I believe that our participation in myLot discussions enhance or boost our thinking and writing skills. In order to portray a well develop arguments and thought provoking issues, we need to think,rethink, think and rethink again and express them all into our writings. We choose the best words to express our thoughts, cancel all those which are unnecessary, proofread, check for grammar, structures and etc.
Do you really believe in all these? Do realize that your time spent on myLot has significantly enhanced you as a writer? Your opinion is much appreciated. Cheers!

well, WELCOME to mylot. there is not a small doubt about it. You HAVE hit the bull's eye at the first stroke.. Great.
not only your writing skills, and your quick thinking capacity,... if you spend an hour in mylot daily, you will be having a speed of a court typist. on the keyboard.
much has been discussed here about the change one gets into the plus side of life, after they spend some time here in mylot.
however, there is every likelihood of one getting ADDICTED to mylot. SERIOUSLY.
I coined a word for this... MYLOT O CRAVIA. which is supposedly a contagious disease. You will not log out of mylot, and lose your food, lunch or dinner... and also spend all nights. lols.
Thanks for sharing your view .. and, thanks for friendship.

You're right. At first, I thought about earnings, but as I tried to start a discussion and commmented on to other discussions, I learned to enjoy it and most especially, it really helps enhance your writing skills. It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be perfect here in grammar to be able to write, but at least you can learn how to construct a sentence and express your thoughts well.
Aside from that, you can gain knowledge through participating in discussions. Through that it sharpens our mind as well.

you seemed to have caught the trick of mylot. this is not like anyother social networking forum. you just don't respond to topics here. YOU have to make a discussion, and it is by a continuous pouring out of thoughts, to and fro, left right and center.
and, that way, you will be so busy, about making your point clear, and passing on the information, and interacting with all those who respond to the comments... that you will forget about making money. But, eventually, you will make more than what you could make, with conscious efforts.
Thanks for the sharing of knowledge, and helping me to sharpen my mind too.

Yes, you are definitely right. I for one has to make sure that I have done several proofreadings to check for some grammatical errors, and yet there are times that errors still escaped. But you are correct, this is one way of enhancing our mental capabilities and boost our English writing skills.
Welcome to myLot . . .

You are right. Definitely it enhances our writing skill. Well, I used to write articles before, it's been several years since I did that however, so this is like a come back to me, the starter so to speak. Ideas are floating around in my head, I just need the right time to write them. I lack of encouragement these days,^^

I suppose that is true. For me, the biggest advantage in using MyLot is to learn more about writing sites, specifically tips and tricks. There are a lot of people on here who share their experiences, and I find this information particularly valuable. None of my friends is a writer or interested in writing online, so I depend on this community of friends (and others online) to keep me informed.
We try and help each other out. I have gotten a lot of good advice here on MyLot, and always come back to participate because of it. I am always learning something new here.

Yes this website has made me a better writer and well way faster at typing which is pretty cool as for my thinking skills not really I have had to do a lot more research than other websites but that is about it on the thinking part. But the Typing and writing skills are better than they where before going to this website.

I believe that exposure on this kind of discussion in mylot will enhance or boost thinking and writing skills. Why? Maybe it is because you're always read - skim in other sense. By reading someone else's comments, you will be inclined to know how they think and organize their thoughts. Will that help you? Yes it will and I firmly believe that if one wants to master something, all he/she has to do is practice. If people really participate in discussions, they are already practicing their thinking or writing skills. Sometimes it could also be helpful if one wants to master correct spelling and enhance vocabulary.^^
I'm just a new user here but even in other sites as well, if you participate in their discussions, it could still be helpful for your writing and thinking skills.

Much of what I learned in Mylot. I always try to respond to discussions, and to respond to the discussion sometimes I need to think hard. Now I am trying to be critical of any issues, so I can respond to all discussions, the group created by a member of Mylot.

I do agree with you. I can improve my English here especially in written. I can express my thought better in English now even though it's still hard for me since I am not proficiency in English. I have limited vocabulary and my grammar is mesh. Overall, I think my English is better now rather than 4 months ago.

It is amazing how much one learns through the discussions here at mylot. Even those of us who already know everything (like me! heehee) can learn a lot from discussion participation. I also love the friends I have made here who share interests with me and enjoy joking back and forth. I thoroughly enjoy it here and expect this to become a daily tradition for many years to come.

Well, it's my third day today and I can already thank myself lol for finding out about MyLot and all MyLotters' inputs for widening my knowledge about anything under the sun.
I do agree it enhances our thinking and writing skills! I'm now more aware of constructng sentences, and checking grammar. Even if I commit typo errors sometimes, it doesn't stop me from learning more and more every day.

Good luck =)

Hi gunsirit,
I do think that mylot enhances thinking and writing skills. It does for me anyway. I can't tell you how many times that I've been in a discussion when I've called out on a statement I've given or disagreed with someone but not sure if I was right in that. I've just felt compelled to do some research on the topic to gain new knowledge, insight. I've been put in positions where I've had to step back and re-read my statements and re-word or retract. It is without a doubt a brain-exercise for any member that is really involved here.

writing at mylot really helps and i do believe that. reading discussions and responding to them will take time but its ok as we improve our writing and also earn money for the same. i always try to spend a little time about an hour atleast or just write a few discussions daily sometimes it is possible and sometimes not.

....Hi there gunsirit, Welcome to the ranch. I think you are right. Being a part of the mylot group helps in a lot of ways. Improves your spelling, makes you an editor. Improves your grammar and allows you to read so many other points of view and consider the scope of their logic. Very smart people here who have very good ideas. So in reading their writings you are able to better formulate your own thoughts and write them down in an understandable format.
Even the discussion are a way to learn, as you decide how to write a discussion question. It all works together to help one in being a better writer and reader. Take care. Good discussion.

At this early stage of joining mylot, I would agree to you. Mylot is a good place to hone your quick thinking and writing skills as well. Topic can be anything under the sun. It is upto you to expound. I intend to be active member of this site and is also looking forward to spend more time on this site during my free time. I also believe that what you post reflects your personality so it is always a good practice to check grammar prior to posting. Happy mylotting!
