MeoKhan: Any competition which disregards human rights and respect is not a competition
So, I know you're preaching tolerance for mistakes and everything, but statements that are self-contradictory really stand out.

pheelyks: tolerance for mistakes
Pheelyks, is it now between you and me? Are you trying to cyber-stalk me?
Is it necessary for you to uselessly poke into my posts every time just because I have challenged your "Native-Speakerism"?

MeoKhan: "Native-Speakerism"
I really don't care if someone else is a native speaker or not. The problem is when I can quite clearly tell that someone passing themselves off as a writer is not a native speaker. If I couldn't tell the difference, there wouldn't be an issue; it's the quality of the language produced, not the national/ethnic background of the writer that's at issue.
Also, if you respond to my post and I respond back, I'm not "poking into your posts." It's called a conversation, and it's how these forums work. If you can't handle it, leave.

Pheelyks like before I'd repeat. You need to read a bit about recent research done in the native speaker countries ON native speakers; you'll come to know how fluid this concept is.
Ok, thank you. I am leaving..........................the door opens and..............sheeee....thud! You happy? :-(

I understand that there are different dialects of English spoken in different countries. There are also rules that are still insisted upon in academic English regardless of this fact. I have also asked you for titles and authors of these books you keep bringing up, and you can't even list one. That's a) poor research skills and b) poor debating no matter what country you're in or what language you speak.

Yeah....not too busy to come make some pointless comments here, but too busy to google the title of one of these books you know so much about....
Again, the language issue is only a small part of your problem. Being stupid must be a lot harder to deal with.

Because you're saying things that Cleopatra said to Antony. When I can google the book titles, I hope you can do it much better than me.

So you've moved on to the point where you don't even try to add anything constructive to the forum. Awesome.

I agree with DontBugMe - as with working for companies, there are pros and cons to working with private clients. However, I prefer working for private clients. It is much more personal than having a mediator, and it also allows me to ask questions and find out exactly what the client wants. The work they receive is thus to a higher standard.

What companies do you work for where you can't ask clients questions?

Hi pheelyks,
Whilst you can ask questions with other companies, I do find being able to ask the client directly saves a lot of time and allows me to get more specific details.

How exactly does it save time? I email clients that I work with directly, and contact clients through companies by email, as well. If your system doesn't provide for such communication, you work for a sh*tty company (not too surprisingly).
Also, do you think using "whilst" (incorrectly, by the way) makes you sound educated?

I hadn't considered this until now, but yes, it does sound rather educated.

Some might say "pretentious," but fine. Look it up before you use it again.
