i did not accuse a guppan of bad english(which by the way was not u but heh if u wanna join the bandwagon b my guest). i was pointing out that its was being made an issue 4 no good reason. ppl who know a language really well will still undrstnd tht lnug in shrt 4rms(i ilearnt that in linguistics class by the way with like a dozen studies done on it so dunt evn try argue on that 1).. but the guppette complaint was more bout how abbrvn wrtng sounds(unsophisticated or wtvr she said) nd less bout comprehension. i responded that i dont care what it sounds like since i dont have 2 prove anything 2 any1, especially not on GS forum..the point is does the reader understand?
YES, they do and can tell that they do by the way in which they respond 2 my posts.
mayb u have a hard time cause ur english was weak 2 begin with.. u r landed immigrant, no? i thought so..so dont even try 2 argue with me bout english accuracy buddy. i know how 'accurate' landed immigrants english is when they come here fresh off the boat.
Take it easy. Even though you are saying that you don't have to prove anything, you go an extra mile to write such a long post in your defence. And I have to admit, I see an improvement in your english in every next post you write. Gradual but there is some. Hang out with us more and you will be a pro before you know it. My immigration status has nothing to with my writing skills. I knew how to spell "From" when I was in KG. By the way, 4rom and From have same number of letters and it doesn't save you time like you claim.
