I just had one of my stories for spelling/grammatical reasons and I have no idea why. I've gone over it a couple of times and it has no spelling mistakes, one thing that comes to mind is that I used the French word "magnifique" once when a character is pretending to pay compliments to the chef after she's finished eating a meal he cooked. I'm not sure if the editors would have an issue with a single French word in a story marked as being in English.
Other than that there's the fact that for some reason the dictionary for the site's story submission section didn't recognise goujon as a word. It is and I spelt it correctly so I'm not sure. Even the forum dictionary doesn't recognise it in fact as my spelling of it in this paragraph is apparently incorrect too.
The story is approximately 5000 words long and is almost completely in English other than the part mentioned above.
+ as it turns out there was a single spelling mistake towards the beginning that I somehow missed. Will see if that was why it was rejected, I've resubmitted it.
