English, Not Engrish

» Mixed, Motley, Sundry, Variegated

Even though I have minimal expectations I’ve long wanted to buy some premade content - lists, image galleries for example - and use them to get something on domains that are just sitting idly. My hope is that this would help the domains ‘age’ better.

So I visited Digital Point’s forum devoted to buying and selling content.

Clearly English is for most of the authors and vendors their second language. The - my apologies - Engrish, small ineptitudes, incorrect spellings, painful grammar: these qualities make you doubt the value of what is being sold. The ordinary English words that are repeatedly misspelled makes for easily spotted duplicate content.

If you want to sell words and software to English speaking webmasters you might seriously consider developing a surer mastery of the English language.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about English, Not Engrish. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
