well ---I also look at ---do real people really speak with perfect grammar?

I do not think that mentioning bad grammar is a bad thing --if done in a constructive mannar---but to say a story is ruined by a few grammar errors or spelling mistakes ---or typos---and I know typos well as I type kind of funny ----

I think instead of rating a story real low because of this ---we could encourage the writer---by using our skills ---and just gently point out it could have been better if the grammar and spelling or typos were corrected

I know I published one of my early stories ---yes there was some grammar errors and a spelling mistake or two ---this story was publised on many different story sites ---funny how none of the others even mentioned grammar or spelling errors----it is a sex story for gods sake not Gone With the Wind ---lol

Are we expecting too much for free?
