Look, all I am saying is that I don't like WB's demeanor. That doesn't mean that I disagree with anything she has to say (btw, didn't know you were a girl), as a matter of fact, having worked with essay writers all over the world, I tend to agree that non-English writers do not have the English language skills to present papers properly, this does not mean that they do not write in English, they just don't do it well compared to US, UK and Australian writers.
I've cleaned up enough messes from non-Native English speakers to know this for a fact.
I wouldn't try to write a paper in Spanish, even though I speak it.
I be from India, but I saw you making fun of writers from our country also in other thread. Let me ask, if you think Mr. Unbeliever_Paradox is competent writer, what about what you say about you being better than all ESL writers? Are you sure that Mr. Paradox is at most equal to you but not better than you? Just wanna know.
This is an exact example of mine and WB's and Latvina's point in the other thread.
I be from India?
Good English speakers write it as:
I AM from India.
This is something I have had to edit from writers who are, especially, from the mid East regions. This does not mean ALL non-Native English writers are this poor in their English language skills, but the majority are, and not for lack of intelligence, it is a difference between understanding the language and writing the language.
Latvina (I believe you are a non-Native English speaker, I think, anyways) and a few others I have come across actually understand the language because they have worked very hard to do so.
It does not make myself or WB or Latvina racists because we notice a difference between ability to write and understand a language to the ability to speak a language.
When I need a paper written in Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilocano, Hiligaynon, Waray-Waray, Kapampangan, Bikol, Pangasinan. Kinaray-a, Maranao, Maguindanao and Tausug., I will contact a Philllipino writer.
