Re correction

More and more members have found the "correction tag" very useful and tried to use it.

If other members see the tag, they will try to help correct you or your writing. Sometimes they will just point out the mistakes and encourage you to correct them yourself. They will try to do it openly or publicly, which some members may think is a bit embarrassing. So, make sure you really want others to correct you in public when you use the correction tag - they will try to correct you, even though you're an advanced learner. And, other members who can see the corrections may benefit from the corrections, too. 

Keep in mind that most of the members who will help correct you may not be native English speakers, much less native English teachers.  They may just be some advanced members who are trying to help you, which means the corrections by such members might be incorrect - just for your referrence. You could ask Alan, the mod of EC's "Grammar Help" , or a native English teacher like Tara for help if you are not so sure about the corrections by another member. English can be so tricky that sometimes there's a mistake in each one of the sentences you made.

In fact, everybody makes mistakes. You don't need to be so nervous about making mistakes (grammatical, spelling, or typing) when you're writing. We learn from mistakes, though. As MyEC's blog mod, I really want or invite you to correct me whenever you find an error or a mistake in my blog post. 

Keep and enjoy your writing!

    You're not alone in feeling that. Yes, it's so desirable to learn English in an English speaking country. You should try to speak it as often as possible - no shortcuts to learning English.

  • Thank you for your notes,bro
  • Dufourmentel Christian@

    Thank you for your notes .I read it carefully .I would like to ask you… Does your correction belong to my comment or to my blogs generally ? because I see irrelevancy between my comment and your correction .

    Please feel free to correct my bogs or comments .

  • Sorry you feel that way

    I asked you that to figure out the context in which your views.

    Have I thought  you'd be upset so much, I'd refrained for sure. 

    'humiliating' 'polite' This does not make sens between learners.

    Granted you're humiliated, OK

    how are you going to move forward? By reading and writing mistakes repeatedly?

    I got better because I strive to read e-books, friends natives (e-mails), even comics.

    Also, I watch on my prefered TV channels. (proper English).

    ... there is no secret.

    sincere apology, I sould have taken things cautiously.

    it will never happen again.

    It was for your very self, you know.

    no way Luzzy doing so! I lost my enthusiasm. what a waste! 

    happy practicing.

  • Christian, I am little bit shocked after reading your comments. I personally agree with Tara, such corrections are helpful but the way you correct people should be more polite. To mention..how can you write something like this, or why past tense.. it is humilitating and not all are as advanced as you are, just remember it, please. Now.. you can correct this paragraph and make me feel I am some stupid beginner :D
  • not only wish I not humiliate but I'd would say 'go on and don't care humiliation'.

    you and I are on 'EC' to improve our English knowledge. 

    know that  I'm trying to help you out then thank helpers and me by sparkling progress.

    Well done as you'll be the winners. Push on fellow members. it's worth it.

    about prepositions, for you to train.

    I hear of your learning English _ what for?

    which language do you feel comfortabe with?

    yesterday, my friend and I went to Peter's for a coffee.

    It's important for you to be corrected by expector.

    Hello, anyone about? 

    What kind of hobbies are you interested in?

    in the midst of rush I was lost.

    admid applause for your courage I'll leave.

    I hope I've been of some help. I love playing with English words, do you?

    Well done expector.

    Thanks so much for the corrections. Yes, we should do it in a right way whenever we try to make corrections for other members. Bear in mind that our goal is help others learn more by correcting them, not to humiliate anybody. 

  • @Expector Thanks so much for posting this reminder! I appreciate all of the help with corrections!
