Offering "professional" services on this site

There was illness in the house this weekend (not me) so it was very quiet. I spent far too much time on this site. It was fun, but as I've written before, disconcerting.

So many people write so poorly. I know this isn't the New Yorker or the latest best seller. A quickly dashed off comment, some of which you can't go back and edit, can get by with a typo or incorrect word usage. I know you're trying to type fast before someone wanders in on you. But so many profiles have glaring errors in their Introduction line and status. They are right out there where they're the first thing you see. I want to scrawl red pen all over my computer screen.

I've never pointed these out to any member. The exception being mentioning out of date status comments. I think those are easy to miss since you don't see your own status unless you look for it. I'm sure pointing out other errors would only insult many folks and I don't care enough to piss others off.

I keep hoping there is a market to offer professional profile editing services. Profile rewrites in exchange for sexual favors. I clean up your commas, you clean my cock.

 I just reread the above. You can almost guess it is a Monday post.

 Why bother to correct the profile when no one reads it anyway?

Oops. The danger of a Monday post.

 I'm also cool with giving a pass if I get the sense that English isn't their first language. Particularly since I only know enough of a second language to get my face slapped.

 Reminds me of the time I was trying to say the pleasure was mine in a French conversation when I said I was having pleasure avec moi!

At least it was in a French conversation rather than a French restaurant.
