    and (wrongly)

    It's definitely not just you. I have heard this talked about a lot lately. It has to do with text messaging and IMing all of these things are giving us "short-hand" habits. It much quicker to just write and not worry about grammar errors or spelling errors when you're are typing quickly.

    Communication is not what you speak, but what others understand.
    So, as far as you understand what people are trying to convey, it is fine.Not everyone speaks English like a American or British.

    Nintendo, there isn't even such word as gotten in the English language. I'm sure it's something that Americans made up ;)

    mate people tend to write in a weird style because they want to make the post short and quick.
    most of the time it is the difference b/w you getting the work or not.
    neways sorry you feel the way you feel

    humm... so what English skills we are improving after all, British or American?

    anyways @ OP, if you are planning to improve your English skills, then try the copyrighting forum, and follow the posts of these members - internetauthor, jhmattern, DeniseJ and a few more... am sure you will improve a lot.

    Edit: ohh and yes, don't forget to learn the - Wacko English, he may take you to Zeekois some day,

    I think the American English needs a bit of brushing up, with its "color" business.

    Haha, that's exactly my problem too!!! :) Anyway, what model is this? Don't tell me you gon a 9K boldie, did you? Load it now with tons of apps and be mega productive. My personal favourite is this freeware blackberry site. Should we create a group of BB fans here at DP? :)

    I agreed. And sometime, people point out others' mistakes of English writings, speaking, and reading skills, but in the same time, they do have mistakes on those English skills. So I don't know what to say about this.:confused::confused:

    Post padding :mad:

    You should have said:

    "English is important for you to understand any topics at DP".
