| Just stop it. I don't know if it makes you feel better about yourselves to tell someone who isn't too familiar with English that their English sucks or what, but it's just mean. I don't care if you know one language and I don't care if you know 10. It's not that easy learning English and the punctuation is VERY hard when learning English. Anyway, you guys are really big pricks and very cruel. I feel like anyone who isn't PERFECT with English isn't welcomed here because they'll only be teased and called names. What the hell? You're pricks. If making fun of people helps your self-esteem, find something else that doesn't hurt someone else's feelings. Take this into account: You're going to Japan. You've been learning Japanese for 4 years and studying hard. Your teacher tells you that it's PERFECT and you're ecstatic. You get to Japan and use your amazing speaking skills and EVERY JAPANESE PERSON LAUGHS AND MAKES FUN OF YOU. You tell me how that would feel. This game deals with all kinds of people. The world isn't made up of 100% English speakers and neither is this game. Yes, this is referring to the "jealous people" thread. But it's not limited to that. |

Why cant there be peace? -.-;lawl.treehugger. " Write Japanese or Chinese or Korean or whatever may be difficult to do, but to speak it is really easy ;D Shogun helped me a bit to understand basic stuff with Japanese language. It is based on some simple stuff. Exemple: The numbers, if you can count up to 10, you can count up to 99. |

| If English is your first language, you should know it pretty well by the time you're thirteen. People who are sixteen and don't type out their words, spell properly, use the right "they're/their/there," "it's/its," "your/you're," correct use of punctuation (especially apostrophes) should be focusing more on their English. It's your first language. If you can't speak it fluently, you're screwed. |

| 4 years of learning, and you get to use your language and find out it's not perfect after all So what ? Sorry for breaking your little illusion ? I'd rather have people correcting my grammar so I can improve and not make the same mistake again, than people not telling me, and make a fool of myself for the rest of my life |

| I only make fun of people about their English IF they're trying to make fun of me by calling me stupid, and yet they fail to follow basic grammar principles. The irony. |

This thread isn't about correcting grammar, it's about attacking someones grammar. |

| Attacks in general will happen all the time. It's not JUST limited to grammar, which is NOT the norm for attack basis. It's normally their level, race, and stuff like that, where there are stereotypes. |
