4. I'm always running into sites that pay dirt cheap wages to writers

It shows.

No one with any education trusts a business that willingly promotes a website written in tortured English. If you cut corners communicating with me about your business to the point that you're making a fool out of yourself, you don't need writers; you need a career change.

I guess some Americans don't even notice the bad syntax and awkward phrasing, but it's like nails on a chalkboard to me. I just stop reading after a few sentences and close these sites.

And then I go on the freelance sites and see the jerks begging for rapid rewrites at the same abysmal wage.
