Just wanted to try the poll option... nevermind.

I know that I never participate in the forum but I want you to know that I read your threads almost everyday since I registered here, two years ago.
My english is very bad, and that's part of the reason why I don't like to write at all.

Even if I never talk to anyone of you, I feel like I know you a little from your words.

Thank you for being my company for 760ish days. Happy 2016!!!


I have a little gift for you:

Jesus Christ who I don't believe!!! I just wrote a wall of text, something I don't usually do, and as soon as I hit submit...the wall disappeared and I was left with nothing. Cool.

TL;DR was that you should participate on the forum more which would be a good practice for your English learning and that your post doesn't seem to be from someone who's English are very bad. People here aren't grammar nazis. we forgiv n we forgit.

Also I was questioning the fact that people have to apologize for not being good at English, like English is an etiquette and when you are bad at it people take it as an insult so you have to apologize.

My wall of text was better...arghh

Papa bless.

Oh, I'm sorry about your lost wall of text... :'(

Well, i'm thinking about your question... maybe part my problem is that I am, in fact, a grammar nazi myself (not proud of it, just something I can't control :P) And I feel completly helpless and vulnerable when I try to express myself even in my... how do you call it? first language? mother tongue?... anyway, putting more than two words together and make sense is a difficult thing for me.

Thank you for your kind words, though.

Anyway... I'm going to add you to my wink wink list, I think I need more people in there.

Bless you :P

Never apologise for your language skills :) Though I get the reason you described above for why you feel vulnerable trying to express yourself. I have such a hard time thinking of the right words even in my first language a lot of the time and it can be frustrating.
But anyone who makes fun of someone's second language skills is a dick.

Reading, writing and communicating in English online will help you feel more secure in your use of it :)

LiS look wonderful - activated the episode 1 from HB, but won't play until I can get the whole story. Considering my other games, I can wait in peace :)

Regarding your English - it's way better than " bad". If you really wrote this and haven't used a translation software/site, you're actually quite good - practice it and get better, the forums are usually friendly enough to support you in that! (If anyone corrects you for the sake of correction, that's good, listen to them. But if they use it to pick on you, to harass, ignore them.)

Thank you, Adam. I definitely need some practice... Maybe it can be my new year's resolution since I don't have one just yet.

About LiS, I played the first episode in june but i left it there because I didn't want to wait for the other episodes to be released one by one... I just picked it up again two weeks ago and played non stop 'til the end. It is just beautiful. One of a kind experience.

Bump ^^
English isn't my first language either and I remember when I first registered on foreign forum, I had huge problems to write anything. I did understand pretty much everything others wrote, but I had this feeling, that I can't write well and since I'm very articulate in my native language, I knew I wouldn't like to be taken for a fool just because I made some mistakes. But I overcome this and started writing there and it was great :). Your English seems very good! Don't be afraid to write ^^. There are some people who will point out your mistakes and that's not a bad thing, there are few that will be... erm... assholes about it, but the majority of people will support you ^^ Worry not!

So... give it a try, right? Ok, here I go:
You just have described pretty much exactly how I feel about the whole thing. I blame my perfectionist tendency which, in this particular case, is nothing but a deep fear to be perceived as a fool. The actual problem is that the only person who has made fun of me because of my mistakes is me. I guess I have to learn to ignore myself, is difficult, though.

Thank you for make me write a little more :D

Your welcome <3 ^^. I fully understand you in that regard - I still have moment when I want to write something and then find myself with this one crucial word missing, word that I should know, but I can't remember or just can't write properly and that makes me feel frustrated ^^". It's really silly when I think about it. It's just something that you have to get used to, I think :). But your English is really good!
