Unless he or she has exhibited, beyond reasonable doubts, the following professional traits,an individual is not certified as a Professional academic writer. A pro-academic writer is:
-A rigorously trained academic scholar with at least a degree or diploma in specific field of study. -A vastly experienced master of law and ethics in the writing profession i.e. understands legal implications of plagiarism and copyright infringement -An expert in using all sorts of citation styles and formarts -An expert in conducting research -Highly proficient in the written and spoken English -Self-driven and independent minded -Above average time management skills
Any persons that certify this accreditation criterion is a potential candidate for the profession of academic writing. For the purpose of making this definition more logical and by all means tolerable in the academic writing fraternity, dissenting but very constructive opinions are welcome.

Heremeout: The Perfect Definition for a Pro-Academic Writer There is nothing like a 'Pro-Acdemic Writer'. There are two types of writers, a) Honest and qualified writers who DO NOT engage in the fraudulent business of helping students cheat the universities and b) dishonest and (dis)qualified writers who purposefully engage in helping students defeat the whole essence of education.Heremeout: -A rigorously trained academic scholar with at least a degree or diploma in specific field of study. -A vastly experienced master of law and ethics in the writing profession i.e. understands legal implications of plagiarism and copyright infringement... WHO DOESN'T HELP STUDENTS CHEAT THE SYSTEM-An expert in using all sorts of citation styles and formarts... WHO DOESN'T HELP STUDENTS CHEAT THE SYSTEM-An expert in conducting research... WHO DOESN'T HELP STUDENTS CHEAT THE SYSTEM-Highly proficient in the written and spoken English... WHO DOESN'T HELP STUDENTS CHEAT THE SYSTEM-Self-driven and independent minded... WHO DOESN'T HELP STUDENTS CHEAT THE SYSTEM-Above average time management skills... WHO DOESN'T HELP STUDENTS CHEAT THE SYSTEM

queen sheba: There is nothing like a 'Pro-Acdemic Writer'. First and foremost, begin by learning how to use quotation marks correctly. Secondly, I would like to bring it to your attention that whether you hate it or otherwise, academic writing has become a profession, and very learned people are earning a living out of it. Please change your mindset about this fact.Thirdly,I do not see any aspect of "cheating the system" if the system can no longer function properly without academic writers.You are badly lagging behind serious facts, dear Queen.Lastly,because I already knew there was no such thing as "pro-academic writer," I just came up with the idea, how about that?

Heremeout: First and foremost, begin by learning how to use quotation marks correctly. Thank you, Shakespeare wannabeHeremeout: Secondly, I would like to bring it to your attention that whether you hate it or otherwise, academic writing has become a profession, and very learned people are earning a living out of it. It doesn't matter whether it has become a 'profession' or not; the fact is- it is wrong HELP students cheat through the universities. 'Very learned people' as you put it are up there in the corporate ladder, not roaming writing sites scavenging for desperate and ill intentioned students.Heremeout: Thirdly,I do not see any aspect of "cheating the system" if the system can no longer function properly without academic writers. No. Universities can function PERFECTLY well without students who shouldn't be in the university in the first place. If you cannot produce a decent essay, you have no business being at the university. Heremeout: You are badly lagging behind serious facts, dear Queen i am not lagging behind anything. it is you and co. who cannot see the intellectual damage you inflict
Heremeout: Lastly,because I already knew there was no such thing as "pro-academic writer," I just came up with the idea, how about that? You sound corny.

queen sheba: 'Very learned people' as you put it are up there in the corporate ladder What you do not understand is the fact that some of those "very learned people," had their PhD theses written by professional academic writers. It is not wrong or immoral for a student to seek help from the experts.This does not, in any way, make them dunderheads or unworthy to be in the institution of higher learning. Moreover,students have varied genuine reasons for seeking help in writing. Here are a few of them:
-Some are very bright but with a major weakness in English -Some are extremely preoccupied in other academic related tasks and have no sufficient time to beat certain crucial deadlines -Some just need the input of a second or third party to help accomplish their academic projects based on diverse ideas -Some simply need assistance with research work -Some seek help because of very logical personal issues i.e. sickness
What matters is that students complete their coursework, graduate, land themselves great jobs, and be able to deliver quality.They know pretty well what they are doing, aren't they?

Finally, you admitted I was right. Btw, I have pointed out mistakes in your writing before, but you have been so ignorant that you do not accept this. I am not proud, but sorry that you have earned your so-called degree in English and still you are confused in using confusing words. I think you scammed your proofreader/editor by not paying him/her for pointing out and correcting mistakes in your posts. :D

However, i have no problems resorting to dirty language if that is what you can understand. I don't need to convince anyone i am a senior lecturer (not professor) . In fact lets put it this way: i am a high school dropout

queen sheba: I am an Ethiopian lecturer, 31 and teaching economics at a private university in Nairobi. I also teach two other UK universities via teleconferencing. They allow "lecturers" like you—below the level of assistant professors—to teach classes at private universities? I sure as hell hope that the students are paying JC rates, at best.

WB please forgive her, she didn't know what she was talking about. I am ashamed to be associated with Queen. In Kenya, where I hail from (unfortunately), we do not accommodate such low profiled lecturers, talk less of a senior one or a professor.

pheelyks: Saying, "your writing sucks" isn't pointing out mistakes.
How do you write, if you cannot read? You may go through the posts again. I pointed out mistakes with your "conditional sentence" and another sentence in which you were referring to "a" writer by calling him/her "they".
pheelyks: Even if this were true, he's still one up on you. from How to initiate the process of being an essay writer?
pheelyks: You don't need to tell a good writer how to do their job, either.
pheelyks: The writer needs a dictionary, and should shy away from using words they don't really know. from I wrote a paper for a client. How to get paid?
These are grammatical mistakes by a writer having degree in English!
The solution for "they" can be:
pheelyks: You could try "he or she." from WRITERS PLEASE BEWARE OF ALERTPAY

amnateeb: These are grammatical mistakes by a writer having degree in English! No, they aren't. The first case isn't incorrect at all, and the second is a matter of changing usage; while "they" is not considered acceptable as a gender-neutral pronoun by textbooks and some academics, this usage is growing in popularity and in justification. Using it when referring to a specific, identified individual in the sentence I corrected is silly, though.
Once again, making invalid claims isn't the same thing as pointing out actual mistakes.

Earth to idiotic cretins. If "were" was correct, the next sentence should have been in past tense. For instance, "if that were correct, I would be still one up on him", because he was referring to a situation in past. The result could be present, if he was drawing a conclusion with his statement.
How can it be that you haven't studied grammar? "Uneducated buffoon", WildBoar! Now go f*ck off.
And regarding the use of "they", "the one" should be used in the sentence, if not "he/she".

amnateeb: If "were" was correct, the next sentence should have been in past tense. LMAO x3!
1. You made the exact same mistake AGAIN by using "was." You are referring to a HYPOTHETICAL situation, you uneducated nitwit.
2. In a subjunctive situation, the secondary sentence has no bearing whatsoever on the first sentence.
3. The "would be still one up on him" text in your "example" follow-up sentence is NOT past tense. However, your use of "would" is proper because you are referring to a hypothetical event that is attached to the subjunctive "were."
Do yourself a favor by studying the subjunctive.
This, my friends, is why uneducated, unqualified, ESL writers continue to damage the research industry.

"Was" can also be used, and if you can understand, please consider the use of "should have been".
I know what subjunctive mood is.
WritersBeware: your use of "would" is proper because you are referring to a hypothetical event that is attached to the subjunctive "were."
This is what I wanted to highlight. This industry needs proper use of English grammar, certainly not the one your goat, pheeleaks uses.
WritersBeware: This, my friends, is why uneducated, unqualified, ESL writers continue to damage the research industry.
Tell this to your goat pheeleaks by replacing "ESL writers" by "pheeleaks".

"Note: the verb to be can be specific in the if clause. If I were rich, I wouldn't work. If he were younger, he would marry her. (But was is also possible: If I was rich, I wouldn't work.

A quick recap for anyone who's interested:
-I began a sentence, "Even if that were true..." -amadweeb insisted "were" was incorrect and should have been "was" -I ask amadweeb to cite a source backing up his claim -amadweeb posts a source quite clearly saying "were" is preferred in many cases but that either word is correct -amadweeb pretends he proved his point when in fact his own source defeats his argument -I am left astounded by the willful ignorance of this assh*le
