People actually relate to you more if you throw in some words that don't make you seem like a rocket scientist. I pretty much follow your method of proofreading my submissions, but don't do as many repitiions as you do. That's something I can work on.

I couldn't imagine that English is not your native language. You're writing really well, not just grammar, but the style you use. So it's a little bit a surprise. Also I like how the guys are helping you out with grammar, couple places are pretty interesting and I bet its pretty educational at the same time. Some bits, some situations and wola, you're getting smarter. p.s. English is my 3rd language... Wow, John, you surprised me. I couldn’t imagine that English is not your native language.

But yeah I agree with you on this John. Communicating clearly with the reader is the most important thing, after perhaps the actual content itself.

Its awesome. Now they just need to expand their dictionary. Maybe they should allow user submissions to a centralized db that would upgrade the database based on a peer ranking system.

If it was than only linguists would make successful bloggers. Another great post letting us peek into the kitchen of master chef:)

I really enjoyed your post on proof-reading. My fiance and I both read your blog and we are both constantly inspired by your innovative mind! Thanks, Shelby C. Stidham John-

Well, English is not my first language but I’m wondering about this one:
“Here’s A Few More Related Posts”

Shouldn’t this be “Here Are A Few More Related Posts”?
