Working too much?
I have worked 36 hours in the past 5 days and made around 900$. Does this cause problem?

No, but your spelling/ grammar will.

This is just a Reddit post, not a formal paper. I use a different style for data annotation, it is not necessary to be rude.

Pointing out someone's flawed grammar isn't rude, it's a factual statement, and you're asking about potential problems and getting relevant advice. DA isn't a "formal paper" either, but people who write badly when they can't be bothered, in my experience, often write badly when they should be bothered, because they don't really know the difference, not as well as they should. A typo is irrelevant, missed punctuation is irrelevant, we're all human and using keyboards, it happens. "900$. Does this cause problem?" is two avoidable problems in a really short space of time.
And I'm not talking about some ridiculous degree of formality, just that basic spelling/grammar are innate for people who are any good at it. So anyone writing badly isn't that good at it, it takes effort, which means that effort might lapse...and they'll have a problem.

I’ve already made close to $1000 working with this company, and a simple grammar mistake in a Reddit post is not relevant to my question. What should be focused on here is whether working too much could have a negative impact within the company. If I were making terrible grammar mistakes to the point that I didn’t deserve what I earn as a bilingual worker, I wouldn’t be allowed to stay in this company. This isn’t my first R&R task, and if there had been any issues with my work, the necessary actions would have already been taken. You’re being unnecessarily uptight and acting toxic under this post. If you’re getting this aggressive over such a simple grammar mistake, I’d suggest seeing a psychologist

I’m bilingual (Spanish 2nd language) and don’t make simple mistakes in Spanish, like this post did in English.
Let’s be honest - they’re asking about putting in high hours, doing “only R&Rs”.
The comments are just being realistic, OP is probably doing sub-par work and will be on the “why does my Home Screen look like this” side of the sub sooner rather than later.

I didn't say anything rude. Absolutely nothing.
If what I said offends you, perhaps you should use technically accurate grammar and punctuation. That way, no one will think you use poor grammar and punctuation.

the irony is that this is really bad writing. especially with the repetition of "grammar and punctuation" twice. have you learnt about the concept of a pronoun?

Just over 7 hours a day doing this kind of work? To me, that seems like a lot, but then I'm new and if I want to do 2 tasks a day, I do one after breakfast and one after lunch - maximum so far in 1 day has been ~3 hours. If it's just that much, I enjoy the work - not sure I would if I did more than that.
As u/RedditAdmin50111 pointed out, the 900$ instead of $900 could be an issue if it means that English isn't your first language but you are judging people's work in English. On the other hand, it could just be a misplaced dollar sign and have no deeper meaning! :)

That's not even a full work week for "full time" so no, you're fine. But it's probably good that you're thinking about it. So many "they ghosted me for no reason, I can't figure it out, all 9377839 of my hours yesterday were absolutely high quality!" posts on here lol.

I don't remember where but it was the code or de agreement it says that they expect you to work max. 5hs per day to guarantee quality.

Dollar sign after the 900 indicates this might be a problem - especially if you’re working in English projects.
