You have nooooo idea how badly I want to send this. Not gonna say what site this is about, so please don't ask, but it isn't this one.
I appreciate your feedback on my stories, but based on the tone of your message, I'm afraid I am no longer interested in offering you my services. You complimented my creativity but said I lack grammatical capability, when I know that grammatical accuracy is one of my greatest strengths. I happen to be quite adept at "sneaky English rules," having minored in Creative Writing in college. No one's grammar is perfect, however, and I embrace learning in all its forms, provided it does not come smothered in barely-concealed slights. If you share a similar interest in learning, I would be glad to point out your own grammatical errors in your previous message.
I do understand why reading level matters so dearly to this site. Clarity and brevity are the essence of communication. This sometimes results in children being able to understand a message intended for adults, which I'm sure you would agree is an unfortunate side effect on a mature cat-breeding simulation. Therefore, it is surely no loss to reject me as a candidate, as my writing is intended to be understood by all ages. Thank you for your time, and have an evening as enjoyable as mine has been.
