No upvotes on Hacker News: Still awesome to submit

Let me suggest, after reading this post and the one on reasons not to use Oracle, that readership (and upvotes) may follow if you improve your grammar. It's not terrible, but it lacks 'quality.' If English is not your primary language, it shouldn't be difficult to get someone you know to help you proofread and edit your work.

Also, while I'm here, I also suggest spending a bit more time reflecting on your blog post before publishing. Is the message clear? Does the post flow well? Just a little extra polish can make your articles much more appealing.

Thanks a lot! English is not my first language, I've been gradually getting better, but certainly a proofread from someone else would help me a lot.

I would pay for a english teacher to proofread and provide writing tips. I tried wordy.com but they just do some basic checking, really.

I think @LorenPaulsson would do this. I can vouch for his language, communication, and editing skills—and his work ethic.
