Just a few lines to apologize. I have been checking some of the topics I´ve posted, and I have found many grammatical, sytactic and stylistic errors which shouldn´t have been made. Although English is not my mother language and since I am quite demanding with myself, there´s not excuse at all. Sometimes I don´t check the topics before posting them and write too quickly before thinking. Sorry folks.

RE: ashamed of myself
Forget it Keltic,
As someone said , it’s a matter of good communication.
I try myself to ba as correct as possible , in order to avoid misunderstanding. English is not a that easy language; It looks easy at the very begining , but takes a lot more to be fluent.
I’m not sure that I will be cured someday but I take my medicine every day 🙂

“big up my man kabir, mc rabie in da house”
ok !
seriously my french is crap, my german forgotten and i don’t remember any of my latin.
my englsih is full of typos and i live here, was born here , etc
i am always in awe and admiration of ALL the non englsih speakers for even atempting to post here – let alone dominate the place like they do (eg the beligian mafia)
even more respect needs to go to people like kfadrat who has to use an “alien” keybaord to get latin characters
WELL DONE to all non englsih speakers

RE: ashamed of myself
I just saw the thread. And yes Keltic, they’re all true.
Anyway, the important thing is that we understand each other, isn’t it? (We even understand Rabie. Well not all the time, but hey, he’s from England 😛 )

Relax keltic.
It’s fine. There are some English contributors who have terrible syntax and grammar; you’re probably in the top half.

RE: ashamed of myself
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 20-07-02 AT 01:34 PM (GMT)]I don’t think your spelling,style and punctuation is at all bad Keltic,it puts some of us English members to shame!I have bad spelling,punctuation,ect because i’m writing so quick,though I am sure people understand what i’m saying.
Sometimes I don´t check the topics before posting as well and don’t think before posting some of my replies,so some things I sat may not make sense and be totally off the original topic, but i’m sure people don’t mind because you are still giving interesting and informative posts.

RE: ashamed of myself
Well I wouldn’t say I’m ashamed (after all I’m doing an effort to speak a foreign language), but my ultimate goal is to speak English fluently, but I don’t think this forum is the right place to do so.
However, one who has English as a native language will not try to correct your mistakes.

RE: ashamed of myself
Why be ashamed? You are a forum contributor capable of communicating in another language. Most of those speaking “English” by birth only speak one language and even they make mistakes in their texts. So, who cares as “we” (the contributors who don’t have English as their native language) make some mistakes. So far nobody complained and everybody understood what was ment. Nothing to worry about. Just a personal one, are you from Spain?
