RE: Stereotypes of our mind that make us to be wrong.
Why is this being upvoted? The title is grammatically incorrect. The first sentence is grammatically incorrect. And the author did not even quote Hamlet, correctly. The correct quotation is: 'There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.'
Just today, I have seen several similar high-ranking posts, full of errors, and generally written in broken English. Why are whales upvoting them?
A couple of examples of high-ranking posts written in broken English:

Thank you for showing my mistakes. As i wrote before i had choose STEEMIT for learning, first of all
https://steemit.com/life/@seva/don-t-give-up-if-you-don-t-earn-money-on-steemit
I didn't count on votes. I think i got it because people understand basic principles of what i want to say, and they agree with it.
And you are right about quotation. It is unforgivable laziness to don't check the original source... i will not repeat this mistake in future. Thank you.
Keep up the good work. I think if English isn't your first language, then first of all congratulations on struggling through it and completing this article, but second it might benefit you to point out (maybe at the beginning of the article) that English is not your first language. For example, at the beginning of my last post I placed a brief bio about myself so that people know a little bit about me. I don't think someone who is writing in their non-native tongue should be judged by the same standard as a native English speaker, but due to the nature of Steemit, if you don't tell people there's no way for them to know. Keep up the good work!
I was thinking of making a post about this. Perhaps there should be a specific tag for posts written by non-native speakers.
thank you for good advice and support :)
