should i be ashamed if someone would tell me here that my grammar is bad? :)

I'm not ashamed if my grammar is wrong co's it happens to me most time. It's not that I can't construct a right grammar or sentence, it's just my mind is quick to think than my fingers to type. Then if I did a lot of writings I don't edit my work co's in my mind I know I did it right. It would take me two to three days to finally read my post and then just realized that I can't even understand I have written about. lol!

It is left to you whether to feel bad or not. But as per guidelines no one is supposed to comment or criticise on anyone's language here. You can report that user.

First of all, the 'rules' here specifically forbid us to criticise anyone's grammar or use of English (unless, of course, the person is asking for help with grammar). If anyone does so, the correct thing to do is to report that response or comment so that Admin can remove it. Nobody should be made to feel embarrassed or ashamed of their imperfections. As long as what you write is clear and comprehensible, you should not be criticised or laughed at unkindly for it, especially anywhere in MyLot. What one feels privately about one's use of English is, of course, a different matter. Most of us are aware of our shortcomings and feel the need to improve. One of the best ways of doing this is to invite and accept constructive criticism. It is quite normal and natural to criticise oneself but anyone here who tries to make you feel small or inadequate by saying that your English is poor (especially if their own is not perfect) should definitely be dealt with according to the rules of the site. If I had been able to find the response you are referring to, I would have reported it without any compunction!

even the native english speakers may not always have their grammar 100% correct all the time. nobody is perfect. much more so for us with english as a second language, and not our mother tongue. in all the years i've been here in mylot, not many will bother a mylotter about a perfect grammatically-correct post. for as long as it's in understandable english. what i like in here is that it can serve as a platform for us to learn and improve our english if we want to. and nothing to be ashamed of if our grammar is far from good or perfect. so don't be bothered nor be embarrassed. cheers!

Hey missjahn, I dont know you personally but by just reading your words I can sense you are a person of confidence and knows well yourself, you arent sound ashamed, that person didnt succeed to make you feel inferior and for that four thumbs up for you (X 4 ). Good grammar is nothing if you dont know how to present your words with sense and humility.

Hi, I know how you felt, you may felt a bit ashamed or embarrassed but just laugh it off. No one is perfect here in mylot. All of us made mistakes grammatically or whatever. There are those members who said that we should not be ashamed of whatever mistakes that we had committed here in mylot.

I wouldn't be ashamed if someone told me that my grammar was bad and I don't think that you should be ashamed either. It is true, we all come from different sides of the world and we all talk differently and of course some people's grammar won't be as good as others, but who cares. Like you said, as long as you are following along with the guidelines here on mylot, it shouldn't matter how bad your grammar is and I think also just as long as people can understand you then there shouldn't be any type of problem.

He said that?? Oh, my. How can he tell that yours or anyone else is poorer when his grammar is poor? I don't get it. There's nothing to be ashamed of, because, like you said, everybody is welcome here. Not everybody here is perfect in english. And mylot is a good site to practice our grammar.

I found your grammar's knowledge is not so weak.Even the complexional sentence is being used with proficiency by you.Don't heed to others who are really not encouraging you.And you know what,in a platform like myLOT user need to express themselves not their grammatical skill :D :D

Instead if someone tells you that your English is incorrect or has grammatical errors you should tell that person to help you improve your English. This will certainly be helpful for you and if the person say he doesn't have time, then tell him not to comment on your English and that you will learn it your way. Mylot welcomes people from all the corners of the globe. So don't be ashamed and enjoy your stay here.

I know what I am doing in mylot. And I know I don't have good grammar. But I don't care, I just want to share anything I like here. As long as mylot staff give me permission to do that I will do my best. Not every one have good grammar and I will learn here to improve my grammar skil

hei ... my grammar is poor too =,="

Just take it as a challenge and don't stop it from expressing yourself in English. It's a good way to improve yourself. I myself is not fluent in English but i tried my very best to improve it everyday. I am just a bit lazy. But since English is the primary language from where I currently live, I have no choice but to live with it :) Keep doin it! Cheers!

hi We all know that nobody is perfect! :) sometimes even the most popular person create a wrong grammar, as long as do not commit a sin, don't be sad. :)

Hi, Not sure why this is in the Interest "My Parents" but hey...whatever. I hope you are not ashamed or embarrassed. You write better English than a lot of people here. Besides, all are welcome here and no-one has the right to criticize anyone else for their second language skills. Most of us speak only one language and some of us don't even manage that very well.

No of course not! your English is good and I Am sure every one can understand it! I learnt English as an adult and I'm sure my grammar is not that good but I try my best...keep on posting!

I think it should not be ashamed but a kind of challenge for us to do more and improve our grammar. If we are always thinking about that matter nothing will be happen into us. We cannot improve and develop our self if such thing be the reason for us to be shamed. If you let those people trembling you in their unjust criticism. Be yourself and learn more about the thing that makes you be the master on it.

Maybe the mylotter is joking my friend. But even if she's not, just don't mind her remark. Don't make her feel happy by being ashamed or depressed with what she has remarked. She is just trying to test your spirit my friend.

i shouldn't worry about it, i am a native english speaker and sometimes i post comments with terrible grammar. with the greatest of respect to mylot, which is a very find website, it is only a mylot comment, though it is good to make corrections if you spot some obvious mistakes, before posting. but a lot of comments are done quickly, so there are bound to be mistakes. there is no need for perfection here.

Not bad just one person only told, your grammar is bad. but in my case more person told me your grammar is rubbish, i am not worried about that because english is not my mother tongue, so take it ease its just a language only not most important one in the world. As you told all mylot welcomes all.
