I know I might regret making this post, because I �ll probably receive "tons" of criticism, but I �ll take my chances.
You have seen that I don �t use the forum that often, I do once in a while request help, because there are so many wonderful teachers here who are so generous and helpful.
But I feel that sometimes, maybe not intentionally, but some members make one feel stupid, or ignorant. I mean, sometimes we do post, maybe silly questions, or for others, more than obvious. But please remember there are sooooo many different cultures, levels of knowledge, experience, etc, regarding the English language (which is what has brought us all together in the first place).
I �m not talking just about this thread, I �ve seen this reaction in many others, but mostly I abstain myself from commenting, although I love reading the forum everyday.
Sometimes these comments prevent us from wanting to participate and post any other question, in fear of feeling criticized for our question or post.
Just an invitation to be nice, be polite. If you think it was a dumb, silly, or obvious question, well.... we don �t have to answer do we?
Alright, now I �ll get ready for
!!! One by one, please!!!! LOL
