Edit Something

I am interested in your project. I don’t actually have any pet peeves as regards grammatical mistakes. My pet peeves relate to spoken language, in particular, when someone is giving a speech and the first thing they say is “Um.” My inclination would be to treat students’ write-ups much as I would my regular editing work, i.e. providing a tracked copy, with comments where required, but in this case, adding extra comments at the end to highlight common errors. I registered with Freelancer more than two years ago and have 180 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing, proofreading, and transcribing. I have proofread/edited a variety of academic papers across a wide range of subjects for Freelancer clients. In addition, for nearly two years I have been the copy editor for the International Journal of Wellbeing, an online journal, as well as the copy editor for the Blind Foundation of New Zealand. For two years I was a copy editor for Elsevier Science Publishers in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (during the time I lived there), rewriting text by authors who were not native English speakers. Having been a teacher of English in high school for four years, I have spent many hours making corrections and suggestions for students' essays. For an additional two years I was a teacher of English as a second language. For six years I was a member of a writing critique group, regularly reviewing the stories submitted.

Hi, Having been an ongoing editor of academic papers, my pet peeves have been many, and I try to restrain my temper since the writers are ESL ones. However, singular/plural mismatches and skipping from one tense to the other are two that come to mind off the bat. As I mentioned, I have now developed an instinctive recognition of the grammar mistakes students usually make, and I believe I can do a good job for your website. Regards.

Hello! My name is Dave I'm an experienced editor and writer. Currently, I work on a project of the Wall Street Journal and WeSpeke that helps people learn English using newspaper articles. Regarding your question, I would have to improper use of definite/indefinite articles (mostly in foreign writers) and improper punctuation (mostly in native writers). Feel free to contact me directly to discuss this further!

Hi! As an aspiring novelist, I'd love to take up a project of this nature. Some pet peeves of mine when it comes to grammar is the exceedingly worrying - yet popular - usage of slang, acronyms and text language in any form of writing. Text containing "i"s instead of "I", the incorrect use of semi colon + colons, and improper sentence structure are all equally horrifying.

I think i am up to the job. I have got good grammar and typing skills and i am willing to continue working with you if you find me suitable for the job. the most grammatical mistake that annoys me is using of a pronoun that can only be an object in place of the pronoun that requires a verb such as using than me instead of than I. if you want an example for that the wrong statement says: He went to the club more than me, while the correct statement says: He went to the club more than i did.

Hi! I´m from Argentina and I teach English in my country. Let me say, gramatical mistakes are my pet peeves! For example, something very common here in Argentina are personal pronouns uses. In general, we don´t use personal pronouns because our verbs can say what people are doing, so a very common mistake is that people don´t use personal pronouns. Other thing are the auxiliary verbs, many don´t use them correctly that get me crazy! - Well I wait hear from you very soon! Candelaria.

Good Morning I am very interested in this posting. I am a experienced proofreader/editor and I am looking for long term work. What is my pet peeve when it comes to Grammar? There are a few things that get on my nerves. I hate it when people do not know the difference between , "your, and your're people who do not know the difference between There, Their, and They're Its and it's is some thing that people mix up all the time and it drives me insane. Incomplete comparisons These are just some of the mistakes that I see all the time, even when people are posting jobs here on this site and it drives me crazy

As a previous customer service Team Leader, I was responsible for a team of agents, and therefore quality checking was part of the written communication quality checks. I would check the grammar and sentencing and look to correct and coach the individual for improvement, whilst ensuring the business needs were met. Delivery of feedback was always important to motivate and encourage the individual. Explanations would be given as to why a certain phrase may not be as suitable as another, or making suggestions that improve the way something is communicated. Pet hates: Their/There and They're I would of - instead of "I would have" I am yet to receive any reviews from this site as i am new, however, I hope my experience meets your requirements. Should you wish to discuss my skills and your project further, I look forward to hearing from you.

I was born and raised in the UK, with English being my first language. I was schooled in a private school, which has made me an incredibly conscientious person, and I aim for absolute perfection. Grammatical errors are definitely my pet peeve. I achieved the highest grade (A*) possible in my English qualifications. I'm very flexible for working hours - just let me know. Thanks

I can speak English fluently and I know grammar rules very well. I also work in a relatively short time, and I don't ask for much payment. I'm a new user on this site but believe me when I tell you that you won't regret it if you let me help you.

The grammatical errors that irritates me most are the errors in capitalisation, absence of 's' in third person singular and not maintaining the same tense in a sentence.

I do believe that I am perfect for doing this project because I have the enthusiasm of doing my work giving whole 100%. And I am hardworking too

Your/ you're Effect/ affect Its/ it's Their/ there/ they're When to use which v/s that When to use since v/s from When to use over v/s more than When to use was/ were

Well, I guess the biggest pet peeve would be the use of 'could', 'can' in the future tense, it's something that has always bugged me, although I make my feelings clear by stating other things but I still face difficulties sometimes finding the right word to express the right emotion.
