So many English entries
Feb 22nd 2010 17:17
Sometimes I look at the number of English entries by foreign speakers, and I wish I could zip through them with corrections. Unfortunately, this can not be done. I suppose it's the same with Japanese (or any other language), but it seems English is really hit hard. There's pages and pages of entries waiting to be corrected (if needed), but the support isn't quite there to keep up with the demand.
Does anyone else have this feeling with their respective native language?
I may try and translate this to Japanese at a later time. I just thought I would log on and correct some entries... this is more of a random thought than anything.

As you said, there are a lot of English entries uncorrected by anyone.
This site is very wonderful, so I would like to recommend it to young learners, but I am reluctant to do so.
If they post entries written in simple or even childish English, I am afraid that nobody will correct them.
Fortunately, I have some friends who correct my entries, but I open my page many times and feel disappointed like a child till somebody correct them.
The Lang-8 is collecting premium members.
However, the members who pay the fee don't necessarily have their entries corrected.
I don't have a good idea.
All I can do is to depend on English native speakers' kindness?
This is an architectural issue. I also don't have a good idea. When I started to learn in this site, the situation was better than now. Of course it was easy to prevision the current situation.
英語話者に「親切」にするのは個人としては合理でも、全体のシステムを阻害します。添削活動が不活発な人に添削をするのは、「悪化が良貨を駆逐する」状況を招きます。
