Not if I don't mentally explode!

Seriously though, I'm trying my best and will continue, because I will mentally explode if I see bad grammar, spelling, punctuation, or capitalization.

Sorry. It’s sometimes really hard to have proper grammar when you’re using your second language.

Remove a from the middle of that sentence and you'll be fine.

I'm sorry too. I understand that grammar and syntax don't always make sense, especially when the rules are so different from your own language. English is a REALLY hard language.

Wait, English is HARD?! I mean, it’s really easy, just look, your nouns don’t change at all for example. Here we have 7 different forms and they are changing really randomly.

What's the plural of moose? What about sheep? Goose? Ox? Box?

My point exactly.

Here is my point.

Condensation!! It was close enough cut Emi some slack 

I think it's amazing that people even want to learn English and do their best to speak and write it well. It's ridiculously hard and confusing and impressive people even want to learn. 

And I confuzzle... if Brain explodes when seeing grammar mistakes then how do you have the Brian left over to correct???

WHAAA?? Really?? I always hear people saying how hard it is to learn idk I was just basing it off that. Maybe not the hardest but some of the rules are just like bruh why you gotta do this to me

Or, you know, the three there's: Their, There, and They're, all sounding the same. The three Yours: Your, You're, and Yore, all sounding the same. 

Or why though is pronounced 'Tho' while rough- ending in the same 3 letters- is pronounced 'ruff'

No, if I leave them and see them again, then my brain(not brian) is annoyed at me. It's like OCD, I have to fix it, so I can't exactly cut Emi some slack. All I can do is say sorry.

I mean the only two easier things in Polish than in English is that:

1. Reading is easy

2. you have only 3 tenses

[Condensation she/her]

Yes, it said Polish-detected.

The Avengers is far more famous

And I haven't watch it

 

 

*seen or watched, not watch.

Look, I gave up trying to learn grammar in July, there's just too many rules. Now I just type whatever felt right.

 

Also, in Chinese we have only one tense, and we only learn a few (two that I can remember) small grammar rules here.

My dad served his LDS mission in Taiwan and then lived there for a few years afterwards.

One time he and his sister were staying at either a super fancy restaurant or very prestigious university campus (I don't remember which and I don't know why they were there) but every time they walked through the lobby the workers would but up a screen in front of them so that the rich people who stayed there wouldn't see the poor white foreigners.

Ohhh like "you had left by then." You had done it before that point in time that you were referring to. Interesting, interesting much grammar.

lol me when talking about something new in a different language: "Well... it seems about right so let's hope so "

That's actually interesting to hear about too! I've heard (although who knows how reliably or if I was even listening close enough lol) that Chinese is more complicated because of all the different ways you have to emphasize the words. Do you think so too or am I making stuff up over here??

If you want, I'll correct you. Well, I suppose even if you don't want me to I'll correct you.

I agree. That was 2 unnecessary words, and completely defeats the occasional purpose of using bad grammar: to save time.

I'm not even going to correct your grammar, just your punctuation and capitalization.
