I have just tried to publish a couple of articles on Triond and all of them are declined. They say it is because they contain readability errors. I've actually checked and checked the articles again and again using grammar and spell checker and I have reviewed them multiple times and still they are declined.
Now, what really annoys me is that I have seen articles in Healthmad with horrible grammar and spelling and yet for some reason they passed the screening. Some of these articles don't even make sense and clearly were written by non native speakers with limited English skill.

Hi Sup3rdud3, I think the readability problem is not pertaining to grammar and spelling.
I think you copy and paste the article directly from MS Word. In that case, you need to choose the HTML option to paste the content.
Most people do not realize that MS Word contains code. That is why the article appears all right in Word document, and cause havoc in writing sites.
I joined Triond just a few days ago, and so far none of my articles are rejected. I know that spelling and grammar mistakes exist.
That is why I am so sure that the readability problem is not the spelling and grammar problem.
Another point is to keep the paragraph short, at most 3 sentences, and not more than that.
Triond has a clear guide on keeping short paragraphs.

Hello! Based from your post, I can see that you are a good writer. You should not feel bad about being rejected by Triond. There are A LOT of other good sites out there that will pay you well. I can recommend some sites if you're interested. I will not recruit you or anything. I just want to help good writers like you because I know you should be getting what you deserve.
Cheers!
