As others here have said, it's very frustrating to see sites submitted with descriptions that make no sense. Those can be changed by the reviewer, but when the actual text on the sites is so hard to decipher, it's impossible to list them. We market to native English speakers, so accordingly the sites we list are for the most part those that are subbed by native English speakers. Of course, there are those who are not native English speakers, but have a good enough grasp that the sites are easily read by the surfers we are marketing to.

It has nothing to do with where a particular site builder is from, other than the text simply has to make sense to our surfers.

It sometimes is like trying to make sense of text that is here: http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2005/s1474686.htm (written by Ronnie Barker).

It's like us trying to make a site(s) aimed at e.g. Italians, when we have very little grasp of how to write in Italian, it just doesn't work. An idea would be to work on TGP with minimal text, until you brush up on your English language until such time that your text will make sense to the English speaking surfers who visit our sites.

Best of luck
