Inglish lyk wot I rite
From an academic perspective, most unsolicited email that I receive comes from garbage-tier open access journals. But there's other life, dwelling among the nether reaches of the pond, ready to pounce on the unwary; and that includes translation services. Services such as those offered by Academia Editing.
Academia Editing's services are available to all researchers who want to Get help in Manuscripts writing, Report preparation, and English Language style and Editing services
. Yes, that's a direct copy/paste from their very own webshite.
It's quite clear to me, as a native English speaker, that this has not been edited or proofread by another. And their website favicon is the same as that of Wordpress. Could it be that this is simply a scam preying on the credulous? (thinking)

At least they're no longer hosted on Wordpress, if the favicon is anything to go by. But Academia Editing's costs are still considerable. Overall, the language isn't terrible, although there's not a lot of it in the first place.
Somebody should tell them that bold text is best used sparingly, otherwise it defeats the object. Oh, and it might not be obvious from the formatting below, but there's a line break between edited
and manuscripts(s)
. Hopefully that'll be picked up during proofreading.
<strong>Note:</strong> You will be issued a plagiarism report and certificate of editing together with your edited<br />
manuscript(s).<br />
