The author cannot spell (witch for which) run-on sentences, poor grammar... Who edits these? ..and in defence of some authors... There are great stories out there... but the slap dash writing of many, leaves this reader bummed.
PLEASE learn to use spell check.... and Proofread, proofread, proofread!
Hi Mrs. Bambi,
I've got to add my 2 cents worth. The writers are working for less than peanuts, some though not all are ESL writers, they're usually pretty easy to pick out. English spelling varies from country to country (try telling an Aussie the proper spelling of tyre). Any third party editing is strictly voluntary (are you available my dear?) and in any event a lot of readers are more interested in arousal quotient than the niceties of grammar and punctuation. Given all that take the stories for what they're worth not for what they cost you.
Just a thought,
Mad Lews
