Does Grammar and Quality of Language In Posts Affect Earnings?

I really hope that is not true as it would not be fair to those whose native language or mother tongue is not English. Since myLot is open to the international community, I do hope that it is making an exception to the level of English expected from its members. Grammatical errors and spelling errors are the common problem when we are not from an English speaking country. However, based on your observation, I think what actually happened is that the myLot earning system must be using some kind of software that reads the words in our posts. The system must have been designed to read English words only and may be some basic grammar as well such as He goes to school and they go to school. Therefore, if a member wrote a post with lots of spelling errors and grammatical errors, it would be possible that the earning for that post would be lower. Anyway, that is just my opinion based on a logical thinking how a program can give a certain marking to a post based on words and grammar. I doubt that the earning calculations are done manually by human beings. So, my advise would be pay attention to your spelling and if you can, improve your grammar. I am still doing that myself as I am from Malaysia. Cheers!

I don't agree to this totally. Yes, good English gramatically helps the reader understand your post better, but I don't think that it will help you earn more money. Few days a back, I responded to a post, which at first had very bad English, so first I had to guess the question & then respond to it. So, if you write better English, then it will be better understood by others & then you may get more replies.

Yes I think they do because there are times that I do not get very high pay in here since i sometimes am not writing properly in here. It is also written in their guidelines that we have to write with quality not only with quantity but since english is not my first language I tend to commit mistakes many times.

I think the rates are based more on the content. As for grammar and quality of language they may affect earnings. This is only an opinion based on the fact that however good the contents of our discussions are, bad grammar or language may make people confused, misunderstand, or simply do not understand what we are trying to convey. I have been doing postings using the same style since the day I became active. Yet my average earnings is still low. I am not complaining because I believe myLot sticks to certain guidelines. Maybe there are other factors such as the number of positive ratings we have received so far.

I was thinking about starting a discussion like this. xD I tend to notice posts that have proper grammar more because I find them easier to read and understand, but that doesn't mean I'll rate them more. =P People tend to prefer reading things that are easier to understand rather than searching for their point. Many people, even though they may not know how to express themselves grammatically correct, have just as good ideas, if not some better, than people who are able to type properly in English. It's perfectly understandable that some may type with less use of vocabulary and grammar than others, as we all come from different backgrounds. =P It's all about content, in my opinion. If you have a good idea, and you *know* how to get your point across, you'll most likely receive a positive rating from me. If not, and I really can't understand what you're trying to say regardless of grammar usage, I probably won't rate. I think everyone should just try their best and don't worry about grammar. =P It's a given that some people will be worse in this than others.

Hope you won't mind me by responding about your question,I am very new with this site, just registered a day ago, but I think that it is but customary for anyone, including this site where we are in now to consider spellings, and grammars, in our responses, for one reason that, there are words that homonyms, antonyms,and the like, that when one misspells, the word automatically generates a different meaning, also when it comes to grammar, wrong grammar sometimes deviates the thought that you want to imply to another, thus, confusion to the reader develops. I for one do not say that I am good in spelling as well as in grammar, but,well, what I can say, I saw the criteria of this site as to how they rate our responses. They say, we should respond with essence.Chow

Yes, you do get paid more I think with the quality over quantity. So when people can understand a discussion more, you in turn will get more posts back to it, along with your earnings going up as well. Since myLot's main language here is English as this site is based here in the USA, that is why English is important for sure.

I'm not so sure but I've been conscious about it from the beginning. Also, I do not understand how exactly we earn from all the posts we do. What I do is post as many as I can in one day, rate other mylotters, be conscious of what I write then sit back and relax and wait for the earnings the next morning. LOL!

I believe it does. It says somewhere in here that the quality of your responses makes a difference. Don't bother if you're not familiar with English its the content they're looking at. I'm sure of this.

Hi Syfarisk , I am not aware whether Mylot closely checks everyone's grammar or punctuation when deciding on Payouts for Individual Users on Mylot . It looks more for relevance of the Response to the Discussion started;as well as the quantity . It might be possible that Mylot Calculation Logic looks for certain Keywords in our Post and gives negative weightage to some other . This might explain the difference in the earnings for differing Posts . Regards Sweety_81

I don't know exactly the effect of earnings about grammer and quality in posts,English is not my mother tongue,grammar mistake of posts is ineluctable.In my opinion,there are no relation to those,there are thousands posts everyday on mylot,who are judge those?the web master?I think it's impossible.Maybe the earning affected by the quantity of words in your post and your reputation.you said your earning on the rise that you pay attention to your grammar,are you sure that there is no other reason than that?what's the basis for judgment?

I am not sure about this. But some said, one has to post atleast 4 lines to receive good pay.

Well basically I believe Grammar and Quality of a language does affect your earnings. Maybe its because the Site administrator would want to have the best and understandable form of language.

I hope this isn't true since I'm not from a country that speaks English and I have learnt most of my English myself.

Yes Grammar and Quality of posts affects earnings.It becomes easy for other mylotters to read and respond to your posts.You will get many responses if the quality of the discussion is good.Congratulations on making higher earnings.

I'm really intrigated by this! Keep this thought for a whole...Would mean your posts are controlled! Keep me up about your experienc, please!

I think: Let it affect your earnings or not, it surely affects your personality in myLot.Our aim should be to provide some quality content to this community and we should be alwyas careful about what we post and how do we post it.Remember, what we write implies your personality.One can rate your personalty going through your postings.Your posts might not get responses today, but it will get responses for sure.In the case of responses the post which is written gramatically and the post which is written without grammar are alike, I think.Both get responses.But in the sense of quality content that myLot is paying for, I think they do check the quality of the posts too.Anyway it's my opinion.The truth might be different.But personally I would like make some good stuff.Thanks:)
