I've received some pretty bad articles myself but this one tops them. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. You Get What You Pay For definitely applies here.

LOL - we receive articles like this daily in our submission system - we do our best to delete them as fast as we can, but occasional ones slip through (then we delete as soon as we catch).

Jeff though - this comment made me laugh - I've DONE this! LOL! I've got a 3 stage report on exactly this (and other mistakes) - only 1/3 of it is live but you're so right -LOL!

I wonder if he/she does ebook covers too!

Could turn out to be a best seller.

I got a huge laugh reading that out to my fiancee in an Indian accent. When I was looking for writers, I couldn't believe that they would even provide sample pieces with English like that. Seriously, what are they thinking? Who is going to hire them if even their sample is written like that?

However, jokes aside, you CAN get cheap, decent content if you look for it. I've seen Steve Crooks mention that he found a native English speaker in the States to write articles for $3.50 or so. I found a South African woman who is a native English speaker who writes me articles for $3 each. She's really professional too!

Honestly, I have to wonder who in the developed world would write for $3 an article (you could make more flipping burgers at McBarf's)!

I can not express my feelings when I try to understand the articles. Can not express the pain I got. Really horrible.

If it was written by a human, it makes artificial intelligence look like a definite improvement.

I know what you are talking about with the non-readable articles. I ordered some from a fellow Warrior several months ago and they were AWFUL. Everyone was raving about the quality they got, but what I got was terrible. Asked for a rewrite and those were equally bad. One of my mine even made a reference to "Sylvie Stallone"?? It was a weight loss article, yet they were referencing Sylvester Stallone (I am sure he would appreciate being called Sylvie!)

I watch my dollars carefully, but I guess spending two bucks to give WF a giggle is worth it.

I would demand a refund, even if the 'article' were $0.05.
