RE: Swapsteem - The problem domain and Solution

in #utopian-io6 years ago

There is a lot to like about this post. Swapsteem is an exciting new service that may prove useful to many Steemians.

However, this post has seriously issues of readability stemming from style, grammar, and proofreading problems. I'll cite some examples.

  • "In some of the countries like India and China etc. trading cryptocurrency is not supported by their governments." A very common issue with writers for whom English is a second language is using sentence structure that is convoluted and not quite English, with multiple redundant words. Here's a simpler version of this sentence: "In some of countries, like India and China, cryptocurrency trading is not supported by the government." Same meaning. Fewer words. Easier to read.

  • "As the first peer to peer exchange for Steem blockchain, Swapsteem is committed to build an open source software that enables Steemians to convert Steem/SBD to fiat and vice versa" has a few issues. I would consider breaking it up to two sentences, but that's a matter of preference. It should be "for the Steem blockchain" and "Swapsteem is committed to building." Finally, "software" is a noncount, which means you can't put "an" before it.

I make style, grammar, and proofreading a priority for one reason: Readability. You want people to read your post. You want them to read the entire thing and understand it. Proper writing makes that easier. If I may tout my own work, I would recommend my recent post about writing great Utopian Blog posts. It has some tips and advice you may find useful.
