Poor spelling, malapropisms and other language related issues (particularly those related to syntax or sentence construction) are more than excusable, particularly when dealing with English as a second language. The simple truth of it is the only reason English makes sense to most of us is because we were raised with it -- it is monstrously convoluted.

We have here a member who joined recently, and who does a good job of communicating in English despite it being a secondary language. This is a good example of how to communicate in a language that you're not strong in -- seek clarification, try to be as direct as possible and do your best to make sure your communication reflects your actual meaning as much as possible.

The above mess, on the other hand, if rife with slang and holds almost no punctuation (as well as not a single paragraph break). I refuse to try to wade through that crap because someone couldn't take the time to at least try and make their communication clear and easy to read.

And with that aside, I'm not convinced that this is a case of someone who doesn't speak English clearly. Rather, I suspect it's an indictment of the education system of whichever nation BLacKSuGGa happens to hail from.

Call me what you will. This thread is a waste of time.

you could have done it just with the last line
