It sucks! Haha. My writing skills sucks now! I haven't been active on mylot for a very long time. I just came back here. And as I respond to discussions I just post immediately without proofreading it. Lol. I guess I'm too lazy to proofread now. And I noticed that there were a lot of mistakes like spelling mistakes or even word mistakes.
There's this discussion wherein I was supposed to write the word "life" but then I put in "like". I just reread my response and it was embarrassing and funny. Hehe. My writing skills deteriorated and I think it's just normal for I haven't write for a very long time.
I hope I'll improve my writing skills again as I keep myself busy and active again here in mylot. So I hope for your kind consideration and understanding if I make a mistake again upon responding at your discussions. Hehe. I'm sorry all. Happy mylotting to me again as to everyone!

Your writing skill isn't too bad.I think you are good.You just have to watch your grammar a little.Write in second paragraph,last sentence should be written.But by participating here in mylot you can improve your grammar again so my advice is never stop mylotting.I admit my grammar isn't good also.lol.

Oh my goodness! I Can't believe I committed a mistake again. I did reviewed it before posting it. Haha. That's embarrassing. Thank you so much for pointing it out. But I'm not so sure if the word should be "written" or "wrote" I think "wrote" fits right in there. What do you think? Please educate me. Hehehe.
Thanks for the compliment though. I really appreciate it.

Yeah I'll agree with you now I think. Hehe. It's just that yesterday it didn't sounded right for my ears. I was thinking wrote would fit well. But now "written" sounded so fit and good. Lol. But for the betterment of I think it should end like this "have written in a very long time" instead of "have written for a very long time". Well I don't really know which is better. Hehe. Again thank you. :)

I know it should be ''written''.I forgot how to call it,but I think ''have written'' is called past participle.

Hey dude! Nice to see again. I thought you were gone too! Hehe. But what happened to your post number? Isn't it supposed to be more that just 159? Well I guess you're not active too like me. I hope we can both be active again and do some business partnerships again in the future just like we did before. Heheh. Happy mylotting my friend.

Judging by that post, I don't think that your writing skills are all that bad at all to be honest with you. The best thing that you can do in order to improve is simply to carry on practicing your writing and you will find in time that you become better and other people will enjoy reading your work a lot more than they are doing at the moment. I also think that reading other people's work is a good way to see which writing is the best, so that you can try to copy their style in order to improve your own writing.

Hey Gemmar! Thanks for the compliment. Well I may not have committed mistakes here on my recent discussion for I really took some time proofreading it. Hehe. I committed mistakes of my responses to other mylotters discussions and it was embarrassing.
Thank you for your wonderful advice. Sure I'll take time to study and read other people's writing works for I planned to blog again. I need some good writing ideas. See you around Gemmar. Nice to have you here.

Everyone could do mistakes by writing. You need only to check your comments before to submit them and fix the mistake if there is any. With a little bit of practice you can avoid future mispelling.

Yes I really need to check or proofread Rick. Actually I don't really have much errors on spelling for mylot has a spelling checker. Everytime you commit a spelling mistake the word will be marked as red. What I'm really dumb of are those missed wordings. Hehe. Thanks for dropping by Rick. Enjoy mylot!

Hey there Shadow
English isn't my first language and being in Canada where there are two main languages doesn't help either. So speilling errors are huge for me. Also being so close to the US doesn't help because there is US english and Candian english so you can just imagine!
Here is Canada you can spell colour or color, center or cenre, it can get pretty goofy sometimes. The English language is difficult at it's best.
I try to proof read but sometimes your eye sees the mistake but the brain fixes it as you said life and like... the brain fills in the correct word for you.
Also I think faster than I type... which my case is a good thing LOL
Take Care
Read you soon!

Hey fyre! Nice to have you here. How is it there in Canada? Weeds are legal there right? Hehe. I may have more errors than my spelling and jumbled words without knowing it since we're not really native speakers of English. But that I couldn't care more as I give emphasis on mistakes that are clear to me. :)
I might also be a fast thinker than a fast encoder but I think the main reason why I'm committing such error is carelessness. Thanks for dropping by. See you around.

Hey Friend.. Welcome back.
Well you are still good. You were inactive may be because of that you are feeling little lazy here. Just try to be active here in few discussions and I am sure you will be addicted to mylot again. Best of luck.
Hope you will be active like before.

Hey man,
Yeah I think I was lazy and uninspired to post here at mylot and became dormant for many months. Many factors are there for my inactivity. I am not motivated to post anymore. But now I'm slowly gaining my swagger back. Enjoying posting again and with the help of you my friends here in mylot I might get back right on track and avoid stupid spelling and grammar mistakes. Hehe. Thanks for dropping by my friend.
