But what you found upsetting is not what tripped me off; it was the language barrier thing that saddened me. <br /><br />I speak and write English perfectly fine, thank you very much! What this person found to be a language issue was my attempt at capturing the dialogue of a Jamaican. I did it badly, I admit, but this person should have known that dialogue doesn't represent my ability to write English, if, in fact, the narration is perfectly fine. <br /><br />Geesh, a little common sense would've been nice. But, as usual, I bit my tongue and said thank you. <br /><br />FYI, I critiqued their entire novel even after receiving that email.T.D.
