The best part of those posts is they use such Terrible grammar and I'm like, "why would I pay for an essay from someone like that?"

@jsh1138 I doubt it, poor marketing technique and grammar. I am sure that mandatory English comp I and II would have helped with that. It seems like a non-native English speaker, or AI generated.
