well, bartek is bartek

i am not talking about the "me iz" style ok. i am talking about errors that show me you wrote the article and then sent it, without even reading it over.

well at least topic could be spelled correctly

ItÂ´s not that easy to write everything right when its not your own language....It might be so easy for you ciph but english is the language you speak.....try to write a essay in good swedish without any misspellings...

ciph · Post by **ciph** » 13 Nov 2002, 22:25

I can imagine it would be very hard, but....

did you read it over Jonas?
Look, I liked both articles ok. But reading over would be nice.

and BarTek:
screames their trouths
no treath to others
Theirfor
hypocrism - used numerous times...
ambrella

I just can't see that you checked over your work before publishing it for everyone to see.

Jonas · Post by **Jonas** » 14 Nov 2002, 07:32

DonÂ´t you know that when you read trough your own text itÂ´s not that easy to see the misspellings because you know what it should be and therefore you donÂ´t see them all....I found one misstake where I wrote "min" instead of mind.....DonÂ´t you think i know that mind is spelled with a d????....I just didnÂ´t see the misstake before....
BarTek let him say what he wants to say....little critic is good, makes things better the next time....So Ciph keep on telling the misstakes but understand that it isnÂ´t so easy to write a perfect text....

Noticing self-made mistakes really is hard. that's often my problem in math exams. i've miscalculated a simple thing but don't notice it even when checking for errors. but! errors in writing are really easily checked with e.g microsoft Word. even if writing into .txt u could just copypaste the text to Word and check for ne red underline..

1: use a dictionary if you are uncertain on how to spell a word ... we can all make typoes

2: I only read KOM interveiws, so i don't really care if you spell wrong or right in articles

startup batching article finished @ dzsite.

Rigger · Post by **Rigger** » 25 Nov 2002, 10:13

if you have probs with a word, then either find a dictionary or try to find another word to explain what you're trying to say.
we can all make typoes, but every 3rd word doesn't have to be misspelled just someone finds it fun to write e as 3 and stuff like that ... it's only annoying

personally i don't really care, coz i only read KOM interviews

Right. Proves my point.

People could calm down with these grammar things, I don't want to give bans.

Sun · Post by **Sun** » 26 Nov 2002, 00:07

I thought you wanted help with them!

Seriously, I think some of your English is VERY good considering its a second (or third!) language. Its puts us one-languagers to shame

Post by **Abula** » 26 Nov 2002, 02:17

Sun: You misunderstood.

There is a topic for informing about Moposite grammar mistakes (and I really appreciate people who have energy to find the mistakes). The problem is that some people are doing this "teaching" almost in every topic which is just frustrating (I know this topic is about the mistakes in BarTek's article). Someone could create own new topic for these.

Thus if you understand the point of the post (on Mopolauta) be happy. If you don't please send a PM to the poster asking him to edit the post that you and everybody else will understand it. Mopolauta cannot be a place for teaching the English language, web is full of those guides.

I hope no one has anything to add here that we can stop this off-topic.

Sun: Actually English is more than just a second-language here in Scandinavia, one could almost say it's a one-and-a-half language

Anyway, sorry for offtopic Abula

Post by **Abula** » 26 Nov 2002, 17:16

Actually for finnish people Swedish is the second language, sort of.

sort of? haven't u spent over 6 years learning it?.. i don't think it's "sort of" but rather annoyingly too much a second language. [i'm for changing swedish to not-a-must in graduation test (or whatever they're called in english...)]
