I promise to try my best, A. Please don't be upset. I am so sorry to practice on you, but I speak Russian with my Russian friends and I don't write much in English. My letters are in Russian too.
I don't know how I have so much audacity to write to native speaking people. I think I was driven to it by my loneliness and confusion about what happening.
I know that I am not to everybody's liking. So I will try to write less.
Thank you for your help anyway. Sorry again. I will shape up the best possible way. Sorry.

YOu people are poor lot. Your language is too popular. Everybody is trying to speak it. There are so many accent like stars in the sky. There are native accents, foreign accents. Because your economy is good everybody comes here. And what is even worse they even try to write in your language. That is really upssetting.
I understand you 100%.
The long suffering English speaking people have to descipher everything a poor foreigner is trying to say will break anybody's patience.
From now on the rule are:
1. If you don't know how to spell it, don't use the word.
2. If you are upset don't use the board
3. Check your speller and consult English speaking people before posting on the board (that may include students because they are very good at English.
4. What are other rules
Sorry I upset so many of you, but I really did not mean it.

Sorry I upset so many of you, but I really did not mean it.
Your English is sometimes really good t-p. You just need to pay more attention to your articles and declensions. OK? Best, Baz |

I don`t believe that t-p actually upset anyone today, but there was maybe some misunderstanding of a post that wasn`t actually directed at t-p, but at A in humour. Crossed wires. Let`s not have a Grumpy Old Rant Room where doors are slammed.
t-p, no one is getting at you and, as you can see, you are very popular here.
A, please don`t go!
Where`s that flamin` peace-dove emoticon when you want it?

Thank you Martin.
But A is right. My English is very bad. Should I write to some one first to prove read it and then post it?
Would it be better?

t-p, no. You should ignore all this and carry on posting as normal. I'm going to get John and Michael to COMMAND you to do this! Your English is getting better and better, more vocabulary, better grammar, more extended writing. Sometimes people find your mistakes funny, but you could say that about any of us! Carry Om, Member t-p. At once.  |

Dear me, talk about rattling a cage. Someone criticise t-p? Heaven forbid.
Don't worry all you men, I shall put on sackcloth and ashes and disappear into the land of reality.

Well that's it.... I have said the wrong thing about everyone's hero.. no humour left here, so what is the point of being on the mbs in that case?
Never mind, I'll just get a life. Farewell.
