When you rate....

Same to me. We can make our English better while reading and posting here in My Lot.

so, more practice english by writing and reading make our english is more better. thats the key for everyone which english is not their mother tongue

That's right More practice = better English. And that's the way how we can make our language good.

Thank you for your opinion. I am glad that you accept things this way.

On this count I can say 'never for sure I speak and write in English and Italian and would go to forums in those languages but no others - never ever!

Not others? Are you sure? Don't you think it's a great idea to go on some Japanese forums?

Hi MysDiana Thank you and I am happy to read that! You are saying that you would not go and try and participate in a forum that was not in one of your languages you use, but never say 'never' dear...

Hi Cream. Nice to read that you think like that. Quality and content is much important than some spelling mistakes and it's good that you don't care if someone is making mistakes while posting.

well.. if you really wanna look good , you would have to chose your friends carefully since you run a high chance of getting rated by them than other mylotters.. so if they are the kind that wouldn't forgive silly mistakes then you'd have some hard time getting your perks up.. enjoy mylotting..

Yes, I know. But I really hope that my friends will get mad because of my spelling mistakes and will rate me negative. Good new is that everyone who responded to my discussion is saying that the spelling mistakes are not important.

I didn't understand your last sentence, guess why! And yeah - if someone hate to read discussions or answers with misspellings better to take a book... But here at My Lot we are all over the world... Indians,Bulgarian, Spanish etc ... and a lot of us don't know English good, but we wanna be a part of My Lot.

go away misterwit... don't make me more confused as i'm already confused and was already confuse and those confusing words i used make everybody confused sorry kompi,ok let me rephrase, "everyone should try to use English properly and don't intentionally shorten words like those of text messaging" and for the spelling mistakes, there are always free online dictionaries they can try to use

Did you ever use a online translator? It's ok when you need a word to translate, but when you want to forming sentences ... the fun starts here. Often the translator give me another word and not that word that I need.

Well I am trying to write understandable post so people can understand what I am talking about.

Well, guys ... for me is enough that what I have read here, in this discussion. It seems that people don't care when they are reading posts with some spelling and grammatical mistakes and they care only what we are trying to say and they prefer to understand the meaning of the sentences.

I agree and disagree. I agree when you say that spelling mistakes are made by everybody, even by those whose mother tongue is English and I disagree when you say that you are not well conversant in English. Offensive language contents should be deleted by the moderators asap. Only negative rating won't help. We must feel a responsibility here to help each other, show to each other and share with each other the right path of living, and of course we make lots of friends this way. Earning, as far as I think, is not considered the sole purpose of myLot, by most of us. Take care... God bless you...

You are doing well and I am sure you will keep improving. Thanks for the best response.

I have nothing to say after this comment. Cloud, believe me - a comments like this reinforce my desire to learn. Thank you.

That sounds good. Don't you think that sometimes native English can help other people /who are not native English/ to learn something? Sometimes I am confused when I want to say something, but I don't know the right words to say it. I use online translator to help to translate some of the words, but the big fun is when I am not sure that word who translator gives to me is really right word. And sometimes you wanna say something but you may say another word which means can be different

I try to help but in the guidelines here it states something along the lines of do not tell people about spelling errors well thats not what it said but thats how I interpretted it! The English language is so hard there are so many words which have different meanings! I do wish I could help people a bit more but I dont want to break the guidelines or sound like a know-it-all

I understand... Now I see why I have never seen on My Lot people to talk about spelling mistakes.

Good! I think that even if for you is hard to understand what is trying to say somebody - you must be good to him/her.

Getbiswa I think Jensie is talking about 'negative ratings' I think Jensie means that never give negative rates just because someone is making spelling or grammatical mistakes. That is what I think.

Dear Jensie, I think you should rate them, even if you don't think your english is not very good. These are friendly discussions, mere sharing of feelings and ideas. This is not some grammar or spelling contest. If you get the point a person is trying to make and if you like his comment, then why shouldn't you rate??? You should also consider leaving some responses of your own. I don't overrate you when I say that your english is more than just fine. Its lucid and you have a straight forward way of expressing yourself. What else do you think you need? Go ahead start rating now. But please don't give me any negative ratings for all that I've said... :) take care... God bless you..

Thank you, Bigbaps

Look... it's not about only spelling mistakes. Sometime we make another mistakes... I am not sure how you call them on English - I think it's 'grammatical' . I just try to explain that when I am not sure if I must use 'walk' , 'walking' or 'walked' an online translator just can't help me...

Exactly, hhmfw0! Same to me. I still make some grammar mistakes and that is why I am afraid that this can irritating another My Lot members, whose are with good English knowledge.

Yeah, I don't like too much words on topics too. I prefer less words, but easy to understand and read.

Thank you, Rose Kiss. ?ood luck to you too and thank you for being good with newbies.

Well I think that everyone who is writing here will try to write understandable sentences.It's good that you are appreciate effort in answering.

Well ... I think sometimes wild debate is better than bored discussion... But just like you say no one is perfect.

That is nice! I think in that way too. When somebody is trying to do the best that he/she can he must be 'awarded' no matter if he/she make some spelling mistakes.

As a matter of fact - for those people who didn't know English well is hardly to write here. Thank you for being good to us.
