Title: Lethn's proof reading and research service
Post by: Lethn on May 26, 2014, 01:20:10 PM
So I'm trying to find more ways to be productive with my time while my brain is working on things and one thing that should be obvious to everyone who's seen me around long enough I spend a lot of time on the internet and particularly Bitcointalk. In order to monetise this I thought I might try what some other people have done and use my proof reading skills to make some coin since I'm not willing to dirty my signature with campaign signatures and spam the forum in order to keep to their ridiculous requirements because I think even a fifty post minimum is hard to keep to if you want to write something meaningful.

If anyone wants to post or PM me any offers let me know! I'd be happy to take Litecoin payments instead if you don't want to part with Bitcoins because of the price, I'd also like to do this as a way of increasing my reputation so feedback is definitely welcome, I have also decided I will go and research or find something out for you if you don't know where to look.

Sure, I'll give a couple of trials away if it's short and holy shit that really is bad, not just the grammar, is this what you meant?

Pool might be for some and others not for some and others.

I took it as not pleased with it.

This is the main reason I left. hourly stats. weekly payouts for low miners. It's basically for the big boys.

Check out coinshift, they payout daily for .001 stats. so if you make that in 2 days the third u get paid. doesn't sit for a week to two weeks if mining and you just rolled over sunday with .0009.

Check out Coinshift, they pay out daily for 0.001BTC, so if you make it in two days or on the third day you get paid.



I'm afraid I actually gave up on that last sentence you wrote about the mining rollover, the words are too broken up, is this roughly what you meant?

Edit: Just took a look at Coinshift's website which explains things nicely on its' own.

lol! Thanks Biz :P Don't know if anything will happen and I've just seen a dramatic jump in my art quality so I may be too occupied soon enough but we'll see.

Edit: LOL! That's bad, I just noticed that I wrote "wrote" as "wrong" ah well, typos happen to everybody.

Yep >_<

Edit: Just as a note to anyone considering what happens when you write stuff, if after you pay me I discover typos or something wrong with it I'll be sure to look it over again and fix it for free :P

If you're going to offer such services people are going to critique you and point out your errors. You regularly call out people's poor grammar on here yet make such mistakes yourself.

And you don't need to use exclamation points to end every sentence:

"Elmore Leonard wrote of exclamation marks: "You are allowed no more than two or three per 100,000 words of prose." Which means, on average, an exclamation mark every book and a half. In the ninth book of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, Eric, one of the characters insists that "Multiple exclamation marks are a sure sign of a diseased mind." In Maskerade, the 18th in the series, another character remarks: "And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five? A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head."

Haha. Brilliant. Are you genuinely being serious there? You haven't fixed it at all. You just colossally broke it by fusing my sentences together to form one big fuck-off paragraph. 

I think somebody else recently called you out on your run-on sentences as well. You might want to look into them because you often make these mistakes.

Let me know if you ever need someone to proofread your posts or proofread your proofreading. ;)

You really need to learn how to use full stops properly (not to mention other basic grammar as well). You've just punched yourself in the face twice there.

Let me guess: You'll edit all this into one long sentence now as well?  ::)

And proofreading is one word. As if you couldn't display any more irony on this.

You like to talk all kinds of shit don't you? You keep claiming I'm using full stops wrong and yet you're using them constantly and you keep making a paragraph per line, when they're supposed to be used for a new subject to seperate out your writing. Anyone with a brain looking at my writing will know it's correct and the only reason it looks long is because the width of forum posts is wider than what is normal for a word document or for websites where you have control over that sort of thing and it's a common thing for forum software. You want to talk about irony? I could keep on correcting you if you like or you can quit trying to internet stalk me like you have an obsession because you always try and look for something to attack me on in threads which is pretty funny, it seems being a hero member here means you always get your own personal stalker.

If you say so Lethn. I'm hardly stalking you, so you don't need to flatter yourself, but I'll point out your hypocrisies and errors when I see them (which are often). The thing is, you like to point out people's errors and (try) assert your superiority, but absolutely cannot take it when anyone criticises you or points out your own contradictions or fallacies, and when they do on that block list they go. And you can point out my errors if you wish, but it's you that is laughably offering a proofreading service when you can't even proofread your own post offering such services.

And read up on run-on and fused sentences.
