Grammatical Errors
« on: February 10, 2005, 09:11:57 pm »
Well I know that this thread is weak, but I will ask you anyways.

Could you possibly correct any grammatical and in matter of typing right,

It may seem ridiculus to you, but well I think that it would really help me with my english (Well for I am a 14 year old austrian who has english as a must-to-learn thingy)

See it as call for assistance.

Hello good sir,

I guess I can type in proper english, if it helps you. Since I am American I should have no problem. I just hope my little contribution will help.

Have a good day. :)

What do you mean? Correct the errors that you make or what? Does it include spelling also? I read your first post really fast because that color hurts my eyes. X(

By the way, I can help with stuff if you want me to. If you wanted us to correct mistakes that you make in posts are something then, *ridiculous. ;) And for not being a native speaker, you speak (or at least type it) very well.

You\'re inviting grammar nazis to dinner?
I think I\'ll join in on this.
Most people will be happy to help someone learn english.

If this is just you wanting help with your English then I will be glad to help; otherwise complaining about other peoples? spelling and grammar is a good way to start a fight.



(Note: A before consonants and an before vowels)

You have unleashed me :D ... My first correction: capitalize your \"I\"\'s. I know most people online don\'t do it (including me on occasion :) ), but it is proper English.

\"Spelled\" is more commonly used than \"spelt\" is. I think it is preffered by most English Teachers/Professors/Majors. \"Spelt\" is kind of like a slang term for \"spelled\" - what you should use in a formal letter.

And \"need\" should be \"needed\" because it is a past participle. (I think that is the term for it. If it isn\'t then correct me please. I just know it has to be \"needed\" and not \"need\") and \"need\" is not a past participle.

EDIT: I never knew \") made a winking smiley. Also, before you say it doesn\'t, it is because I disabled smileys for this post so hah!

*Scrolls up.*

Wow, I wonder if Sirvion expected all those answers when he wrote this. Anyway... to the business at hand...

I am as much a grammar and spelling freak as anyone here, but I prefer to get straight to the heart of the matter.
