Wel thats entirely your opinion. Yale has loads of students who do not know perfect english. There are international students as well. Is your point really about "proper English"? Really?

You're kind of right - my point isn't so much about proper English (whatever that is) as it is about clarity of expression. Essentially, I wonder if you would have a better chance of getting into Y Combinator if you had a good editor proofread your Y Combinator application and your website.

I don't think so. YC values idea, team and traction as someone mentioned here. I guess we lack on all of these fronts and hence did not make it to YC

It's very interesting that you ask for help and yet are extremely combative.
