Just test him with the sentence above; unless he can find at least 4 glaring mistakes, he can't.

That i can't tell, but i am pretty sure you can't proofread any essay. You would most likely introduce more errors. I am wondering why would anyone ask such a dumb question. Someone in this forum (FB or WB) will call you the F word.

You certainly seem to know about not being able to write well. Too bad that has nothing to do with the question being asked.

Slow, down, I'm taking notes!
Things editor75 can't recognize:
1) rational arguments
2) irony
....
OK, I'm caught up. You may continue.

I'm guessing you think this is sarcastic and cutting, but it's pretty weak both as an argument and an insult. At least Eddie has some semblance of wit, is able to use figurative language, etc. You're really outclassed here.

It is a bit hard. It is what I'm experiencing right now. T.T english is not my native language but since I am trying to explain something I end up being psycho.

This sounds like a badly-written Magic 8-Ball response. Or advice from Yoda.

I disagree. An advice from Yoda would be something like:

Translation: I'm trying to sell my services as a freelance writer but have poor writing skills in the English language. I tried to look smart by posting a thread that showcased the best of my substandard skills, but it did not work out the way I thought it would.

I've never really liked the Star Wars movie and don't know them well, so I am fully willing to concede this point.
