YO?!
I'm just going to put this out there for anyone it's relevant to; if you write content in English and your English isn't great, please ask or hire someone to proofread + correct it for you. With the advent of all of these freelancer websites, it's fairly trivial to do and it'll improve your content immeasurably (actually it's very measurable, because you'll probably have much better viewing stats for proofread content over non-proofread content). Just thought I'd put that out there, because there's nothing worse than coming across an article that has great informative potential, but is completely unintelligible due to poor grammar. Time is valuable, and if you're not going to invest that little bit more of effort/money into making your content comprehensible, why should someone invest their time into trying to make sense of it?
Anyway, Swiss cheese (specifically Gruyère at this moment) is tasty and here's the issue.
