Have you ever read an ad, or seen a social media post, and the wording was just a bit off?  Or at least not the form you were used to?

I’ve heard it said the most commonly spoken language in the world is BAD ENGLISH.

In reality, it may just be the dialect of the region it’s coming from.  Obviously, British English is in some ways different from American English.  A biscuit in England is what Americans call a cookie, and a boot is not just footwear but also what Americans call the trunk of the car. Americans, too, change words based on regions; a soft drink is also pop, tonic, coke (not just CocaCola) or soda.

And then there are other nations. Australia and New Zealand are generally close, but South Africa and Nigeria have their own English words.  And there are more English speakers in China than the USA.

So what? you say.  The so what is that a native speaker from the region of your customers is more likely to pick up the local nuance, to understand what is a bubbler, a low country boil, a carry in dinner, or the shopping buggy. The language will flow more naturally.

I’ve lived in the South, New England, Europe and the MidWest.  I have a minor in English and skilled at storytelling, technical writing and marketing copywriting.  

In short, when you hire Harwin House Media, you’re getting skilled writing and editing from a native speaker.  

And that makes a difference.
