I'll diagram this out without much comment. Just going to assume you aren't trolling. My corrections will be in brackets.

This is the thread [I'm - always capitalize the personal pronoun I.

My [English - capitalize proper nouns, including language names] sucks[. - period here, you started a new thought after this] [The - capitalized] [whole - hole like a pit, whole like the entire thing] forum knows about [it - pronoun substitution for your subject carried over from the previous sentence] and [I'm] constantly flamed for it.

I'm = I am

hole forum? This is not a forum of holes, it's a forum of ASSholes.
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?

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:

Oh if he's ESL I take back every last bit of snark I said in this thread.


Geralds: when a member shows you a spelling mistake, go back and fix your post. You'll learn that much more quicker from doing it. :)
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. =)

In all seriousness: Fucking read. I don't mean browse the internet and read forums full of illiterates. Read published novels written in the English language. No one here will be able to help you much unless they're adept in the lingo of grammar (such as the difference between past participles, perfect participles, and present participles). 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."

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;jasdkfjasdfjasldfal;sdjfalsdjfakljsdfl;ajsdflkjasdflkj

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.
