What you're asking isn't even remotely clear, but if you're suggesting that ESL customers want ESL writers, you're usually mistaken.

There is definitely a place for ESL writers in this industry. They need to be honest with themselves and with their customers about their skill level, however. For instance, ESL customers that hire you as a writer need to be aware that their papers will have many errors in grammar, syntax, and word usage. If this is what they want, then you're the right writer for them. If they want something written in academically correct English, you're not.

Your major problem is in assumptions. The question/concern was clear.

The question/concern was clear.

No, it wasn't. And it still isn't, because instead of trying to clarify when you're told you're being unclear, you react like an arrogant ass and assume that because you know what you meant everyone else will, too. that's not how language works.

haha, pwned.

muny, the answer to your question is: people here are trying to "protect American students" because the internet opened up a big external change in the paper mill market. it's a brave new world, but the entrenched US/UK companies are scared. there are writers out there who are literate in various forms of post-colonial English, write for cheaper prices, and often produce copy that is indistinguishable in quality... not that quality matters in this industry anyway, since the customer has no legal recourse.

when idiots like pheelyks say, "there's definitely a place for ESL writers," as if they're politely making a concession, it's hilarious... the "place" to which he's referring is, in his mind, the "back of the bus..." but he doesn't even realize who's driving.

Back to more completely inane assertions and illogical inferences, I see. The "place" I'm referring to is the place writers like MeoKhan occupy--offering ESL essays to ESL students who want ESL essays. The reason this is their "place" is because it matches what they are able to offer.

As for who's driving the bus, if you mean I don't realize there are companies making lots of money through the work of their writers, you're wrong. But we've been down this road before.

....and one more completely illogical inference. I think people should be honest about what they can offer, so ESL writers pretending to be native speakers is a bad thing. Do you disagree?

Student ProtectionI would state that being honest is the most important thing.

Second is your skills.

I have already discussed that deviations cannot be completely removed from person's use of a language that is their 2nd language.

It's possible only if the person learns it as a child. In this case the language may not be regarded as their 2nd lang.

However, other skills such as syntax, usage, and prose can be controlled to an extent that it passes the standard benchmarks.

The world is moving toward GlobEng - stressing the need of more and more deculturation (specially) in academic writing.

Thus, Editor75, I am in business. However, I always clearly let my clients know of my country of origin, and that English is my 2nd language.

ESL writers are writers, first and foremost. they are just as likely to be horrible at English as native speakers, in this industry... or even a little less so, I'd imagine, since they have the wherewithal to know at least 2 languages to begin with. if there's going to be disclosure, it should be equal-- if MeoKhan has to disclose English as his 2nd language, you, pheelyks, should have to notify clients that you are a native speaker who still stumbles over the use of simple contractions.

Meo, honesty has nothing to do with it. look at the industry-- it's based on lies. talking about the primacy of honesty in such an environment is absurd. you're right about one thing-- it's about skill. that's all. that you preemptively tell your clients that you are not a native English speaker is either a lie or a further form of pathetic self-abasement... judging by your conduct on this forum, I would guess the latter.

That's kinda mean. :P Just because the industry is seen as dubious to begin with, is that really an excuse for the companies to be half-assed about the services they provide? I'm inclined to feel a bit sorry for the customers if that's the case. Don't get me wrong, I think it's awful that some students actually pay to have their homework written for them (although they are advised to use it as a guide, which some do I guess). I'm also not denying the fact that ESL writers can be perfectly competent. Still, the students are paying customers: don't they at least deserve the truth?

Based on the evidence on this board and what I witnessed working at UVO, I completely disagree. What are you basing this claim on?

you, pheelyks, should have to notify clients that you are a native speaker who still stumbles over the use of simple contractions.

Other than the occasional "you're/your" screwup, which I'll admit is a fairly basic error (and one not very likely to occur in academic papers, where personal pronouns aren't used), care to provide an example?

After full-stop, always begin a new sentence with a capital letter. When will you learn to write in good English?

WB-- I'm still waiting for Academon to lower the boom. have you made that phone call yet?

As I told you previously, your Acdn account does so little (if any) sales that I deemed it not worth the extra effort involved in getting it banned. You're an extremely small fish, Rusty. Initially, I thought it would be a worthwhile venture, but I should have known that you were LYING when you claimed that you had "thousands of dollars" in your Academon account. I revel in your failure, struggles, and ineptitude.

ESL writers are writers, first and foremost. they are just as likely to be horrible at English as native speakers

Moron . . . . That just about sums up Rusty's skewed mindset.

WB-- you might have been able to help shut down a couple of overseas spam-companies that were competing with ET, but you can't touch a productive account at a legitimate company... you're only going to prove yourself a delusional victim of internet entitlement.

none of your fake mercy. if the account is just peanuts as you claim, it shouldn't be too much of a job for you to have it shut down, just to teach me a lesson. right? I dare you to make good on your word.

Guys, open up your eyes and see what is happening in this industry. Do not close yourselves up in essayscam. Get to hear the truth out there and you will be surprised how the four monkeys (WB, Phyleeks, meo...whoever and its...whatever) fail to acknowledge.

this 'sentence' didn't begin with a capital letter.

I must say you're being cynical. You always lose main the point of departure and start your own philosophy.

judging by your conduct on this forum

Are you a jury member? I guess no. You're a self-proclaimed judge of the writing industry when you yourself admit being banned by a company.

My conduct on this forum is clearly open to everyone since day one. My posts tell people what I am. That's it.

I think it's awful that some students actually pay to have their homework written for them

I am really sorry to say your words show your dearth of knowledge regarding what is happening in the essay writing industry. This whole forum is meant to focus on scam. I am also sorry for you - You've been so active in jumping here and there commenting, passing judgement. However, it's surprising to note that you sill pass such comments. I'd suggest you spend a few minutes in going through some threads on famous scam. You'd be in a better position to give your precious opinion.

@MeoKhan

LOL. You don't know when to quit, do you? :P So much for moving on. I like how you quoted me out of context, though, as if it makes you sound really clever.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's awful that some students actually pay to have their homework written for them (although they are advised to use it as a guide, which some do I guess).

Basically, there are some students who try to submit the essays they pay for for academic credit (as editor75 implied); there is no denying this, and I have little sympathy for those students. At the same time, there are also those students who do use the work they pay for as a guide (like I said in the brackets). So, no, they don't deserve to be scammed from the outset just because some people think the industry is based on deceit. Just my two cents there. So-rry if it offends you that I dare to post at all, but it seems like you completely missed my point. "Linguistic deviations?" ^_^ Ha.

You've been so active in jumping here and there commenting, passing judgement.

LOL. Unlike you, always full of wisdom and impartiality. ^__^ But hey, you learned a new phrase from our last encounter. Go Meo! Still, I kind of miss the good ol' days of people hurling turnips. ROFLMAO!

I'd suggest you spend a few minutes in going through some threads on famous scam. You'd be in a better position to give your precious opinion.

Are you just so embarrassed about getting your a** kicked when you joined this forum that you feel some compulsive need to bestow the same fate on newbies or what? See, I did read something. ^_^ I have nothing against your "precious opinion" either. Keep up the good work fighting scams, seriously. You seem to be the one with the problem here. Now do you want to leave this alone or should I continue distracting you with my awful presence? :P

You have quoted your words once again. Anyone can see, I didn't quote anything out of context. I can also see it was only after my post that you referred to my old posts - you read them afterward. You gotta admit it. Lolz!

"Linguistic deviations?"

Hahaha. It is very simple to see you're referring to the information everyone related to serious writing business has internalized for century. It's where I said you needed to read. As a result you've read only my past posts. Do you think posting form my previous posts makes your posts impressive? Lolz! You need to learn how to argue.

hurling turnips

Lolz! That was mean. But I honestly am laughing. :p Good point.

your a** kicked when you joined this forum that you feel some compulsive need to bestow the same fate on newbies or what?

Lolz. I see you're making a very valid point here. Yes, I must admit I was not welcome with 'open arms' on this forum.

However, if you analytically see the entire situation, you will find the logic behind it. I am perhaps the only 1 ESL writer here who has made some serious efforts to show I am not like others. So when I joined the forum, Pheelyks, WB, among others, possibly thought I would be the same as others.

My English is not like the native English speakers. However, it's also right I am not a scam. I hope you get my point.

I don't meddle with any newbies. Many come and go. If you have read my posts, you've probably seen I always try to help the newbies regarding their queries. I spend a lot of time researching for what they inquire of. (I believe this is the only reason we're here.)

It's only new-babies like you who want some overhauling. Lolz!

Now do you want to leave this alone or should I continue distracting you with my awful presence?

I don't mind what you do. However, please note that you're the one who needs some tuning from time to time. I am sure going to to fine-tune your strings whenever need be :-D.
