Reviews with Horrible Spelling and Grammer

i've come, across millions of like so horrible badly awful reviews lattely to, and, theyre filled, like, with, so many errers. no capitolizations, ect. that theyll not readedible. it seems, like, every words and sentences, like, is filled with a thousend commas. commas appear so, like, meny times, and especially if their, before words "like", "and", "but", "so", though it "ALWAYS" never makes SENCES. i also find that many reviewers LIKE to USE capatol LETTERS throuhtout every reviews THAT i feel liek theyre shoutting!!!!!! its good that they dont use two meny exclaimation points so much though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

lets not even so like talk about how meny sentences our in a paragraph.

that would be anuther problem then we will fix it ladder to.

oh well.....we can only try...... so, like, we can also talk about ellipses.........but so they are, like, to confuzing for now to talk about.

Okay, enough of that . . . some of the reviews I've seen recently are simply atrocious. Many reviews are so bad that they're barely readable. They're filled with sentence fragments, excessive use of commas, lack of capitalization, and so much more. Although I don't feel that it's the job of an editor to determine whether or not a review should be published, there have been several instances recently where I've returned reviews to the queue simply because they were so bad. I just sent one back, along with a note to the reviewer, with a request that all of the capitalization errors should be fixed and then resubmitted (I don't believe that a single word was capitalized).

As I rule, I try to make each review readable and then post it. In the event that a new reviewer's work required a significant amount of editing, I'll also post a comment that they should look into the mentor program. Hopefully, some of these new reviewers will take advantage of the program.

Another thing that I find very interesting is that sometimes the people who write the worst reviews will then rate the editor poorly. Visitors who comment on such reviews will also rate the reviewer poorly based upon the content of the review and not on what the editor did to correct the grammar, punctuation, syntax, etc., in order to make it readable (although they really have no way of knowing how bad the review was in its original state). Just as interesting is that after some reviews have been very heavily edited, they will receiving many "extremely useful" ratings. Of course, that's sometimes a good thing.

Overall, I think that EF did a very wise thing by instituting the editor program. Just imagine what things would be like without it! so lets just hoppe that they keep the programs cuz it helps clean up all of the messes that are, like, so many out-there, and then every thing well be OK but then it will bee good two. i think thats good do you?
