    You write a description for your application in a language you are not confident in. You are aware you could have made errors, yet you don’t take the time to check it with a grammar checker. It’s a simple process and takes seconds.

    I’d like to point out again that language mistakes have been made in a language-related application. Constructive criticism is fine. The developer will learn from his mistakes.
    At least it’s a marketing mistake. People who use poor grammar are not typically taken seriously.

    “I find it more compelling to read such a description in obviously non-native English…”

    Not everyone agrees, that’s subjective.

      It’s a simple process and takes seconds.

      You have access to the text. Start a stopwatch. Edit the text using grammar-checking software. Post it somewhere on the web, fully-formatted and suitable for marketing purposes. Stop the stopwatch. Publish how long it took you.

      We’ll review your work.

      Yes. This whole thread is subjective. And?
