RE: Rewarding Broken English: Has Steemit become a platform for practicing English as a foreign language?
totally agree. At the moment, people are only writing in English because if they write in Korean or other minor langauges, they wont a cent..
But I agree with the articles content, so I will improve my posts to not offend anybody.
Being "offended" by poor language skills by an otherwise well intentioned writer is just snobbish.
It is an undercover discrimination. All the post it´s an elegant way to say I don´t want non native speakers here. Or in a really anglo phrase "latin monkeys out of here". That is what I read inter lines here. That is the reason of my downvote to this post. The cry baby don´t want that no native english speakers earn money here. The reason of a social network is expand, but he want to reduce the network. If I write a bad or broken english I need help. We don´t need to be excluded of the network. If we write a bad english, well my Sir, you can correct us. That is my opinion.
Please show me where I said non-native English speakers should be 'excluded' from Steemit.
That is the spirit of your post. Exclude as of Steemit or exclude us of the possibility of post in english cause you don´t like the way and manners of our "broken english". The truth is that you don´t like non native english speakers earn money with Steemit. You don´t like have non native speakers as competitors. The sun shine for all here. That is your problem.
