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.
And no, she wasn't an immigrant. English was her first and only language. Although you could argue she didn't really have one at all. What was worse was the fact she was a high school graduate.

WHOOSH
I will certainly give you credit. The desire to improve is more than what most people got.
Whoever told you to read had the right idea. I'm sure it seems boring at first, but even if you go with nonsense like Harry Potter or something, it can really improve your English skills a lot if you stick with it. 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.

Let's face it though chaps, the English language is a joke.
There is absolutely no logic to it, a complete lack of consistency, it's a mess.
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
of a word.

I also tend to spell it "alot" out of habit, even though it is officially wrong.
How you ever been checked for any problems like dysgraphia or dyslexia ?
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.
