Erm.. Talk english every day for a year? Wut?


yes, a year, it takes at least that long to become truly fluent in a language, I would not trust the grammatical abilities of anyone who hasn't been speaking of language for more than a year.

I bolded it in the quote. You said "I speak never English" instead of "I never speak English". Sorry if I offended you if it was an honest mistake, but you could see how I thought you might be being ironic, as if you meant, "Just use a translator (intentional grammar fail), it works great!" See you could have been sarcastic, meaning that translators aren't reliable for a proofread.

Which they aren't. The best thing to do is proofread it yourself, and like theBMB says, get someone fluent in English to proofread it if possible.

Sorry if I came off like a jerk Siveo, I didn't mean to be.


Aah no, that's just me writing an incorrect mess like usual! Well, it would be nice for my guide if some1 could read it for a grammar/vocabular check! I've done some spell checks but as you already mentioned, they are not always correct!

Sooooo ... Is there anyone fluent in English that wants to proofread my guide? :P

I want to offer my services to non-English speakers but... I already have a ton of work from school... I'll do it anyway.
