Speaking as someone who is a natural proofreader and an excellent writer, I would normally mistrust any site that is in broken English in most circumstances for the following reasons: 1. They simply do not care enough to make sure the site has accurate content. 2. If their attitude towards their site is that way, what is their attitude towards their customers? 3. If they are marketing to the English speaking world, then it is unacceptable in my humble opinion. However, if they are marketing to foreign countries with the native language being something other than English, then it should not be an issue. Laurence
Spun content made by software always show broken english. Minor grammatical mistakes are ok but when you see all the sentences are F..... .p , you need to leave.
i am not so concerned with grammar when reading a website, but if error is too obvious, it makes me skeptical of the information they are presenting. Also i move on to other websites if i find a site too wordy. i found that a lot of times when people don't explain something in laymans term is because they dont know the subject very well, they want you to be confused and think they are smart.
My posts are in broken English but I hope they are not so bad. I am not native English speaker and I do what I can. I try to provide quality and true information. (In short and easy sentences )
it will give a very bad impression,,, i think this is a very important thing to use correct language for having good repute...
If it's a personal blog, it'd be OK with me. If it claims to be a company...I'd think twice before I avail of their service
Not for a service business, blogging for personal reasons is fine by me. I'd worry if a service in bad English provided article creation etc.
no, it really depends ... broken english alone doesn't mean its a scam .. but combined with other factors it does ...
English grammer is hard to digest and there are so many words in the dictionary. I trust the English as long its understandable.
Most of the time, broken English is a sure deal breaker for me (along with way-too-flashy graphics and overselling their product). It really does depend on what they're offering though. You've got to look at things from a world perspective. Some of the smartest people on this Earth do not speak English. They've got skills, great products, amazing services, etc., but they simply don't speak English. It's an unfortunate situation, but to be fair, I always at least check out their offer before moving on.
Definitely not. If you're too unprofessional to make sure your website isn't pleasing to the eye, then whatever product/service you're offering isn't worth my time.
Simply put, no. To me, it shows more than just a professional lacking. I know that not everyone speaks English as a first language, but if someone who is not a native speaker is going to run a website in English, they should put effort into it. I wouldn't trust a website written in broken English anymore than I would trust a website written in chat speak. I guess overall it just shows a lack of trying. If no one took the time to make sure that it was coherent, then they probably don't take the time to double check facts and whatnot that might be on their website.
