Je me suis déplacé juste ici si je ne peux pas parler ou peux écrire l'anglais très bien.

Use a translator if you really want to know what I wrote please because this is really all I can write.

I most deffantly agree. It may slip sometimes for me.. but mainly I try and use proper grammer and spelling! Even though I am still 15.. It's always good to sound professional.

Excuse me but I think you should be the one using the translator for convenience. I would never move to Russia expecting everyone I run into to learn English for ME.

Therefore it is unacceptable for you to expect the same.

Other than that, welcome! I hope your move was pleasant.

And don't forget that not everyone on this board lives in America. Some of the expressions and spellings that many people use are typically American. (That's not a criticism, just an observation.)

I live in Australia, and we have our own vernacular, much of which is apparently incomprehensible to many non-Australians (much to our delight).

For example, an ass in Australia is either a donkey, or a foolish person, as in 'you silly ass'. The word we use for posterior is arse. To my mind 'arse' has far more impact than 'ass'. eg: If you tell someone to 'Shove it up your arse', there is no mistaking the meaning, but if you tell them to 'Shove it up your ass', they might think that you are talking about a form of animal cruelty.

Strewth, maybe I should stalk strine. Oh, and by the way, Paul Hogan got it wrong when he said he'd 'throw a shrimp on the barbie'. In Australia, we call them prawns, so 'chuck a prawn on the barbie' would have been more appropriate.

Oh well, see youse later. No wucking furries about that.

I agree with the differences in vernacular, and I realize type "o"s, and some grammatical errors happen to everyone. However, generally the intention of the writer can still be understood.

What is becoming very frustrating is; the consistent "slang" apparent in some postings and this is redundant in the same writers. The lack of an insightful, semi-articulate post; moreover, responses which are immature in nature is becoming aggravating.

To exemplify; posting multiple comments with no more depth then "that sounds like fun”, or "I wish I could do that “especially when you have listed over 50+ postings in down right annoying. Please add your ideas, opinions, and comments with a bit of insight designed to assist others, your point will then be conveyed for all to understand.

All of us are guilty of errors in posting or not fully explaining what we are trying to say, I am not trying to bash anyone here; however, many lack any maturity and I am not referring to age...I mean in the ability to articulate and convey your honest thoughts. I do understand due to various ages & educational differences postings will be very different, this I can understand. It's difficult to accept the one's mentioned above and the ones with three lines which are spaced over 12 lines.

If you practice good writing techniques here, it will only develop your writing skills for the future, and how is a good time to start if you wish to be taken seriously. I apologize if I have insulted anyone but I really needed to vent on the subject.

Maybe some of this is a carry over from tex messageing? I will abbreviate when TEXing my GF cause it's sort of a pain typeing on a cell phone. I really don't know how to type correctly (hunt&peck) but if I have a real keyboard I try to use all the letters and spell the best I can. Probably got into the habit from when I wrote articles for the car club newsletter when I was prez. Whoops...I abreviated!LOL

I hate reading messages that people have typed in TEX speak. I find the abbreviated , unpunctuated language they use quite incomprehensible. I don't use it myself, as I think it is just a pain in the arse. Its too slow and clumsy. Honestly, if I'm going to go to the trouble of sending someone a text message, I'd rather just ring them up and talk to them.
