cheapassignmenthelp.com = dishonest garbage from India

Since "touretstone" decided to SPAM this forum, I thought that I'd warn people about the nature and background of cheapassignmenthelp.com.

I thought English is the official language in India? If so, does it mean Indian people speak and write in English fluently (similar to native English speakers)?

Language "fluency" still leaves a whole lot of room for idiosyncrasies and colloquialisms that differentiate your written "voice" from others. The simplest example would be that UK English is often identifiable from US English in writing, even without focusing on spelling differences. Americans (for whom English is also our official language) are notorious for colloquialisms (many of which are grammatically incorrect) that make our writing easily identifiable as American English. ESLs can be as "fluent" in English as many Americans but they often have their own colloquialisms (or outright characteristic mistakes) that are the equivalent of an ESL "accent" in their writing that makes it immediately obvious the writer wasn't an American. ESLs often use idioms wrong or just differently than Americans, or they develop their own idioms that aren't necessarily technically "wrong," but they're immediately identifiable as non-American simply because Americans don't use them. In fact, ESL writing is also sometimes identifiable by instances of correct grammar in certain situations where Americans typically use incorrect grammar. One example that comes to mind is the correct use of the word whomever. Much more often, ESLs make characteristic mistakes such as adding unnecessary articles and leaving out necessary ones in ways that Americans simply never do, even when they aren't particularly good writers.

You are right; I was confused because a couple of Indian people I know don't speak English well, but when they write it'd be hard to conclude they are not native English speakers.

I sincerely doubt that.

India has a three-language formula or language policy. A child in a school anywhere in India, at least as postulated in its language policy, is expected to learn 1) his/her state language, for social integration at the local level; 2) Hindi, for national integration and upward socioeconomic mobility within the country; and 3) English, for global and national communication and upward socioeconomic mobility.

India presents the MOST linguistically diverse and culturally dynamic case to the entire world from prehistoric times to this day. The greatly diverse fabric of Indian linguistic repertoire has offered unique language situations to linguists so much so that there are concepts in linguistics (the filed of studying languages) that are identified with India only: Sprachbund is one such concept.

That said, unfortunately, the hegemony of the ruling elite has continued, and a limited number of people can be considered (according to credible research) actually fluent in English though its middle-class is steadily rising. Because India has the largest human population on earth, its elite and educated middle-class can easily outnumber many countries' populations.

Pakistan can be regarded a mini-version of India because it was once part of India in the recent past. However, there are striking differences between the sociopolitical cultures of both the countries.

So, it is possible for someone to run into an Indian writer who can write fluently; however, as FLW noted above, there may be some visible linguistic deviations that will sound unfamiliar to a person not acquainted with such deviations. This does not just include the native English speakers from the U.S. or U.K., it can also be equally applicable to another ESL context such as Pakistan. Since we do not share many such linguistic deviations with the Indians (though we have our own; much like the U.S. and the U.K. idiosyncrasies and idiolects), reading an Indian writer rings a bell.

It's close...

If I could choose a random writer from either India or Pakistan - which one would write a better paper?

Glen, you can't polish a turd.

Some active writer I know suggested the following:

Native English Writer > Indian Writer > Pakistan Writer > Kenyan Writer

Did s/he explain the criteria (if any) applied to reach these suggestions?

The company itself does provide cheap papers. However, their writing staff isn't as bad as they are portrayed to be. There are several instances of note, when the company actually provided the paper that the student required. No problems, no plagiarism, no charge backs. I guess that it also depends upon how clear the instructions of the students are, and, if the student is an ESL or not. If the student is an ESL, then you can bet that the company can guarantee their satisfaction. If the student is an ENL, then that student is out of luck. He will receive a second rate paper at best.

I guess the companies from India are now being affected by the AI essay writing trend. It appears that this company has taken its website offline, but has kept its server active. That is what worries me at the moment. The fact that they kept their access to the server could mean that they are merely reformatting their site to play an updated game and ride on the AI wave. It is important that this company be taken offline permanently under this domain name because the company was never one that played the game on a level field. They created mediocre papers and refused to work with clients on revisions or refunds. Let us hope that the company will not resurface under a new name in the future.
