How Articulate you are?

hi kamran.am not.I see a lot of posts here well written with an average and sometimes with simple themes.Really i love to read them.Some of mylotters are here who always write beautifully and get good responses to their simple themes.I wonder some of the discussions with great idea getting few responses while simple and descriptive discussion getting hundreds of responses.Well coming back i think am poor in starting discussion and expressing my ideas descriptively.Still i fighting to do that.Actually when i join here i was posting 2-3 liners after some practise improve to write 7-10 liner discussions.Let us see how this practice help me to write more descriptively and same time beautifully.I think you are good in responding and sometimes in starting discussions.Well i wanna inspired by other mylottesr who are good at.smiles

I always think I express myself better and more persuasive in writing than in speech. I don't know if you can call that articulate, but when I write something I can get my ideas across better and I take my time in composing it just so people get exactly what I mean. If not, then I feel that I failed. Most of the time, what I write comes from the heart, or curiosity, sometimes it's only fun and daily activities, sometimes it's spiritual. I write better in responses than starting my own topics.

Learning a new language is hard enough, but to learn English is one of the hardest languages to learn. And writing it is the hardest. There are so many rules opf spelling that just don't make sense.English is my first language and I am still trying to learn it.Am I articulate? I hope so.The hardest thing to do is describe what you have seen in written form.I hope I do a good job, but I don't know.A great ides poorly expressed may be discarded because no one will understand it.An average theme beautifully written may get more attention but it may be brushed aside too because it is average. So I guess I wouldn't respond to either.

I don't think that i am articulate though i do wish that i am most of the time. It takes quite some time for me to express my thoughts so that it is clear for the other readers to understand. I do prefer great ideas no matter how poorly it was written. The fact that i can see it as a good idea is good enough for me. However, something that is beautifully written is definitely a pleasure to read. You might want to go through my posts to see if i am good enough to be a writer *LOL* you'll be surprised with what you read. Cheers! - Lyn

I agree with you. There are a lot of posts here that are really well written. I can't say I am among those who have very good writing skills here though. I watched a movie this morning and I realised how people can be very articulate when they speak too. There are some world leaders who have this gift of being extremely articulate and persuasive. It could be a gift or it could be they learnt it.

Yeah your right. In some instances, we choose to read some posts that are very well expressed or written. But, in my point of view, it is not important on how beautifully it was written, as long as the person had expressed his/her ideas with all his/her heart. Not all people here in myLot are very fluent in terms of speech delivery, but I always admire people who tried their best just for them to express their own notions or opinions. Good day!

Neither. I would still go for good ideas or content that is well written. To settle for anything less is mediocrity. I may not be THAT articulate but I do express myself as best as I could considering that English is not my native tongue.

I think I am passingly articulate when I want to. Then again, writing requires some passion. It is hard to write well unless you are in the right frame of mind and are willing to put in the effort for it.

A wonderful topic! I am not articulate but I want to be. I joined a couple of writing sites on the net through the years to try and improve my writing abilities! I am always amazed to read a good well written post and think why can't I write like that.

For me, idea matters. There are posts not well expressed but can be understood and are more appealing. Some are well written yet I do not appreciate it when the idea is not very good or something that I find interesting. Thanks for accepting my request as your friend. God bless!

Needless to say I am somewhat articulate. I learned how to speak, read, and write a few languages in the past, but I'm considered to be informative. It depends on how the person's tone represents a great idea expression, as well as the theme beautifully written.

I am actually not a huge fan of writting. I do it if I have to, and lately not because I want to. I think I am quite the articulate one when it comes to speaking, but with writting, I find myself to be very lazy. Not lazy to the point where I replace complete words with letters like "R" instead of "are" or "U" instead of "you", but just the bare minimum, do you know what I mean??

I'm not that good in responding and putting my post. In fact, I think you are far better than I am. But I do believe that there's always room for improvement and one of the best avenue is here.

hello kamran ! Initially i used to think this too,that how articulate i am ? But now as i have started interacting with different people,i feel that a beautifully written thought can attarct you initially but in the end the good thought may be written in simple or may be poor way wins:) I belive in thoughts rather the way they are written:) this is an art you know :) u can try to learn it,but some people know how to play with words and for that kamran i will simply appreciate you. You are born with good thoughts and as well good presentation of them as well :) and what else a person need to win people's hearts :) This really matters a lot,good presentation of an average thing can make it a really good one but in the end it varies with person to person . I usually go with the material rather than how its packed :P And i am very bad with writing skills :) usually i have a lot of things in my mind but when i start writing,it seems a a primary clas student has written in a casual way :) My writing dont seem to be of a mature one . Although my writings carry length,once i start writing the ideas just flow in my mind until someone calls me up and broke the chain :) but the way i write must be improved :)

For me learning a language is not that easy. I can understand, but when it comes to speaking even though I can get the accent right, I do not know how to say it. Much of learning how to write posts comes from practice and making sure that you avoid the badly written ones. It is the idea that counts, not how it is written, but== and I say but. If you want your ideas to be read, practice your writing skills, because even though it might be relevant, you are wasting your time if nobody understands you.
