I think your spelling and grammar are excellent. I would have never known english is not your native language. My spelling and grammar are not that great but I try to be understandable.
I have issues with all the slang and shortcuts people use, only because I don't know what they stand for. I know what LOL means but that's about it. I guess I should take the time to find out.:rolleyes:

Yes slangs and shortcuts are very hard to understand. I commit several mistakes writing but it seem so far that my English is understandable.
I always understand your posts . Your English is excellent too . We are humans so is normal to us to commit mistakes from time to time .:smile::smile::wink::wink:

In my experience, people who acquire English as a second language generally learn how to write and speak it better (through formal classroom instruction) than those who are native speakers (who have picked up the language from lazy and complacent speakers of the language). As I read this post, and as I recall from reading some of your others, the fact that you are not a native speaker of English didn't really occur to me. I think you communicate very well.

Hasta luego.
Thanks man . Gracias amigo. Sabes Espanol ? Donde lo aprendiste?

Some members on the site seems (no s) to be policemen on grammar and spelling of (the) English language . My question is : How is my grammar and spelling ? My posts are understandable ?(while this is correct, most would ask "Are my posts understandable?") Keep in mind that English isn't my first language . So don't be cruel to me .:smile::smile::smile::wink:

It is good, and better than some of the people who grew up in the U.S.

When we spoke before, I mentioned that I speak Spanish too. When I have a thought it is in English, so my Spanish spelling, grammar and translation is not too good.

HungDavid do you think in Spanish? I know it seems like an odd question to people who are not Bilingual.

David,
Yes, you are always easy to understand and you always have something interesting to say. You are not afraid to debate difficult topics, and you make your points very well.

As NIC said, you make small mistakes here and there, but the meaning is always clear. In my estimation, your contributions are valuable to the forum and a pleasure to read.

Don't worry about it, David... Usually when we get all uppity about grammar here, there are other issues going on... it's all for fun, right?

I am way more interested in you posting pics here, than you having perfect English!

That's not a odd question at all . I always think in Spanish .For that reason sometimes is harder to me to write exactly what I'm thinking and express it in a more accurate way.

English policemen are renown for standing unarmed on street corners with their hands clasped behind their backs while bending at the knees to facilitate a bobbing motion at the same time as reciting, ‘Evening all.’ Is that what you're saying some members here do? I must confess I've never really noticed! Must be that old familiarity thing. :biggrin1:
