Good gad your site has ads, over ads, over widgets, over plugins. It's impossible to read any of the content. Here's a screenshot of one of the pages:

Why would anyone take the time to navigate trhrough this mess? I'm not here to beat you up, but you desperately need to rethink your strategy.

Also, you need a proofreader. Just one example why:
In the English language you do not use an apostrophe before an s to denote the plural. That's used to show the possessive.

Never mind... after reading a couple pages of your "articles," it's clear English is not your native language.

I don't need your advice!
 
when it comes to using proper English. You don't need to answer my questions. Get lost!

That's good, because your grammar sucks.

Also, "when it comes to using proper English." is not a complete sentence. You need to delete the period and combine those two sentences into one to have a complete thought.

fuck you!
 
don't give a third degree for something you know nothing about! I have four books published and you have managed to bitch more than the editor who worked on my four published books! You don't have any published books! You will be laughed at by an editor!
fuck you!

some folks can't handle constructive criticism.

Mr. Ghostly- this is a serious offer. I'll copy edit your entire website for $100. That's far cheaper than you'd be able to get it done by anyone else.

Send me a message if you really care about presenting a professional website.

TimMiller2011 04-25-2012 05:45 PM

I have a few published books, and I can concur that your grammar sucks. Your editor was probably scared to mention any problems to you if your previous meltdown is any indication.

Now that it's been brought up I need to ask a question. At another forum I mentioned two novels by Wilkie Collins I found on my wife's bookcase and referred to them as "the Collins's". Later I thought maybe I should have said the Collinses, or just the Collins. Truth to tell, I'm not sure which is correct:o. Any chance you (or anyone) might?

I'm discussing your website. It's so poorly written I thought perhaps a 12 year old had produced it. Then I thought maybe it was the product of an online translator. Now I can see it's just pure ignorance of the language. It's lovely you've self-published a few books, but as that website stands, nobody will ever visit it more than once.

The more you proclaim your greatness in fractured, misspelled English, the more foolish you appear. Keep it up! You're gaining lots of customers here.

After seeing the way this person writes here, I won't even give it one visit.

No. Being a secretary, poor grammar and spelling drive me right up the wall. I have zero tolerance for it.

It's a strange rule, with many variations.
