Addiction to Lang-8 - zachandhobbes - 2010-09-08
I wrote a whole post about my trip to Japan and I accidentally refreshed and lost it =/.
So I went ahead and correcting a couple posts. It's harder than you think, because they aren't making just simple grammar errors, but the whole way they are writing is sometimes not the "English" style.

"I can help you with your Japanese if you help me with my English." I don't like it when it seems like rote correction. When they actually comment about the entry it definitely feels like they read it and they understand what you were trying to say.
I clearly stated in my profile (in Japanese, English and German) that I won't correct English entries, because I'm not a native speaker. I only correct entries in my native language which is German.
There are so many people asking me to add them to correct their English. Most of the time they've never corrected any entries (you can see that when you go to their profile). I don't add people like that :/
