I didn't realize that you had started so recently. I appreciate that patents and papers take time to produce.
I am trying to be helpful when I say that for a company that produces language processing technology, your customer-facing content shows a strange disregard for language. If your writing does not demonstrate that you have mastered English grammar, why should I believe that your software has?
- drakaal 13y agoThe challenge with the website is saying things in such a way that we don't scare off the non-technical, and still appeal to the technical. All cards on the table, there is a lot of discussion internally about who we are writing for. The result is we get a mish-mash of copy from Engineering and Marketing. The PDF I linked to is much better because those were targeted to Engineering managers. The website still doesn't know who it is targeting. http://www.tldrstuff.com http://www.tldrstuff.com knows its audience it sucks much less.
