Required ONLY honest responses, ONLY honest; Rate my English out of 10. 1-3) bad 4-6) normal 7-9) good 10) great Honestly, if I threw in commas in the worst places, then I'd be a bad English speaker. Unfortunately, because of the incorrect semi-colon, I'm going with 6. |

Good grammar and spelling is essential to good posts. Here, I shall explain Let me show you two posts in the EW4 section. Here's the first: And he isnt an economic mastet only expert but he has dpy dough And the second: No one beats Jackson as THE worst emblem guy. Suchet smashes forts, and Blucher has Formation. You will notice that the 1st post hasn't much effort put into it, and is hardly readable. The 2nd post, however, has great English, no typos, and shows effort. Ironically, the 1st post has more information, but the information is not conveyed due to the typos and lack of punctuation. This is why you should put effort into making your posts readable, using good grammar and spelling. Problem is though: 1. Thick fingers 2. Modest dislecticy in primary (dutch) and even more in sec language (english) 3. so sorry but for me it will be engrish 4evah! |

Today, I went to school and I was late. Then I went to my 4 classes for the day; I ate lunch at my school too. After school, I went home on my bus, and after that I went on this forum and found this article! Go figure! For real, a 9 because you put a semicolon, instead of a period. But he used the semi-colon incorrectly. A semi-colon is sort of a mediator between other parts of a sentence; it is like a comma as well as end. Usually a semi-colon separates a sentence into two very similar clauses. Example: Johnny ate the cake, and it was very delicious. Johnny ate the cake; it was very delicious. This is exactly was explained in my English class which was not today. |

I'm glad Jean-Luc Picard has raised this issue. I have been struggling to read some posts that are barely legible. I think this is kinda the place to say it but I think everyone should put capitals in threat titles. It looks much less meat when it's not capitalised and it's especially bad on pinned/more offical type threads (eg Hosting TW's looks better than hosting tw's). Ah yes, Should I get General Yamamoto?  Additionally, people should be sure to distinguish between Generals, Admirals and Air Mashalls as the three are neither interchangeable nor synonymous with a general as numerous people and Easytech seem to believe. I am under the impression that this is what your post has been poking fun at?  |
