Ever think that people are typing at you with mis-spellings and poor grammar INTENTIONALLY to try and teach YOU empathy?

English is a second language for me and I have a lot of difficulty e.g.
I don't know the difference between 'shall' and 'will'. When do I say 'I will' and when 'I shall'
I don't know when to use 'which' and 'that' e.g. 'There's a choice which will help you' or 'there's a choice that will help you'. I have so many other problems...

i have the greatest grammar on this forum, just because i think that. members get use to it, even being jealous of it. so, it is ok that your grammar is not as great as mine, but i still like you. most people who try be blunt with you, you have lousy grammar, don't have tact about it. if you don't like someone's grammar, e-mail not post it. it is proper thing to do. i don't go out of my way, be rude, i don't post anything about your grammar. so, i don't have the greatest grammar in the world, but you have no right to cut me down from other members or staff. little kids don't know better, you do. what are you prove you are better than them or you are annoy by them, because their not up to your standards. if you don't like their grammar, don't read their post or topic. move on. don't be a** about it. i don't really care about my grammar, because the most interest member on the forum, i am legend in my mind.

Have you ever been frustrated that you've made great effort to learn a second language yet most English speakers will not make the effort to refrain from stopping you for poor semantics and typos?

Ultimately, what I have found, is that Grammar-Correcting is a simple man's way of derailing an argument they are not intellectual capable of challenging honestly.

I recon that if you took your time you could write like Tariki but are probably 'normal' and are too busy offline getting laid and attending parties to sit here editing, re-editing and editing some more so that you come off to everyone like Hemingway.

Few folks type in a hurry...sometimes I mistype.
I usually proof read before clicking the "Post" tab...I also have spell-check and it helps.
There are some of us that will intentionally sabotage the English language...but as long as the point is made and we can decipher what they are saying,it can be ignored with tried patience.

Plenty of Americans (aka English first) don't know the difference either. And if you think you know the "rule" to apply, it will surely be the occasion of the Exception! haha

If it's a one-to-one correspondence ... could be

If it's a general post ... I see it as a waste of time, as it will go over the heads of most readers.

I don't have empathy for people with bad grammar. I look at where they're from and judge from there

eb- i thought you were attacking people with bad grammar, then i misread it. we should be more consist to people with bad grammar. eb- i wasn't accusing you of anything. i was talking about members who were mean of telling me that i have bad grammar. but i wasn't going to embarrassing myself, and tell them off on the forum. i made sure that i wrote some sort of comment that they would never bring the subject. they haven't brother me again. eb- you are not fair to me, i was joking through the post, didn't you see these icons. eb- i have learning disibilities that why i have bad grammar, and i am doing my best i can. eb- i think you are outline with the crap above.

It wouldn't be a waste of time for those studying people however.
Most of what I've seen on social sites have been varying types of Rorschach.

I look at who their people put into power and make observation that is how the majority living there think.


And yeah, I'm kinda kicking around a pretty backwards country right now.

No problem. I understood what you were saying. My response was in agreement.
