On the email that you sent to me, there is a statement that says "Asking questions http://www.akaqa.com/ask: Writing a detailed question with proper grammar is proved to get you a good and quick answer." The correct grammar is "has proven to give you a good and quick answer.".

Translating from one language to another is difficult, especially when dealing with the English language. The owners of the forum do not speak English but I believe they speak very well for having English as a second language. You can let them know about the correction by clicking the contact link at the bottom of this page. The intent of the message however is to not come to a question and answer forum and type in a question like, "my car won't start". There's no real way for us to answer that. Detailed questions get answered faster and with real answers, not guesses. If you are that interested in critiquing how people write, stick around and see some of the questions we have to decipher in order to attempt to answer ;)
By the way, you did not correct it correctly. It should read, "Writing a detailed question with proper grammar has proven you will receive a good and fast answer."

Educated people use proper grammar and spelling to communicate the written word effectively and successfully. We should not let our standards down, as in the real world it does matter. When you are on such a forum as this, you are not chatting with your friends on-line, and we do expect these standards to be utilized. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
