Since I’m not an English native speaker, I often make mistakes in writing English.
This topic is for reporting incorrect English phrases in my blog articles.
Feel free to report!
Any suggestion would be appreciated 
To Rael: Please post here!
Hi Takuya,
I wanted to point out a small mistake in the Preferences dialog, under Backup:
Should be:
Backup stores all your data to the local filesystem.
Also similar issue here:
“You can back up your all data to your local filesystem”
Should be:
You can backup all your data...

Thanks Rael,
It’s fine for now. That was so tough!
“The thing happened” was a very Japanese-like expression, haha.
Looks like I have to learn more about the sequence of tenses.
Thanks again for the corrections!
Hi Takuya,
A few small corrections on this page:
This looks like a typo:
“Your Name”
And at the bottom:
If you don't decide what to build
I think
if you can’t decide what to build
is better
Thanks Rael. Fixed!

Hi Takuya,
Here are some corrections for your recent article: “how-i-became-a-full-stack-developer”. Nice article, btw.
I build a whole app alone

Thanks as always, Rael! Fixed

Oops, haha.
I’ve built a scripting language a long time ago but that’s another story lol
Hi Takuya,
I noticed a couple of things on your main page (https://www.inkdrop.app), that I’d like to point out.
“Never miss your ideas
Whenever, even while in offline, you can read and write notes. Just open up the app, then it will be instantly ready for you to start jotting down before you forget the idea.”
my suggestion:
“Never lose your ideas
Even when you’re offline, you can still read and write notes. Just open up the app, and it will be instantly ready for you to start jotting down before you forget the idea.”
“Available on 5 platforms for just $4.16 per month (annual billing). No credit card information required.”
That does sound like a contradiction. I would say:
“Available on 5 platforms for just $4.16 per month (annual billing). Trial is completely free - no credit card information required”
“Clarify your thoughts fast, solve elegantly”
I wasn’t quite sure of the meaning and intent behind this. How does the app help you to clarify your thoughts? What problem is being solved?
Are you trying to say you can “Jot down your ideas fast” or/and “Elegant user interface helps you think clearly”. Anyway I’m just giving some feedback, no specific correction.
best regards,
Rael
Hi Rael,
Thanks for the great feedback!
I basically do a patchwork to make those phrases from other websites
Ahh that sounds better.
Agree, that’s clear.
How about this? - “No credit card information required for 30-day free trial”
Because it would be obvious that the trial is free.
I mean, clarify your thoughts fast by the low-friction note-taking workflow that the app provides so that you can solve issues like fixing bugs and implementing features quickly.
I agree that it’s unclear itself.
So, it has the sub-phrase: “Get a low-friction personal note-taking workflow and accomplish more. With your notes well-organized effortlessly, you can stay focused on doing your best work.”
I tried to say that as short as possible but it resulted in a weird expression 
Sounds good to me.
It is a bit of an unusual expression, but hey maybe people like it

Thanks as always. Updated the website
A small typo in the mobile version (android). It says something like you have been offiline for too long.
It should be offline
Oops, thanks XD
Hi Takuya, not much to correct nowadays 
.
Here’s something small in im-trying-to-sell-my-productive-vibes:
“you can’t ignore the recent generative AI emergencies such as ChatGPT and midjourney in the next 5 years”
emergencies should be emergences.
Although that (seems to me…) a bit of an unusual way of saying it. More common would be:
You can’t ignore the recently emerging generative AI technologies such as ChatGPT and midjourney, and where they’re headed/heading in the next 5 years.
And vague is pronounced as vay-g
