I bet nobody is really happy to be corrected, even though they know it's helpful in improving their English.
Sure, I'm no exception - it can be so frustrating when I know somebody has corrected me. I've been learning English since I was little, and I'm the blog moderator of MyEC, a well-known English learning and teaching website. Can you imagine how frustrated or disappointed I was when I knew I was still making mistakes?
"No, no - I'm supposed to speak fluent English and my English writing should be flawless/perfect. How could I..."
"Hey, hey, wait up, Expector! Calm down!"
Yes, you get it - what I'm trying to say is that we should keep in mind making mistakes is part of learning, no matter how fluent your English may be. Even native English speakers can't avoid making mistakes, let alone a non-native learner.
English is harder to learn than you thought - a tricky language, indeed. Maybe you need to learn it at the very beginning of your life - even better if you can learn it in an English speaking country!
So, admit you're not perfect, and welcome corrections if you really want to improve your English. You should know it doesn't mean there aren't any mistakes if nobody corrects you!And, you're still an advanced learner even though somebody else corrected you.
You're welcome to correct Expector (me) - be you an advanced learner or native English speaker/teacher!

Thanks to Afro, ELF!
We should try to help correct each other - your English improves, too, when you're trying to help correct others.
What a great post!Really, it is frustrating when I find I did a lot of mistakes. But, I have to admit, I can't learn without making those mistakes and along with it,I should remember them.Sometimes I wish, if I could study in abroad!And,I found without practicing with a native speaker and being corrected by them, learning English is not that easy. Anyway what is it said about a thing or a blog which just has arrived/ done in a proper time?
