Well... let me think... :)
It depends a lot on the question and the topic. I think when answering especially in the way I put words, so as I am not misunderstood and not maybe because I will get a negative rating. Some questions are more delicate than others and need more thinking. Others are less demanding, but there is still a part of my brain that stops my fingers from typing and thinks before writing!

For example in the comment I just wrote I forgot a comma and without it, the text can be misleading

Sometimes yes sometimes no. there was also a time that i response to the topic very straight to the point and sometimes i need to think before i answer to them. I also do have a response which i dont review my wordings until i already submitted it in wrong grammar.

Hi there!
I do think a lot first before making a response. I don't just give my answer but i try write well too.
I also don't make short responses neither so I try to think hard so I could get to share my views more about the topic. Besides, it's worth the effort for me cause it helps me to improve my English too.
Ciao!

Hi,iskayz. Nice to meet you here. My goal is the same with you. I come here to improve my english too. I have learnt English for many years. But my progress is poor. I wonder how to make a reasonable improvement. This question always confuse me.
I'm quite frustrated. When i read english books, i always tend to interprete the sentences with chinese words or terms. Sometimes I feel quite depressed that I can't master English during my whole life. What's your suggestions?

Hi peacewherever
! I suggest just try to keep on reading and writing. Participating in discussions do helps a lot cause you get to interact with other members too. You get to share your views more often if you participate. Just think of it as if you're just talking to someone.
I also suggest use the English dictionary so you'll understand the meaning of words. I am a Filipino and I use the Online dictionary with Tagalog-English, English-Tagalog translation. In that way, if I don't know how to say it English, I can search for the right words to use by just typing it in Filipino word. It's very helpful really.

I don’t think a lot when I post a response. I just say what I want to say . and it come from my heart. Whether right or wrong. I have posted a lot of post. And most of them I think are not right. but I still post the response for discussion. When you posted a wrong response, no one will rebuke you. So you just post the response what you have thought. That the best response if the response is your true thought from your heart.

I think a lot when I want to be sure that my answer will cause others to think.

usually I dont think of my answers to much. I feel like if I think to much abought a question then I am just trying to "get along" I may have crappy spelling, but people can usually tell what I am trying to say. If I just answer I seem to tell it exzactly like I feel it. But if i sit and think abought it I begin to try and get along, and not rock the boat. There have been times I thought abought things to much, then went back and read what i wrote and I tend to have sounded like a *butt* ; )

No friend i never think long or p[lan myself for the response or answer. I just start replying to the best of my knowledge and experience. Yes some times it happens to me and my replying may go wrong but its a life and it happens with every one. I believe if i start toom uch before replying than i will not be able to give reply to most of disscussions and questions.

it all depends on what is the question. if the discussion is all about what is your views and persperctive then i just response according to what i know and feel. if it is about a certain problem then i will analyze first and say what i think. if it is a discussion that i have no idea then i will just skip it. i see a lot of myloter responding in a discussion even they dont know and play around and joke. that is not funny for me.

If I cannot think of what I consider a correct answer, I just do not answer that post. I don't have time to answer every one, anyway.

I notice that people react differently when they answer. There are the rapid response people like myself that speak before they think sometimes and that can get me and others like myself into trouble. But I notice that I tend to get very impatient with my boyfriend when he takes too long to answer anything and he always tells me he's thinking about it first. I've had to adjust to this over time.

I don't think lot about answer because when I go to open that answer first I read subject, If it is intrested to me then I give answer so I don't have to think lot about that and I never give Or not given any wrong answer till now.
If I don't know I won't post.

I dont believe that are are WRONG answers. I want to get my true feelings out and across so I just say what comes to my head from my heart. People learn from experience from themselves and from other people. Give your honest opinion on these questions. They dont want you to think about it and try to think what other people would say. they want to know the honest opinion or truth to the answer.

Well, I'm pretty confident whenever I speak so I just blurt out what I want to say usually.. However if the situation is one where important decisions depend on what I say, I do give it a moment's thought before speaking up. Now that I've gotten used to it. So I guess I don't really think a lot before replying, 'cause I don't have to :O
Unless it's a puzzle or something, in which case it does take me quite some time to gather up some answers depending on the difficulty level ;p
*has typed this entire thing without thinking*:O!!
There's my response! :P

As for me,I don't think a lot before answer a question. I tend to answer immidately or sometimes with a little contemplation. Thinking too much is difficult for me and quickly make me feel tired. Most often, I first reply the questions, then i would amend the answers to be more perfect. that's it

If you are talking about mylot I tend to go with the flow in my head. For me my thoughts come quick and I cannot type as fast as I think. I guess it might depend on the question too. There are so questions I might think out a little bit but most of the time I go with my gut and my heart and than I start to say what I would if the person was sitting right next to me. I hope this helps and happy mylotting to you as well.

It depends on the question. Some of them don't require a lot of thinking to respond, then again, there are some that I ponder quite a while before I come up with an answer. I prefer being sure about my answers but there will always be times where we will get some of them wrong. If we didn't, we would be perfect - and we all know that it is not the case. Cheers!
