I think that it's nice wehn the people don't critise the others. we didn't meet us in the "real live' therfore it's not possibl knwo for exmaple if a perosn's a girl or boy, lady or man and some of the people have some problems for exmaple i read that one person told he can't walk (Treopaul). I told what I've and this is ym private infos but in my real live when the peopl think that for exmaple I'm austistic I don't correct them and moslty i don;t inform. I think that it's nice to be toleran t if a perosn's some problems. I'm veyr sensitive and quickly upset. sorry for my mistakes or butchering englihs :-( Soemtimes I'm stupid i know and not clever with the social thisng but truly I'm not nasty at all and I never want ot see that a person or animal is sad. Hi earle ich schreibe Ihnen auf Deuthsch weil ihc scheinbar Engisch für Sie nicht gut genug kann. Lassen Sie mich in Ruhe. ich habe nie etwas gegen Ihenn getan.ich bin doch eine Mädel, kein Jungen, bitte nihct wieder schreiben ich sei männlich. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

Listen, you need to settle down. Nothing in life is so important you have to make a scene out of it. I'm sure you're a nice girl. No one is attacking you. Just settle down, ok? Good. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

Yes, i'm a nice girl. You're wrong: they were attacking me: earle called me "he" and tht I haven't credibility, and the other person (from Norway I dont' know the nick) critisised my spelling and said it's ridiclous. those are nasty attacks. I hadn't attacked them. Yes ok, it's better I settle down. now i have to complete an essay, which I have to finish in the next days. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

Don't worry Jar-ptitsa. Your spelling is mostly fine, it just looks like typing errors to me (ie, right letters, wrong order). I know that anti-psychotic meds (let alone schizophrenia itself) can make it extremely difficult for people to concentrate, so you are doing incredibly well to have such a broad language ability.
Just ignore your critics :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

Hi Dark Sunshine. Thank you veyr much for your nice post. I'm very happy when a person undertsand. yes, it's very difficult conecntrate (sometimes, not always) but those anti-psychotic meds make tired, it's true and I think that this difficulyt of the letters is by those meds but I'm not sure because since the type I've now (about 1 year and half) I had to give much blood, every week although now every month. also, maybe it's because of my vision, which is 120% when the people (humans) have usually maximum 100% but in general 70% therfore my vision's better that all the world. It's absolutely correct: ym spellings' fine, I exactly know the spelling of the words, btu when i type them they're sometimes not in the correct order. In my school we've somethings for itl, for exmaple when it's bad I can use the text-> speech for reading (it's when I'm reading difficlt as well) and for writting I've Word for Mac and it automatically make the spellcheck, btu it changes all the thinsg when i don't watn therfore when I write an imporatnt thing for example a letter or essay I use it but I prefer to not have such a checker. It's every day diffrent as well. Maybe I better write all my posts in Word then copy-paste? Dark Sunshine you're a nice person. ">

Jar-ptitsa: Je m'excuse, je t'ai prise pour une fainéante! I totally appologize, and would never dream of criticizing anyone for having a handicap or special needs. I thought your comments were written in haste, with no thought of checking your spelling. Of course you are entitled to participate here like anybody else. None of us are flawless, least of all me. No hard feelings, eh? Edited by AnneNedjma on 12 May 2009 at 4:02pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

I say this in all seriousness and in a spirit of friendship. Yes, if that is what it takes to get yourself to use the language correctly, then it might be worth it. In my opinion it is nearly as important to use the language correctly as it is to be able to use it in the first place. I re-read my posts before making them, looking for spelling errors, typo errors, and problems with construction, and there is no reason that you can't do the same. I understand that it is not a disability that causes me to make the errors I make in writing, but I still do my best to correct them. I understand that you have a disability that makes it difficult for you to write and perhaps to proofread. But that perhaps means that it is preferable to write fewer posts and re-read them perhaps multiple times before sending them to have them correct to the best of your ability. Otherwise, through no fault of your own, the things you are trying to say don't get communicated as well as they otherwise could. As I say, I mean this in a spirit of friendship and understanding, but no one is forcing you to pump out a new post every ten minutes and it would probably be better for your own language learning if you took more time and care with making sure that your writing is correct. I understand that it is difficult, but we all make mistakes and have to correct them--it is difficult for everyone. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

I have read many, if not most of Jar-Ptitsa's posts, including her contributions to my own log, and there is absolutely nothing to even hint that Jar-Ptitsa isn't what she says she is, namely a young female from Belgian with a large potential for language learning, but also with an illness that may explain the vagaries of her spelling. In fact it is more likely that Earle is a 500-year old female green alien from outer space than that Jar-Ptitsa shouldn't be what she says she is. Besides I know from early postings that her spelling in both English and Dutch usually is much better than what you have seen here.
Ortho has given some good advice above, and Jar-Ptitsa gives one more hint herself, namely to write her contributions in Word first and use the inbuilt spell-checker (which is as multilingual as herself). It would make her writing style less colourful, but right now it is just too easy to dismiss her because of the glaring spelling errors, especially if you don't know the background. And apart from that: this thread is steadily growing more nasty. I know that the language situation in Belgium is problematic at best, but it is irritating to see this spill over into this forum.
