Company #2 in the "ESL Spotlight" series is Academic Network, a Swedish company founded and operated by Ted Valentin. The company's two main sites are uppsatser.se and essays.se, both of which clearly and forthrightly acknowledge the company's ESL nature and physical location in Sweden. The company's secondary sites include avhandlingar.se and dissertations.se. Academic Network makes no attempt to lie to American consumers in an effort to trick them into ordering.

WritersBeware: forthrightly acknowledge the company's ESL nature and physical location in Sweden.
That very much summarises the problem. I know that many here simply won't believe me but, honestly, it is not about British/American sites not wanting foreign ones to enter the industry. Nor is it about native English speaking writers not wanting foreign ones to work as freelancers in the industry. It is about abiding by whatever rules are out there. Chief amongst these is being honest about the geographic location of the service you provide and not tricking consumers. Ukrainian, Pakistani and Indian sites have every right to operate in this industry but they do not have the right to pose as Brits and Americans. I am not talking ethics here but, the law. A host of consumer protection laws outlaw the misrepresentation of geographic origin, quality of service and false/misleading ad claims. What is so wrong about expecting companies in this industry to exercise a modicum of honesty?

Why have none of the resident fraudsters accused me of being "racist" or engaging in "national profiling" in this thread?

ah, WB... you can always be counted upon, when mind-bending monotony fails, to revert to your "inner name-caller."

Why is it that you can't prove your claims against me, little man? Prove that I am a racist or a nationalist by providing concrete details and reasoning.
'Actually' is a conjunction.

I would, WB, but you do such a great job of that yourself... I'm lazy! I don't do unnecessary stuff, if I can help it. and ffs, quit assuming that I'm little. I mean, I assume that you're some sort of obese slag, but I don't get up in your face about it... I might be wrong! you never know.

rustyironchains: quit assuming that I'm little
You may be tall, but I know that you are "little" in the pants. That would also explain why you are as "rusty" with the ladies as you are with the pen.
Only an incredibly insecure, cowardly man issues accusations that he can't prove and then presents lame excuses when directly challenged to step up to the plate.

pants? do you mean penis? are you serious? what are you, shy? pants!
haaa!
don't go there, WB, because it's not weak ground for me. it also makes me wonder about you that way, and when I do that, I vomit in my own mouth, a little.
