Message	"Seriously, I will murder the next person who makes a grammar mistake on a post. I do not care if English is your second language; please, just take the time to read over your work. I’m not naming any names here, but it is really getting on my nerves. And, while I am at it, can someone PLEASE comment on my work? I’m in need of advice, or even inspiration, and I have 3+ poems with no comments. So, PLEASE, if you have the time." This is actually the proper correction according to English grammar (I put ’I will murder’ in the front to illustrate that no comma is needed between the following phrase and it, because they are a single idea wherever it’s placed--that is, beginning or end).

Message	I hate to bring up the fact, though, that you complained about foreign people slaughtering English, yet it’s okay for your English to deteriorate despite the fact it’s the one you were -born- with. That’s so contradictory I hardly want to touch it. I don’t mind helping people with grammar, either; I spend most of my time on Skype doing that.

Message	I’m not sure how seriously I can take this post. Your grammar isn’t sparkling, either. In fact. . . while it’s not the most horrible I’ve ever seen, it’s still pretty bad. English is my second language and I remember how difficult it was to correct my own work without even understanding what a mistake was. I’d suggest you chill out and worry about your own grammatical errors before you fuss over anyone else’s.

Message	Yea that is true. Oh and btw dont be fooled by the fact my asl says I live in Beijing. I am American living here. Anyways yeah I have seen alot of people who write english better than people who are native. I am just saying for those people who dont speak english that well and aware that it isnt that good. This reminds me of when I was in the states last summer and on the radio there was some guy saying how "if you live in america you MUST speak english, or else we are sending you out" and it really pissed me off because america is supposed to be one huge boiling pot of everyone from everywhere. Anyways yeah...random thought.

Message	Ok....I apologize if I have offended anyone. I just was thinking that if english is someones second language and they are writing poetry with many mistakes...well they should probably realize that it isnt that great. I mean...why not write in their mother tongue on a different site or something. or even on this site but with a translation so we know what the poem is about but it still is possible to see rhythm and flow in it. And yes I apologize for taking the suspense from being your stalker, but I bet you didnt know that we take shifts and so there is more than one XD

Message	This is obnoxious. True, I can stand grammar mistakes either, but come on. Especially the "I don’t care if English is your second language." You probably don’t know how difficult it is for others who use English as a second language, otherwise you wouldn’t have wrote that. Try it sometimes yourself, and maybe the next time you post something like this you won’t come off half as obnoxious.
