Improving the comprehension of my articles

A couple of weeks ago TJN quoted one of my articles and observed that my English is not perfect.

 

It is true. But I find it important to run my blog in English despite the difficulties to translate sometimes technical words, even more so, as I am no longer working in an English-speaking environment and I do not have a lot of time.

 

I know that in Luxembourg they enjoy picking up one detail out of the discussion such as an error, a bad translation or faulty grammar, blow it up into a major, major flaw, and use it as a demonstration that the whole study, argument, article is rubbish. Therefore they don't have to address the real issue anymore.

 

As I said, this is stupid as the issue remains and may explode later.

 

In the framework of an improvement process I managed to find readers that work in an English speaking environment to review the wording of some of the articles and improve clarity.

 

I hope that this improvement is somehow visible.
