What you're asking me for here is a language lesson, I'm afraid that if I pass someone on the streets who has pissed themselves and I say "whoa you've pissed your pants" that doesn't mean I'm going to bring over a change of pants and try to figure out where it all went wrong. Could offer you a tip, like I said in my first paragraph reply to you, don't beat around the bush because in your second language it doesn't work "I give strong misgivings about its misguided huge adjustment up back in April (what was the reason about that, I have pointed out why, due to a misapprehension but also by the constant suffocating pressure of a specific member, that member where did he based his claimings? Nowhere, groundless assumptions, at least assumptions in order to be made need a base/evidence)! And you had praise that member for that..." "I think the April adjustment was a mistake (Mikerox says I'm wrong, I'd like to see why he thinks that) Mikerox doesn't rock" Just picture English as a sword you haven't quite perfected, don't swing it about fancily! just stab your points out directly and it might make slightly more sense.
- I'll expect the tuition fee or a "thank you" in the mail, if that isn't coming don't ask for another lesson, because emailing and messaging people on the internet "Do this for me!" with nothing in return is entitled mania, and I can't stand that. |
No, of course I' m not... The problem for me would be many complaints not a minority of complaints. One thread, post or anything doesn't characterize the english skills of someone in whole.
You know that there are non native-english people, but you must also know that a native english speaker, isn't always perfect, for instance my native language is greek, I speak better greek in great extend than most compatriots of mine. I don't mock them, not even in an underhand manner or playing the teacher!
I just asked for what is imcomprehensible, grammar errors e.t.c in order to correct them.
"I give strong misgivings about its misguided huge adjustment up back in April (what was the reason about that? I have pointed out why, due to a misapprehension but also by the constant suffocating pressure of a specific member, that member where did he based his claimings? Nowhere, groundless assumptions, at least assumptions in order to be made need a base/evidence)! And you had praise that member for that..." You tip me this to be like the line underneath, ergo that is a mistake/hard to understand? Maybe is inconherent, but it is so difficult to grasp it?
You want me to take that as a meaningful advice? I asked if I used any word wrongly, or used bad grammar/expression. Because always, linguistic tips are extremely welcome for me, and I constantly seek for them...
If you really can't understand what I'm saying in this, I must be an idiot/have really terrible english skills, eh?
I can't fathom why is that wrong, well you demand when I talk about something to mention directly or not avoid the core-subject and to look head on the issue, but is there any english rule that prohibits to speak circuitously? No, so when I feel that is needed (like preventing the developement of a polemic climate), I will keep speak in a roundabout way... It's a techique in Greek philosophy/language, yeah we're talking about english here but there is noenglish linguistic norm that forbids that.
"I think the April adjustment was a mistake (Mikerox says I'm wrong, I'd like to see why he thinks that) Mikerox doesn't rock" That's too plain/deficient, I have to put the full picture/story...
I'll expect the tuition fee or a "thank you" in the mail, if that isn't coming don't ask for another lesson, because emailing and messaging people on the internet "Do this for me!" with nothing in return is entitled mania, and I can't stand that.
I hope that you don't say that with seriousness. Are you a teacher? Do You feel that I should appreciate so much this advice,( I'm not telling that I'm not) in order to even ''pay'' you or send you a thank-you mail ? An advice that I don't find the reason for it? You declare yourself to be an english teacher?
Having english as your mother tongue doesn't mean that you can be an english teacher or you're a perfect english speaker! As I said, I'm speaking better greek and in great extend than most compatriots of mine, that doesn't make me a teacher, special studies would make me a teacher. (Ι admit that I'm giving advices, but without teaching style/poise...)
Consequently, the reason of your ''sermon'' towards me, is about me, not being direct/speaking squarely? And that's related to english skills? i thought that grammar/vocabulary/expression mistakes define the english skills of someone..
Imagine if you would be mean what would you say, do you want me, to post again, to not break your head with my ''horrendous'' english skills...
