WHOLE is the word you are looking for. WHOLE FORUM = entire forum
And you are hoping for "MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS" not MAJOR IMPROVE.
Jesus christ, is this how you talk?
Meen isn't a word. But yeah we see what you MEAN.Quote:

English obviously isn't his first language, its pretty good considering. I mean I doubt my mexican or whatever would be at least readable. Maybe if I studied it, sure. The guy should have paid attention in english class, but at least he's willing to learn. No need to shout - he's not going to learn like that. :cool:Quote:

Just keep at it and your grasp of the language will surpass many of our (native) english speakers in no time.
Like, how the fuck does Late, Tak, and Ratson know better english than assholes like Metalczar? What's that guys excuse?
Anyway Geralds, sorry for the disrespect. =)

Reading will teach you the rules of grammar by example, which is how many of us perfected our grammar without going as far as studying the rules of the language.
On that note, you could always actually take an English 101 course. Your English might not even be strong enough to get into a college level course, but you have to start somewhere.
If all else fails, at least use Firefox's spellchecker. That would have prevented a number of dumb mistakes you made, aside from words like "hole" and "whole."
English is the only language this guys speaks, he's not ESL.

here is your first lesson don't write in a big block of text it really turns readers off and if if they spend at least one second looking at the text then I would be really surprised also punctuation is a powerful thing it looks like I'm talking in one long sentence so I should start using commas and periods. aasdl;fjasfjasdlfjalsdjfakl;sdjfaklsjdflkjasdfl;ja sdkfjasdfjasldfal;sdjfalsdjfakljsdfl;ajsdflkjasdfl kj
to sum up, break stuff up to make it look better.
hit enter a couple times.
don't make a brick out of text. Most people really won't spend one second looking at it if it is that way.
One english is all i speek. two i did take english 100 and 101 in collage and guess what i failed them ever time i took so i just couldn't do it. Only way graduated collage was having my mom do my english work for me. I did not ask her to do it i just would have never passed english other wise. I could be esl you never know what ever that is.
I so want to take the bait..... but I WON'T!Quote:

Guys, guys — this is neobuyer. Pay no heed and move on.
EDIT: Joe beat me too it. :(
Seriously though. This has got to be a fake account. No one is so dumb as to misspell 'mean' as 'meen'. I mean, come on...
I don't know. We use to have a girl at one of my jobs who's spelling and grammar was this horrible. I remember her spelling scissors as "Cissers" once when jotting down on the needs list for the office.Quote:

Hell, even comics or magazines would be helpful. Start out by reading on the crapper. That time really adds up. And don't worry if it takes you forever and a day to finish something, either. The going is bound to be slow at first.
P.S. The sentence I quoted? Totally coherent. ;)
Yeah, you can hardly tell IDCHAPPY's Scottish!Quote:

I think the Korean language was standardised back in the 18th or 19th century, and I think we should do the same with English.
With that said, it does have it's quirks and it's extremely flexible - like we don't use accents, but if we like a foreign word and it has one, then we use it ...
... Actually, if we were to adopt accents, I think that would improve things a lot.
Don't know if the thread starter is having a giraffe, but it's pretty silly complaining about the quality or uncorrectablenessability :loco: of a word.
I also tend to spell it "alot" out of habit, even though it is officially wrong.Quote:

Even mild cases of either if not caught when someone is a child to correct can cause life-long problems if not corrected.
I wonder if you are Welsh or Korean.
Which either way would be bad for animals.
