or do you have an editor or a translator beside you? Let be honest here. Did you really start a discussion or response to a discussion without the help of others? Or have you consulted anyone on what is the best discussion to start or how to give comments?

I work alone, I get a bit conscious whenever I see someone else reading what I'm posting or looking at what am doing here. But I do seek from friends' ideas whenever I want to start something here, look at some interesting subjects too on either book or television and even on the net. But I also have to be aware of it, so I could give better judgment on the topic I'm about to discuss. As for commenting, I welcome other's opinions too and would include it if ever I am convinced by friends..

Yeah, when we are typing and someone at the back looking at we are doing, we tend to feel a little uncomfortable. If I were in that situation, I tend to stop doing whatever it is I am doing.

I do work alone in Mylot. I did not consult anyone to get best description either.This all depends on how actively we participate here. We do need to post quality posts for getting more income. It should be some 4-5 sentences of posts, as length of the post also matters here. Once, we keep posting on discussions, we get the knowledge for sure and get to know the answers for our queries. keep posting and have fun besides earning!

You are right. The more we participate, the more we are able to start new discussions.

Oh, wow, I never thought of that! I work by myself and mostly this is for fun and a little money on the side. But, I never thought of people doing that. I wonder if that gives them an unfair advantage. Personally, I am happy with the amount of money I get here so I don't feel like I need much more help, unless it was to get more referrals or something like that. Now, if someone could tell me of a shortcut to getting referrals, I might be interested.

You asked if we work alone on myLot. Yes, I work alone. I don't have any help, and I don't need a translator. I don't copy and paste discussions, and I don't use other people's idease. I would think that if you need a translator or always consulting other people to answer question then maybe myLot isn't the place for you. Pablo

It is good that you are all in one. I have never have a translator or any help from anybody. I draft my own discussions and try to give comment from my own words, even if my English is not that good. My only 'translator' is my English dictionary. But I think most of us do refer to dictionary to find out if in doubt or don't know how to use a word.

Hello weiyi5151. Thank you for your offer but I think I can manage on my own. I am a Kadazan. I can speak mandarin well and also I can communicate well in English too. So, probably if we have a chance to ever meet face to face, we can speak mandarin and perhaps you can learn my native dialect as well.

Hell no !! I will use these kind of things on mylot.I enjoy typing my honest response to the discussion. I always start a discussion without any help. When I am on mylot there nobody with me,I do it all by myself. People using tricks are tricking themselves because there is so much joy in expressing views on mylot.

Hi figjam00. It is good that we all can contribute our own original discussion. Some of us are still in the learning process. As time goes by, it becomes more and more easy for us to start discussion or to leave a comment.

I do all my own discussions & responses. I dont have an editor or translater. I dont ask people for help in doing discussions or responses. I do, however, look up news items if I can't think of anything interesting to post.

I work alone on the computer and answer discussions by myself. I might ask someone to give me some topic ideas to start a discussion but I work alone.

I certainly work alone in mylot... since i work alone in the office and i do not have any internet connection at home... i also do not ask my husband for any advice since he sometimes think that mylot is a waste of my time... and i always argue with him about that... the only help that i get is the spell check feature...

Hmm i never took anyones help or shared any ideas while responding to discussion on mylot. But i do discuss with my friends about the discussons i start and the discussions i respond on mylot. Never even thought about this idea of Translator and editor. I guess that way we can make things fast. Anyways i dont have any plans of relying on others.

I have always worked alone in Mylot and I have never thought of getting a translater or editor. I always do mylotting at the end of my day, when I'm already done with all my work and my baby is already asleep. Whatever discussion or thought that comes my mind the whole day, I make it a point to jot down or remember. When mylotting time comes, I do it. I get my discussions from my daily living, my experiences, books I have read, shows I have seen or practically anything. What ever is interesting to me at that point in time, I make it into a discussion.

I work alone in mylot. I read discussion then post if I have comments or suggestions. So far, I have never consulted anyone for new discussion that I can start. Cheers!

I also work alone. Sometimes if I stuck in some word or phrase, just browse the dictionary. Believe me that it improved your English a lot. From only writing in short sentences, now I can write long ones and made a better phrasing in English. I never consulted anyone how to give comments in here. Practice makes perfect :)

No. I work alone , no translator.But then again, English is my first language so I don't need any help. But I don't think it is bad that a person who is just learning English to use a translator. Whatever helps you write what you really wanted to say.

i work it all alone. don't have any translator or a teacher beside me although it's difficult think a certain topic because of the language i but still i can manage my discussions. all of my discussions are for all not limited only to man or woman regardless of their age. hope many mylotters do that so that everyone could post and share their ideas.
