Proof reading services for non-native speakers
 
I am sure that someone is probably already doing it, but I have considered offering this service myself over the years. There are far too many non-native speakers of English in the adult webmaster world building web sites in broken English. Text is one of the most important sales tools a webmaster has. One would think that he/she would pay more attention to it.

To those of you who are non-native speakers of English, would you consider using a service like this. If so, what would be a fair price?

So, what are MY qualifications? I teach English grammar at the college level.

First test. Is "proofreading" one word or two?

It's a compound word, usually written as a single word (yeah, you owned me). Compound words can be written as single words, hyphenated words, or separate words.

Note that this actually falls under the heading of spelling. Spelling and grammar are two different things. Nobody needs to hire anyone to check spelling since spell checkers can easily do this.

I don't think only non-native speakers could use such a service :winkwink:

I was just kidding, man. I think it's a cool idea. :thumbsup

For the sake of you porn career, proofreading biz, and college level English teaching job, you should probably learn to spell "masturbate", first.
