Well, if your thread title is any guide, you'd be better off asking somebody else.

This is terrible English. Might I try to make this sound correct?


IS THERE ANY WAY FOR ME TO PROOF READ MY OWN ESSAY?

For spelling, read the material backwards.

For grammer, find the subject/verb for each sentence and be sure all surrounding clauses are in tense agreement.

For paragraphs, make an introductory statement. Then write two supporting sentences; then write one summary sentence.

Any comment would be superfluous.

Gee, I just saw "whose" used for "who's" in another thread - but REFRAINED myself from commenting.

Capital letters notwithstanding, you either refrained from commenting, or you restrained yourself from commenting.

@contrex,
Contrex, clearly the person who initiated this thread does not possess perfect English language skills. (Possibly an ESL student, we don't know.)
Which is why s/he asked for assistance.
A2Kers can choose to help or not.
I like to think people can ask for assistance here without being patronized or criticized.

@contrex,
But there's no need to respond at all if you're not interested.
I rarely do.
Others here are much better at giving language advice to those who ask for it than I am & I leave it to them.
