Dr.Ayk

Anyone could help me in proofreading my essay. I'm resident in Jeddah. I can help in learning Arabic. Anyone are interested in language exchange?

Alliecat

I'd be happy to give you a hand as long as it won't take some ungodly length of time.  How many pages is it?

Dr.Ayk

Thanks a lot Alliecat

That's why I didn't agree yet!  First I need to know the number of pages, and then I need to see a sample page.  If the 'proof-reading' means a complete rewrite, that's me you'll see running for the door :lol:

Dr.Ayk still counting the pages, wait alliecat :P

Don't worry, he is busy by the font reduction size.
Expect an answer in few hours :rolleyes:

You're so nice & altruistic Allie :p

I guess I know Alliecat a bit. The draft will drive her crazy and she'll prefer re-writing ;)

--- My fingers crossed, let's see --- :whistle:

My experience has been that often times it's easier (and faster) to just rewrite than to try to edit.

HOWEVER ...  that's not to say I'm going to even do it.  Need to see that sample and know the number of pages first!

Well I tried to stay within the parameters of his writing style and only adjust any grammar issues.  He actually did a very good job so this was entirely possible!
