My experience is that initially it irpoved , but as the time pressure has mounted and low quality yes /no type discussions draw more attention , my improving trend slowed down .

No I don't think myLot could improve my English. I think my English was pretty good when I joined as it's my 2nd language but I haven't seen many members on here who take the time to write good discussions in a good language. I have noticed that non-English speaking members seem to be worse when it comes to slang and abbreviations on here. Do they think it's cool or is it only a sign that they don't know the correct spelling of the words and use slang to hide it?
