Can I post something that has nothing to do with your discussion, writers?

I am disucssing the writing style with someone right now. So, this reminds me of you guys! To begin with, I am a big fan of your writing syle, as you can imagine! So, let me ask you a quesion! What's you name? What's your first name? Where are you from? Where are you going? How many people are there in your house? How many units of cropland per person has? How many cattles in the cropland? Ok, you don't have to answer it! Just kidding! I'm wrong, I'm really wrong, I'm wrong from the beginning. I shouldn't asked you a question here, if I didn't ask, you would never know my English was so awful. If you don't know my English sucks, I'll never in this shame place now. Let me ask you a real question, which may make a little bit sense! Is there any chance that I can write as well as you some day? Any advie? You'd better not tell me to read as much as I can! Guess how many masterpieces I have read all these years? A TALE OF TWO CITIES, DAVID COPPERFIELD, GREAT EXPECTATIONS, GULLIVER'S TRAVELS,JANE EYRE, MEMOIRS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES,OLIVER TWIST are all in my mind! Plus, I have already read The old man and the sea for five times. So, any suggestion? Good luck, guys!

Hiddenwing, I don't see anything wrong with your writing style. Your English is not perfect, but I don't know one word of Chinese, so that makes our relationship rather lopsided. You have a distinct advantage over me. FYI - Use your dictionary. I see only one misspelled word. This is an excellent record. However, there is another place where I believe you used the wrong word. Did you mean to write "shame place", or did you mean "same place"? Again, I say that you write very well for someone for whom English is a second or third language. I have met more than a few native born Americans who cannot do as well.

I wanted so say that I was in an awkward or perplexing situation. So, I said "I would never be in a shame place"! Apparently, the sentence that I made was far from native! I don't really have any desire to practice more than 10000 times but since the world works in marathon terms I can handle a half. Don't worry! I won't become bookworm anyway! haha I get up early in the morning. So, my day is longer than some others! I have lots of time to enjoy everything! Plus, I have enough time to sleep too! Best wishes! I like your writing style very much!

I'm sorry that I misunderstood your statement. Shame is a word that too many Americans do not know. I frequently feel shame for them.

However, I heard some Americans have said "shame on you" to someone! haha If Americans wanna express "Shame on so many levels. ", they would probably say "humiliating on so many levels." I guess! Best wishes.
