But it will be better if there is no such mistakes which can be solved easily by using grammarly like application which will correct the spelling, punctuation and lot other mistakes for free and if you subscribe for premium version you can also get the corrected and appropriate sentences by the application itself.

It's not bad or a plagiarism as far as the article belongs to you and if its not edited from someone else article. If your article is given to someone who can edit it to correct errors such like English and punctuation it is not a plagiarism or copied work.

It's not crime when you write an article that comprises that larger stanzas and smaller stanzas and ask for assistance for correction and all the rest, even in the universities it's done, whereby an academic doctors will write a book and take it above person who's knows more better for a correction purposes such a professor of such field for proper scrutinized of errors, so when somebody correct your articles for you it's not a plagarism... A plagarism is the process whereby you copy and paste an article of already without reference and claim to be right owner of the work.

That's good to know that you are learning well and also looking for advises from forum members in this forum. Continue what you are doing right now and soon you'll write your own article with better grammar and better article(s) with good english after learning. Plagiarism is different where you posted an article that you are not the one who made it. In your case is, you made it yourself but with a corrections so need to worry.

First and foremost, it is not a crime not to know English. So whether you make a direct post or you have it corrected by your friend first before posting does not matter. I mean, there is no crime there. I suppose your friend is not tasked to change the gist of your post but only the grammar so that you could effectively express what you have in mind.

Plagiarism is not what you are referring to. Plagiarism is copying someone else's words and make them appear as if they are your own.

that's basically proofreading(someone who fixes typos, wrong grammar, etc...). a lot of writers and journalists hire people to proofread their stories, articles, to make sure that there are no typos, wrong grammar, errors, and etc... as long as you wrote the article yourself and hire someone to proofread it, it is not considered as plagiarism.
