Venting

You mean "hence" not "hints" right? Most of the time the MSC has no idea what kind of feedback the editor is giving to their shoppers. If the editor was that awful (saying you were terrible is awful), the MSC management might like to know. I know that one of the MSCs I was an editor for often said about shoppers, "We need them more than they need us." This MSC owner stressed the importance of being gentle and kind when giving feedback.

Since you have identified yourself as a housewife and have done nursing im sure there is someone that is better at grammer and writing in your family. It would be best to have a human look at your writing. Word order and grammer are a bit beyond cpus. They can tell you if the word is spelled wrong but not if its in the right place, if the sentence has meaning, or out of order. I had to check over my exes work because she had a ton of anxiety, a hard time focusing, and did not take secondary language classes.

Commas are often used more than necessary. The simplest way is to just make multiple sentences if you feel you need a comma.

Word is available for iPad and iPhone as is Chrome which I think functions the same way as a PC by letting you know when a word is misspelled. That said, it is still better to write narratives on a PC IMHO. For those who strive for perfection, the spelling and grammar check never seem to be enough. For someone getting back into writing they could be invaluable even while missing a few things here and there.

A lot of people don't want anyone on the forum pointing out mistakes in posts. The idea is we are here to learn and have some fun, not be "graded" on every post. An exception should be made if a member is struggling and asks for help. You can practice your grammar and spelling with each post you write and allow other members to give you some feedback.

Equal rights for others does not mean fewer rights for you. It's not pie.

Start off I'm a newbie so please don't attack me if I'm not writing in the right place. Now on to my venting. I have been a housewife for almost 30 years. I have paying bills, signing my name, nursing, cooking, cleaning you name I'm an expect. Over the years I have lost my writing skills. Sometimes I forget how to spell simple words. Anyways, needless to say when I decided to start MS yes I read where you need to write etc. I figured I had this. With that said I have never been so humiliated and felt like an idiot when I got my feed back. Did a great job other than grammar. Then I would get 7 out 10. That would hurt but I still would get paid my few dollars. I have been doing this for almost 7 months now. This is my only downfall. I'm very good at the shops I do, I give it my all.
Since I started I have been working with several different companies then some how I stumble across M cx and have been quite busy with gas station audits. Which I will get back to that in a minute.
I noticed a atv shop for a price I thought was pretty good so I got it. Easy shop, I get home I start doing the paper work. All the questions pretty well sum the shop up. In the comment section I really didn't think I needed to write much more. Well this was a shop you fill out then wait 48 hours to see if they contact you. Before I would just save it, but I received an email saying summit then they will send it back to me. #1. They were late sending it back to me and of course had me filling the narrative out to all 500 questions. I didn't get the email till late last night so by time I finished it it was early Wednesday morning. Today I get a email telling how horrible I am at writing blah blah IT BEING LATE and they gave me a 7 out 10. That I'm use to but what struck a nerve was when it stated if the company excepts it if I get paid or not. Really! How can they have you do all that work and not pay you? That really bother me, I have been paid so far with all shops so if they come back and not pay me.
Anyways I'm sorry this was long and I'm typing in a hurry. This is my first type writing on here so I hope I can find any responses I might get. I'm not sure how to do that. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated alone with and not even sure but would like to talk to someone privately about a fair price on a shop.

This may ease your mind a little bit... I have shopped for the MSC you are venting about for almost 5 years I have noticed that every time they have sent me the feedback and score on my shops, they ALWAYS say that Payment is contingent on whether the client accepts the report. I usually get a 10 from them, but hardly ever less than a 9. So, I assume that they have to say that in every case. I will get a comment telling me that I scored a 10, and they will point out every thing that I did right to get the perfect score, and then add at the end that this does not guarantee payment. The client has to accept the report for me to be paid. I have always been paid.. I would not worry about that part of it.
I am sorry to hear that the editor talked to you that way. Their comments should stick to only constructive criticism and just explain what you got wrong and why so you will know how to fix it next time.
