I don't know if it's only me but I get totally turned off when I read contents with so many English and grammatical blunders. Probably the content starts smooth, I keep reading and enjoying and then boom! The first blunder. We're humans after all, we make and then baam the next blunder, well, no one is perfect I say to myself but no! This is a different case.
The blunders keep coming. I try as much as possible to decipher the message the content writer is trying to deliver but it keeps getting hard and hard and at a point I'm locked. Like what am I reading? What's going on here? My brain goes like "I'd wait for you. When you're done doing what you're doing, meet me at a content with better readability"

No one is entirely perfect. You could write a content and go over it a million times but once it's publish, someone somewhere would spot an error and criticize. In such cases, we understand, but when it's excessive it gets people tired and uninterested.
They just skim through the first few lines and swipe out of your content. Their mental health is obviously more important.

The worst scenario is when there are blunders and then they dont space the work. You'd be reading and have no way to turn to for support. It's just a bank of mistakes and it's very disheartening.
I see contents that I'd love to read to the very end without missing anything out, but there they go and sometimes I get sad. I'm not here to give an English lecture,just here to air my views.
Readability is key for anyone who wants to thrive. Just a friendly reminder.
Thanks for reading..
With love, wongi 😊
Hey, don't do this
English isn't everyone's native language
A lot of people are trying to learn as much as they can so they can strive
Give them time....
No. I'm not castigating anyone.
I'm just trying to air out a view. I find it hard to go through certain contents I'd love to read because I find it hard to navigate through there tenses and all.
If English isn't their native langue, they could always try writing in their native language and I'd probably use a translator. That way, more sense would be made.
Okay dear, I'd do just this.
sorry to eavesdropp on your conversation
This is how I write my content. I write it in my native language, then put into translator and rearrange some of the word so that it made sense after translated
Grammar wise, I'm still learning here and there
Yes dear. And this way, I always understand your contents.
Thanks for your opinion.
Brother you have said it all, English is not our native language beside we are all trying to put one or more messages across which I believe as a learned person can easily grab whatever mistake you come and cross in a sentence,or grammar with an error you should be able to get the message at some point.

Well I try to read and reread. Yet the auto-correct isn't always my friend. I can appreciate the reminder. Thanks for sharing. :) !LUV
You're most welcome dear.
Autocorrect has not been treating people well, lol
It depend on the kind of device you are using.
Not totally dear.
