Sometimes I mess up badly, but I´m sure grammar and syntax to be not the main culprit. I suppose what irks you is my habit of compressing semantically, more so then anything else. At least with my experience in English forums so far, it has been that who did not like the contents claimed my language to be incomprehensible, while others replying to them that one only needed to read attentively, with some even appreciating my writing style, sensing sorts of poetic talent. Things are almost similar with my native language, which is German. Literally or contents interested readers like it for its denseness, whereas a few dislike it for the same reason. I notice to becoming worse in English over past years. For one, because having no conversation live with native speakers, secondly, because of obviously increasing while currently expanding with another language that is being of a very different layout. Sometimes, when I re-read my posts and see that things have become too weird, I take them apart, simplify and stretch, but all in all I am not willing to spend more time on readjustment than I do already. I have been through altogether seven languages, and obviously meanwhile there are steps backwards, due to age. For who dislikes my contribution, I think he could just skip my posts or engage an ignore function, and leave my readings to those of the members who might be interested enough. Deniz, I find it remarkable that you like to jump on the waggon when natives critisize my English language. This now being the second time. Do you know how long my above post would had rendered if it had been covering same contents with your brick building elementary school English? Please be so perceptive to spare me an expertise of what you can´t overlook; thank you. Ruphus
