I try to read any discussion on mylot. Some of them I give my responses. I found that mylotters enrich my english. Sometimes I am not confident to discuss anythig in english because my english is limited. I do not know whether admin of mylot consider about my english in getting money. Hi, mylotter, do you support me?

I admire those who do not have Emglish as their first language but they come here and join in the discussions! 
Your English is fine and, as others have said, it will improve here the longer you stay. There are even some Lotters whoonly speak English but not always is it as good as that of those who do not use it every day.
Press on and do not let this hinder you. You are doing fine and we will all support anyone who is trying their hardest!

I think your English is good enough to read and understand the myLot discussion guidelines this would answer your question. I am very sure that myLot admin does not have any software in place correcting your English therefore your good or bad English does not have any influence at all on your earnings or as you say "getting money".
"The guidelines for Discussions state:
Don't•Post discussions, responses or comments criticizing members for bad/broken English or bad spelling. Everyone is welcome at myLot, we have users from all around the world and they are welcome regardless of their proficiency with the English Language.

Of course we support you. It's nice to see people learn and improve their English skills because of beiing a member with mylot. I hope you are still active as this discussion is 5 months old, as I think your English is pretty good and can only get even better as time goes on.
What I have learned with mylot is my typing skills have improved tremendiously. And my spelling and my grammer are slowly getting there too. Keep up the good work and if you do come across someone that is negative towards your English just ignore them.

Hello there! There are many mylotters here who do not know english very well but are still here because they want to learn so I appreciate and support them. I wanted to learn chinese and I even got some friends here who are teaching me this language, It is difficult but with their help I know I can succeed.

Hi pormadi,
There are a lot of members here like you and I am one of those. But who care? As long as others understand what we are trying to say then I is okey for me. The most important thing here is the message. If we can give a right message then I don't think others will be bother about our poor English.
If you read the guidelines, myLot stated that we can not criticizing members for the bad English - spelling and grammar. So, it is totally acceptable here if our English is not perfect.
As you said, you came here to learn and enrich your vocabulary. And that is a good intention. This is where we can practice our writing skill and we can also learn a new words or slang (even though this might not help you much to your perfect English
).
So, to answer your question, I will support you in this.

Sometimes slang is more perfect than perfect English!

Perfect for those who used to use it but not for those who just want to learn it.
What is "Binthu/Binthued" anywhere? I saw it used a few time in other discussion but can't understand what it means. I try to find it in the dictionary but not avail.

This is what gets my goat. According to the terms of service, trying to help those whose native language isn't English by charitably correcting spelling and grammar mistakes is a giant no-no. Why? Why? Why? Why can't we explain the proper functions of nouns and verbs? We're not making fun of people who aren't native speakers, we're trying to HELP THEM! They're here to improve their English, let us HELP THEM!
I'm pretty sure that this post is going to be deleted, but I need to get this off of my chest. The grammar geek in me cringes almost every time I see mistakes, and the first thing I want to do is correct the person in a nice way, but I can't--I have to bite my tongue, and I really don't know why. And yes, before anyone reminds me, I know I should not be here on MyLot if I don't like the TOS. I can abide by all of them, but the term where we as native English speakers can't help non-native English speakers is stupid, it's ridiculous, and it needs to go away.
I've said my piece, and if I get kicked off of this site because I've said my piece, I honestly don't care. I'm so fed up right now.

Your English is very good. In fact it is better than many of the members here whose only language is English. Many of them are terrible spellers and are too lazy to spell check. Many of them are not familiar with correct grammar as well. I feel terrible when I see this because I have a lot of admiration for people struggling to learn English and usingf this forum to learn. Well done and keep up the very good work.

Hey don't worry about how your English is. Post to any discussion you want. Even if you make a few mistakes, most people will be able to figure out what you're trying to say. And no, mylot doesn't care how your English is. They realize that their members are from all over the world. Just the fact that you're trying is great and your English seems fine to me. There are many people whose first language is English who write a lot worse than you. I think that it is great that mylot is helping to enrich your English. Keep on posting!

Hi pormadi: Don't worry too much about your English. Keep posting and it will improve even without your knowing it. By the way, your English is not that bad. I am not a native English speaker and in my country English is only the 2nd language. I did all my studies in my native language but since I read a lot and watch the news etc. I suppose my English is not too bad. You have to be at it and you'll be ok pretty soon. Good luck

Actually, it's great that you can use myLot as a tool to enhance your language skills! Sometimes I wish there were other languages to that we could see how to communicate in other places. I took 4 years of Spanish in school, but I know that actually communicating with people in Spain would be much harder.
Keep up the good work and I hope you learn a lot!

Yes I do support you and it seems like you are pretty good at speaking or typing english because your discussion is put together pretty well. I don't think that the mylot admin will have any problem if you mess up or anything like that. Just keep on being active here and you will probably get better with you're english.

Yup! of course. All people here is very supportive. Were here to share and learn. English language is a constant thing to learn about. If you constantly connected in here in trying to embolden your skills to speak English you can make it here.
As far as I know people here in mylot is mix with different nationalities and different languages but need to know that people here also has different knowledge, skills and educations...
