Oh that is really troubling as many are trying to be. I must admit I am not I may be nitty gritty on my spelling and grammar but I would never admit I create perfect sentences in Mylot for example. For me for as long as you understand the context of my message that is fine.

Me too, I never proud of myself when it comes to explaining myself and sometimes most of them misunderstood me. We aim to be better not too perfect.

@JustBhem I just follow what Mylot is expected of us. We are not required to be in perfect English for as long as you can speak in pure English and no foreign words without a translation.

@JustBhem She does drive me crazy sometimes especially if I have makeup on and she wants to "fix" it.

@JustBhem It is important to be precise and perfectionist in your work, at home you can be more relaxed.
