And what kind of "feedback" would you expect?

 

[probus]

Be aware, Mona, that your sentence works only in BrE. In AmE mean is a synonym for cruel, often in a petty way.

I have changed your thread title. For titles, use the words you are asking us about. Your question or request should appear only in the main body of your post. I have changed at least one more of your titles for the same reason.

Not a native. Here is how I would write it...

She was even more tight-fisted than Scrooge McDuck, so she didn't enjoy the money she made in her life.

Why on earth would you change "Scrooge" (literary character in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens) to "Scrooge McDuck" (a childish cartoon character)?

Don't say "Not a native". You need "... native [English] speaker".

I thought that was the Scrooge she meant. In any case, he has to replace it either with Ebenizer Scrooge or with Scrooge McDuck, otherwise it sounds vague -- he might as well be talking about a random person he knows and whose name happens to be Scrooge.

I can assure you that within the majority of the English-speaking world, there is no need to add "Ebenezer" (note the correct spelling). We all know who Scrooge is.
