Hello all, Im Akira07, As we know, content is an important thing to consider in a website. Without readable content the visitor will immediately close our website. I do outsource article to local people, even so they are so confident that their writings are readable by native. Therefore, I wish to ask english native on this forum whether the following two paragraphs are easy-to-understand (readable) or no. Quote:

It's wordy but readable. You have an unfortunate typo in titles.

There is nothing in them that sounds "non English" in phrasing and I think that is what you are asking.

Hi, thanks. So, in simple word, do you think the writer is good enough? |

Based on those 2 paragraphs, the writer is good enough. However, that's not much of a sample to judge by. In a longer article, there could be more errors. Wordiness: The entire phrase "The first thing you need to know is that" is an example of wordiness. It could be deleted without affecting the meaning at all. The spelling is "title", not "tittle." To native speakers, "tittle" sounds like a slang term for certain body parts. |

Hi Gail, thanks for your explanation! Anyway, however I think 2 paragraphs aren't enough to indicate whether my writer is good or no. If you don't mind, can you please check more of his paragraphs: Quote:
