    When I read articles on the internet or see writing on TV am amazed how awful the spelling and grammar are. Looks like these freelancers do a quick spell check and submit without taking time to proofread themselves. One tine there was a sentence I could not interpret at all. Spelling is bad even on the crawls on TV. Where are the editors? I have not read item at the top of the thread but I will.

    "The writers Perfect Pen" link was at start of thread.
    I was not impressed by this essay. It seemed to go off on tangents and I don't think the poetry added anything. I did not get the essays purpose and was glad it was short.

    If you want to see just how bad it is, try putting closed captioning on and watch a few TV shows comparing what is said and what is CC'ed.

    1/ You are hoping that your grandmother/parishoners/pupils won't pick up a book you wrote that full of libidinous, salacious sex scenes, with your name on the cover.

    2/ Some authors have more than one pen name. The pen name is a "brand" for a particular genre. Some authors write literary fiction undoer one name, and slushy romantic fiction/SF/westerns. It gives each series/style its own identity.

    3/ J K Rowling used a pen name for her detective fiction to see if she could prove herself to be a writer of more than Harry Potter. The detective novels do get into the best seller lists, so maybe it works.

    4/ You don't want the authorities to know that it is you that is accusing them of genocide.

    5/ To avoid prosecution for obscentiy or whatever.

    6/ Too many John Smiths.

    7/ To add an air or mystery and intrigue. Sometimes foreign names sound better.

    I know that my spelling and grammar are bad, so whenever I have to write something important I use editing services, as I like everything to look professional. However, when I don't have time to write the text by myself, I use a writing service, I have found the best one after reading this article https://www.bestessaytips.com/review_essay.php. In this way, I don't have to worry that my texts are badly written.

    G'day Deb,

    My father used a Sheaffer fountain pen. The only time he didn't was when he needed a pencil, and on a rare occasion when he was in a bank and didn't have his own pen with him. Even so, with decades of daily exposure to his Sheaffer I had the habit of misspelling it simply because I spelt it as it is pronounced -- 'shay-fer'. Now, when I spell it, I mentally pronounce it as 'she-fer'.

    I wonder it Ted Hughes had the same problem.

    Came across this thread almost by accident. I paid attention to this topic because essays are discussed here, and I currently work at online research paper editor. Therefore, what is being discussed here is very close to me. Although I do not agree with everything.

    Thank you for sharing your experience and how best to correct spelling errors. I also often do them, so when it comes to some important writing paper, I order it from professionals. so it was with personal statement writers for residency Spelling errors are not allowed in a personal statement, so my decision was correct.

    Your writing is vivid and descriptive, and it really brought the experience of using a pen to life. One of the things that stood out to me in your essay was the idea of a pen is a tool for self-expression. I completely agree with this sentiment, as I believe that writing is one of the most powerful forms of self-expression. Whether you're writing a novel, a poem or it resume writer or just jotting down your thoughts in a journal, a pen allows you to take the thoughts and ideas in your mind and put them down on paper. And there's something really special about seeing your own thoughts and ideas take shape in front of you.
