[Phlegmak]

Here are your corrections:

Everybody reading something somewhere of me may improve me here if i make clear (not tiny ones) mistakes!

Grammatically correct wording:
Anyone reading something, somewhere that I wrote may correct me if I make clear mistakes.

Better wording:
Anyone reading any of my posts may offer corrections to me if I make obvious mistakes.

I tried to imitate Borat, just as in the first post. I don't want this thread to become too serious, but i really would like it when people now and then improve my sentences here. I'm always struggling to put my english sentences together, but when people show me how to write it properly i can have a laugh (eg.post # 33)at myself and hopefully learn from it.

(I actually have gotten one poster telling me not to come back at the forum till i could spell properly )

One thing I realized, Asperger, is that I'm correcting your spelling and grammar from the context of this forum only. For example, I used "posts" instead of "setences".

You should have used 'sentences',
unless you are only interested in errors in one of them.

You failed with 'succeeding', where 'following' would have been successful.
Succession would normally be used, for example, in the context of monarchies.
It carries the concept of supplanting, and not merely following.

I disagree. "Succeeding" is ok. Perhaps "successive" would look better. I just looked it up in dictionary.com, and aneeshm used "succeeding" correctly.

A foriegner who writes poorly is fine by me, as long as it's legible. A native English speaker who writes poorly is loathsome.

Thank you Phlegmak, but i would have been thrilled if you had revived my own thread!

Edit: its my own thread !!!@!????

What is it that gets people so mad when I write poorly and I'm a native speaker?
Good god people get over it, not everyone can be prefect.

Old Spice: You are horrible!

What did I do wrong?

 

[angeleyes]

Nothing, except that you're horrible!

I want lessons. You should quote my posts to explain what I wrote wrong and how it should look. I was learning English for 8 years, but I have never been good in languages and our teachers were changed every half-year. Please, be polite to me. I am sure that first quoted post will be this one.

True! This is the first quoted post.

OK, REDY! I'll be happy to help you, hopefully politely. I did a "Find more posts by" search. Here are two:

I had them in London. I dont want see them any more.

I don't want - needs an apostrophe to be grammatically correct.
to see them. - the sentence should use the infinitive, "to see".

--> I don't want to see them.

I am for united Irish island. Yes arguments againist it are strong, but everybody who will look at map, have to admit that NI is strange part of UK. I know that is there religion and some others crappy things, but I still support idea of removing NI. Sry 4 English

I am for a - most nouns need "the" or "a/an" before them
united Irish island. (or Ireland) - phrasing may confuse others.
Yes, - sentence parses better with a comma
the - "the arguments" is a more correct form than nonspecific "arguments": see above re nouns
arguments against - typo: againist --> against
it are strong, but everybody who looks at a - most nouns need "the" or "a/an" before them
map would - auxiliary verb is needed to imply that people who go to look at a map will the do something.
have to admit that NI is a - see above
strange part of the - see above
UK. I know that is there - I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. I know that there is the religion? Their religion?
religion and some other - no s needed on end of "other"
crappy things, but I still support the - see above
idea of removing NI from the United Kingdom - removing it from what? Yes, it's fairly obvious, but it's less likely to confuse people if you explain properly.
Sry 4 English - text language: ideally, use "sorry for my poor English" or something like that.

--> I am for a united Ireland. Yes, the arguments against it are strong, but everybody who looks at a map would have to admit that NI is a strange part of the UK. I know that there is the religion issue and some other things, but I still support the idea of removing NI from the Union.

-----------------

Your English is very good, but not perfect. You tend to forget articles like "the", "a" and "an" before nouns, and the way you use verbs can be a little confusing.

Yeah, first you have to be a student in an English school.
