hare_krishna Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 I have to admit that I am poor in English spelling and grammar. That’s why I came to English forums, so I can learn from you guys how you write English. I am from Belgium, we speak Dutch here and a little French too. What I see now on the internet is that people are using bad spelling, not because they can’t spell, but because they like to use incorrect spelling. I would appreciate if people could write in normal English language at their best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingentity Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 One thing that I have learned in dealing with people whose first language is not English is that many of the terms and phrases that we use in our daily speech is actually slang. These terms/phrases are not always understood by people of other languages as they do not necessarily learn slang. We (whose first language is English) do not often realize this and if anyone does not understand something we say - just ask. That is best thing to do rather than have a misunderstanding.

hare_krishna Posted July 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Thanks for your replies. I have learned a new word again: slang. My Englsih to Dutch dictionary describes it as something that is not official English and as languages of thieves. I like these songs very much, thanks for the link. http://www.raganuga.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
