its a tough language to master for the newcomers if they have never had any exposure to it in grade school.

What I find interesting how well people speak, write, and spell in the English language, when it's a possible 2nd, 3rd, or 4th language.

It's such a challenging language.

I am constantly being told by people on the internet that my English needs a lot of work.

well I just don't care. I don't think anybody has ever had any trouble understanding me.

I know it is not perfect but it just doesn't matter to me that much.

some fool was lecturing me about it at another site.

as if I was going to stay at that miserable site. I only went there to try to recruit some people for Camelot.

That's awesome and weird.

I wonder how the English language became so convoluted. We are lucky to be able to communicate at all.
