What is GeoEnglish?

Geoenglish is English written by someone whose first language is not English. Today on the Internet there are many article directories with more and more hopping on the band-wagon every week. Because the majority of these article directories are based on English language submissions and because there are more and more PLR articles being written by people whose first language is not English, I have come to think of this as Geoenglish.

So what makes Geoenglish different to the Queens English? I believe it's in the way sentences get phrased. I can now pretty well pick those articles written by someone from India or from China, Asia or Eastern Russia. Everyone says things in a very particular phrasing that makes them unique and quite different to the way someone who speaks English as a first language says them. And good writing skills today are similar to writing a conversation. These accents come through in an authors writing to me as clearly as if I was hearing the person speak.

US English is different to Australian or UK English and even here some of the nuances either get lost in the translation or have a subtle and quite different meaning.

It's more though than the phrasing of words; it's also in the singular and plural, past, present and future tense of words and the nuances attached to the words. The English language was once cited to me 'as the language of the Geese' and yes, he came from Germany.

I tried to learn German once but never got past putting the hours past the minutes because everything is 'back to front' for someone whose first language is English so I have tremendous respect for these writers who are, by and large, making a pretty good foray into dealing with the English language. I couldn't deal with learning German because it was too hard so the fact these writers have mastered enough skills to get paid for writing English articles is a credit to them as far as I am concerned.

But it still begs the outcome for Geoenglish. I no longer bother with accepting or using any Geoenglish PLR articles because I'm one of these people who won't put my name to something that 'simply isn't me'. I found the time it takes to rewrite these articles was too time consuming and it was far easier to just write them myself.

So as the Internet evolves are we going to get to the stage where we will be able to go to article directories that are country specific? I suspect so and I personally think this will be a good thing. Language, any language, is communication so if we want to target a specific country for a product, it makes sense to me to be able to access articles written by someone from that country and in their own script.

Google's translator is available now but I suspect these GeoEnglish article directories will be a very popular addition to the Internet community generally.
