Crab mentality (some writers try to make customers think they are the only choice)

I never claimed to be. Just a lot better than monsta--which is only natural, as English is my first (and only) language. This "mistake" wouldn't be considered so in dialogue, either; monsta asked a direct question, which I responded to--in context (which I thought I created by quoting his question), I would not be required to use the set-up "I am ranked so low on essaybay because..."

everyone should learn at least 1 other language.

Placing a comma immediately before a verb-especially a "to be" verb-is a sign of incompetence. Sorry.

Writing sub-standard papers by failing to use proper English is a form of "corruption"!

Engineers study for many years to master their craft. Programmers do the same. If someone without the proper skills presented himself as an engineer or a programmer... or even a doctor, wouldn't that be "misrepresentation"? Wouldn't that be "criminal"? Wouldn't that be a form of "corruption"?

Why then is writing English essays any different? If you don't write correctly, you cheat the client and you "corrupt" the industry!

Thats why im rated so highly on the transparent feedback system on Essaybay? Stop talking nonsense. Me delivering sub-standard papers? This coming from a writer based in the Philippines? My feedback and qualifications speak for themselves-there is no need for me to focus my efforts on attempting to discredit any individual writer. I can only think of a couple of reasons why you would focus your efforts on trying to discredit me.


Everyone is capable of judging a writer's abilities based on information presented in this forum. For example, your profile states that you are based in the Philippines; by even being in the industry can be viewed as a form of corruption by others, should they choose to adopt a confined and illogical approach to judging a writer's abilities. The education standards within the Philippines are not comparable to those either in the UK nor the US. That is a fact. Stop being so immature and perhaps focus your efforts on improving your self-esteem. Regards

There are so many things wrong with this statement, on so many levels. First of all, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that the first clause (it isn't even close to a complete sentence) is a hilarious Alfred E. Newman paraphrase whose grammar was murdered atrociously in order to maximize the comic effect derived form the context of this thread. Kudos.

Your second clause (also not a complete sentence, though acceptable in dialogue, so we can let it slide) belies the desperation of your position. It doesn't matter what country anyone lives in or was born in. Asian Wirter's posts here demonstrate a clear command of the ENglish language, including standard word usage and proper grammar and syntax. He could be from the Ukraine, Antarctica, or the moon--no one cares (except you, apparently). What matters is his proficiency with the English language.

In the same way, what matters with you is your lack of proficiency. Your MBA is meaningless, as is the question of whether or not you received a distinction, or were the only person to receive a distinction from your university, or were awarded a MacArthur genius grant for your superfluous amounts of distinction. The fact is, your English needs work. The customers on essaybay that leave you positive feedback are probably EFL students, or moronic native speakers (which exist by the thousands) who can't write properly themselves. This doesn't really matter either, though; your writing needs improvement regardless of your feedback or its source.


No one's efforts are focused on discrediting you. You posted here, and people are responding. That's the way forums work. Your writing speaks for itself; we are simply pointing this out. Your defensiveness makes it more fun, certainly, but the only reason I have for "discrediting" you is the fact that you can't write and don't know it.


He's not being immature. He asked you a direct question that you avoided answering.

I'll put it more directly:
If a person who does not have the proper skills to do a job charges people money to do that job anyway, is that person corrupt?

Every customer I have ever had is happy to the best of my knowledge. Clearly, someone of your intelligence should be aware that to obtain such a prestigious qualification and achieve the grading I did, requires the consistent use of a high standard of English.


Consequently, I found this an unorthodox way to spell the word 'English'. Pheelyks, I seriously feel sorry for you; even though there is no apparent reason to feel sorry. Regards.


Yes I was thinking the same about you. Surely you should be busy writing essays? You seem to have a lot free time to post within this forum......


Thats just me, not all indians. ;-)

I find this thread hilarious in some ways. Lol. You guys are funny. Lol.

Would that be your "limited knowledge"?


AsianWriter happens to be excellent at what he does. Try learning something from him.

Monsta, get over yourself. You were offered constructive criticism and chose to interpret it as some kind of mortal blow to your pride. Spare us your opinions on the English language. You are simply not qualified.

Pheelyks, I genuinely did think you were this one particular writer on Essaybay and it wasn't some sort of tactic to get a response.


Lol.


Lol. I'll bear that in mind.

I, for one, do not believe you. Reason? You used that same purile tactic with me.


Your response is hardly surprising. After all, you are all about attacking other writers ...

Monsta, good luck! When you grow up, gain some experience, improve your English, mature, etc ... you could transform into a nice person.


I never said ALL. I said MOST. There is a difference, you know.

This. Sentence. Has. Several. Problems. And. Does. Not. Demonstrate. "The. Consistent. Use. Of. A. High. Standard. Of. English.


Wow, you got me. I held down the shift key a second too long whilst typing. That's absolutely comparable to using the wrong words whilst trying to formulate thoughts, and using commas inappropriately whilst trying to make points.

By the way, "consequently" makes no sense the way you used it. I believe you were going for "Incidentally." But maybe it was a typo.


Yes, I should. This is more fun.


Why would you think that? Is there a writer named "pheelyks" on essaybay?




So, when you run out of arguments you just start "lol"ing. Effective.

Anyone with any moral sense whatsoever can see who is a nice person upon reading this thread. Let me tell you, as a person you are strictly an amateur.....


No actually I genuinely find some parts of this thread really funny.


Unfortunately I dont launch attacks on other writers. Anyone who reads this thread can clearly see who is attacking others. Your posts question the purpose of the entire forum. I find you funny WRT. Lol. Sorry pheelyks I had to mention the term 'Lol'. But i genuinely did laugh.


Lol.

Delusional, are we? You sell yourself to clients by telling them that other writers will provide them with low-quality, plagiarised work. From where I come from, that is unethical.

As for your denying ever attacking others, let's see ...


(Cannot be bothered to correct the sentence or point out the numerous mistakes. Horrid English)



(Awful English) My essaybay account has not been active for 2 years and my handle here has NOTHING to do with my essaybay name. You do not know who I am on essaybay and are, therefore, a liar. Added to that, my rating was near-perfect.


Pheelyks is not even on essaybay. Again, you are a liar.

Anyone who reads through this thread will clearly see that you are liberal with the truth.


Amateur? Does that even make sense? How do I, as a person, become a `professional' person, as opposed to an `amateur' person?


Is that not what you did? Did you not warn a potential customer that other writers lack the qualifications and integrity needed to produce a highly quality, non-plagiarised, research?


Yes, good idea. Attack Manunulat for having exposed you.





I could go on but I believe that the above suffices as a response to the following:

So you took the time to check out my nationality, huh? I'm flattered. However, I never took the time to check out your nationality. I don't need to because it doesn't matter what your race or color is. It only matters how you use the English language. You, Sir, do not use it correctly.

By your statement alone, I can tell that you are not only a "crab" but a "racist" as well.

You mean the clients accept the lowestbid. The lower the cpp the better chance of the writer being awarded the work. Again, quality does not come cheap. The lower the cost, the higher the likelihood of hiring an inefficient writer. . The student takes all the risks, regardless of the ploy.

The same is true when it comes to independent writers without any formal bidding process involved. At least once or twice a month (more lately), a new prospective client asks me for a price quote and then I don't get back any response at all until several weeks later. By that time, the client who never responded to my price quote ended up using someone cheaper and received back something totally worthless. I always ask who (or what company) provided the work and what the cost was; and usually, it's somewhere in between 50% and 80% of my original price quote. Typically, they end up paying me more than my original quote to complete the same project in about 3 days instead of in 2 or 3 weeks, in addition to the cost of the unusable work they received from the cheaper provider.

Once in a while, they do respond to me before going with the cheaper provider, just to see whether I'll "match" the cheaper price. When that happens, I try to explain what I just described above; but I know that it probably sounds like marketing "spin." About half the time, they do take my advice to heart and just order the project from me; the other half the time, they find out for themselves that it wasn't just a marketing effort on my part and they either have me redo the entire project or they use me on their future projects.

Students have freedom of choice. They can choose to work with the cheapest writer or, the most expensive one. The problem is that they lack guidance and proper information about how to choose a writer that can fulfill their needs. Granted that inflation since the pandemic began forced them to prioritize their pocketbooks, they should also know that other factors are more important to consider Factors like the number of years the writer has been on the job, his variety of writing specialties, and his ability to work on short- turn around papers, to name but a few other considerations, up the hiring price for the writer. These are the factors that should weigh far more heavily than their budget. Anybody can claim to be an academic witter, but the ones that actually know how to do the job come at a hefty price.
