Correct me! (in Off-topic)

If you ever find that I make a mistake in anything I write here, I'd really appreciate, if you got a second or two, that you help me by correcting said mistakes :)

Almost NONE around me here in RL speaks proper English (or even reads it) , so it's kinda hard for me to practice, you see?

My English is probably more than understandable at the moment, but there is certainly room for a bit of improvement!

So, yeah, any tiny bit of help is welcome :)

Well that last paragraph is better English than 75% of the American population uses, including the President. Message clear though, we're all going Bast on you.

Which is the exactly my goal!

no need for the "the" there :P

Note: That WAS an intentional mistake :)

i guessed just thought id throw one back :p

Oh, and last thing, please make use of my CM and PM box rather than the threads I write in ;)

I am sure there are plenty of people who will be more then happy to point out any imperfections in your grammar, context, and spelling.

All the while making themselves look and feel superior to yourself with your pedestrian use of the elegant English language.

Have no fear, we will correct you, and all the while make you feel like crap for even trying to communicate with others.

Here, here!

Oops...

*waits for it*

you are lucky, with my experiences on Carnage Blender there are a bunch of people that will do this for you without you even having to ask. =P

Ash, your English seems quite lovely! Certainly you've managed to accurately distinguish between "then" and "than", so kudos to you.

If you want an example of a correction, informally:

Almost no one around me in real life speaks proper English (or even reads it), so it's kind of hard for me to practice, you see?

My English is probably more-than-understandable at the moment, but there is certainly room for a bit of improvement!

So, yeah, any tiny bit of help is welcome. :)

Did Bast just say "yeah" ?

Ash, your English is excellent, I would never have known that there was any problem on your part with the language!! You certainly write in English better than most of the English speakers here! Better than my French would be anyway!

(My dad's first language is French. When he speaks to me in French I have to answer in English. Because he doesn't understand what I'm trying to say in French - it is that bad!)

Yah dude, like... youre engrish ish awesomness in da Xtreme.


;)

But, seriously, you always typed quite well (by extension I'd assume you also speak rather well) so don't sweat it too much. But I'll be there for you hehehe =D

Correcting that exactly one letter wrong in every sentence ;)

And as a note, the first sentence was so bad I just failed to get past the spell-check. I'm ashamed. That's the first time I've had to go back and make corrections in... quite awhile.

I know I don't write like a complete idiot :P

But sometimes I get lost in the middle of a sentence and the rest of it makes no sense at all. This is what I'd like to avoid, because I will be using my English a lot in the coming months, at work, and I want it to be perfect! (Which will certainly net me some Internship points, handy when you try to get a job later.)

You'll be my best friend in chat and forums if you type correctly. I love perfection. Bast can vouch for me.

Am I your best friend in chat and forums then, SNK4R? :)

I assumed that you both spoke English fluently and conversed in English simply from watching you type. Most people simply don't try to speak with perfect grammar and spelling, myself included (excluding the spelling. I hate mis-spelling words).

Just goes to show that your current grasp on the English language is likely more than acceptable to most. ~_^

I realise a may have had a skewed view of my own abilities. Thanks for the friendly comments, I do appreciate them A LOT.

Realize*

Don't talk like the British, they'll intoxicate your brain with terrible spellings like colour. They also think that tea is actually a meal that one can eat.

Ah, I was certain ''realise'' was spelt wrong, but thanks to you, I can spell it both ways, and blame it on the British if I get it wrong ;)

"Almost NONE around me here in RL speaks proper English"

Where's "here"?

yeah, I think that should've been "no one" instead of "none". You're English is fine, by the way.

and since when isn't should've a word?

It's an improper contraction, just like must've.

CB's spell checker says it isn't wrong, but Firefox does. But okay.

NS: ''Here'' refers to the province of Quebec, in Canada.

I live near Montréal, it's biggest metropolis.

Let's concentrate on the "you're". :P

Oops, I forgot that certain characters don't show properly.

''Montreal''*
