It just annoys me when writing is so bloody sloppy that it is literally incomprehensible. I have received messages so badly written that I could not understand what was being said: That is sad, to me. Oh well. Back to business, I guess... Yeet! Yeet!

As far as making millions from excelling in written language: Many, many people have and will continue to; go look at your local library, filled with books from brilliantly and creatively literate people, if you don't believe me--not that literature should be about making money. You are 100% right. There are many people who have made money from it. But it has to do with more than their knowledge of their native language. It also has to do with their very creative minds. Besides...in todays society, you could be completely ignorant, not know how to read, and still get a book published. All you have to do is pay someone to write it down, someone to proof read it, and someone to publish it. Then...you walk away with the cash.

can you under stand what every one has said so far in here? For the most part, yes! Some have been more coherent than others, though, frankly (not that I'm one to judge, yes, you're right, speaking mostly in Raccoon). I guess if comprehension is all that matters, then we're square. You are 100% right. There are many people who have made money from it. But it has to do with more than their knowledge of their native language. It also has to do with their very creative minds.

All you have to do is pay someone to write it down, someone to proof read it, and someone to publish it. Then...you walk away with the cash. Come now; the most brilliant authors of all time--or even those worth mentioning--have/had exceptional knowledge of English, by necessity. Those who pay others to write for them are not worth mentioning among "the greats." I agree that creativity comes into play here, as well, though. Of course. We have made many things cheap, tawdry, and "too accessible" (if you will) in today's society, I also agree. That does not negate those who genuinely create literary art; they, by trade, must have technical knowledge of their craft that compliments their creativity. Anything worth doing is difficult or tedious in some fashion, I think.

so what was the point of this topic Does everything have to have a point, miss? But, since you asked: 1. Identifying this site's users' grasp of English: ACCOMPLISHED. 2. Placating my boredom: ACCOMPLISHED. 3. Getting an English person (A.K.A. Dan99) to comment: ACCOMPLISHED. 4. "YEEET! YEEET!" : ACCOMPLISHED. The End. :(
