diy classroom aquaponics | Bad English hindering your blog

diy classroom aquaponics


Ok this is just what I think and its not meant to be a direct criticism to the website. So if you are the owner, please take this as constructive criticism ok? Also, Im just an insignificant blogger who happened to visit your blog, thats all.

I was compiling the top list of blogspot websites with the highest PR rankings when I came across bloggingsecret.blogspot.com.

Cool I thought, because according to the Google PageRank history this blog is PR 5. However a check on my toolbar indicated it was now only PR 3. Guess this blog was the victim of Googles page demotion that has been going around lately.

But thats not what I want to talk about. The English used in the blog made my skin crawl. Maybe its just me but when your site is in English, you should take care and spend some effort in getting the basic grammar right. Im no English teacher, but I used to teach. It is a big responsiblity when your students depend on your communication skills to deliver to them something that they can consume, digest and understand. Its a great disservice if your students dont understand you because your English is bad.

Since my initial impression of the site as revealing "secrets" to blogging for money, I assume that the author has some elements of tips and coaching in his blog content.

Take his latest post:

I just now come across the net and something interesting and free online storage. I go their site and found out that the give away 2GB online storage for new members sign up.

Here is the mistakes I spotted and the corrections:-



So take this as constructive criticism. Please run through some form of grammar check before you make your blog post. This applies for for high traffic sites like blogging secrets (I see a high number in his RSS feeds). Your readers can probably figure out the main points you are trying to get across but why make them scratch their head trying to understand certain sentences, right?


Then again, maybe its me. Im just too sensitive and my mind shuts off trying to make sense of a posts filled with mistakes in English.

You can fix the problems in two ways:
Use Microsoft Word
Fire up Microsoft word and paste your blog content there. See the squiggly red lines (spelling mistakes) and green squiggly lines (possible grammar mistakes). Of course, this will only point out the basic mistakes but its a good start!

Get a friend to read it
Get a fried to proof read your article before you post. Preferably a blogging buddy who is online most of the time. Just message him or her and post your article into the IM / messenger window.


PS:
One of the reasons why PPP started off the PPP segmentation thing was because of bad English. Many non-US posties took offense to this and stated that our English is just fine. Theres just a handful of bloggers whose English was really poor. I guess this is one example Ive found on the web. Incidentally, the blogger in question is also a postie.
