Hahmike,

I am probably one of those people who are guilty of this kind of bad english. I for one never finished high school (oh bad me). Instead of finishing high school I hid from abusive parents. I made sure I was alive.

Instead I focused on making sure I had money to survive. Therefore I learned a trade, went to work, and earned a paycheck. There are many like me out there. Do I wish I learned better english? Of course I do. Am I ashamed at times for my english? Yes I am.

However I am not ashamed that I have been able to provide for myself and my family. I am not ashamed that I have been able to make an honest living and not fall back on what the texts books of many lawyers, social workers, and judges say that I should have fallen into. See I was told many years ago I would live a life of drug abuse and alcholism (because of the trend in my family).

I am proud to say that I don't live that kind of life. I am also proud that I don't have to rip people off to raise my kids. I am however not proud of my english skills. Maybe if I wasn't running away at the age of 14 to survive I might have had better english skills today.

Before you post anymore on other peoples english skills (this is the 5th or 6th I have seen from you) remember there may be something about you that annoy other people. Also it may not always be someones fault for thier english.

There is an old saying: "Don't judge others lest you be judged yourself."

Respectfully Posted,
JFPDude
