When I started posting a few years ago, it was mostly to practise my English, I enjoyed typing my posts and looking up most words in the dictionary, unfortunately after some years this got tiresome, you must understand what takes you 5minuts to write can take me 3h, even then I often erase and start all over because it doesn’t read the way I expected.

So yes this forum is my English class, sometimes I get frustrated a want to post ASAP without going thru the entire dictionary.

I have no problems understanding your point, and I surely respect this with any language, as I also exchange in 4 other languages, however hers my problem.
I have never complained to anyone about there difficulties of communication, not that I never felt the need, but simply because doing so is perhaps more insulting to the person trying to communicate in a foreign language then it is for me to try and understand them. I have no problems saying when theirs something I don’t understand, not understanding someone is in no way an insult, shutting off to him because your to damn lazy to make an effort in understanding is not only insulting but its like shutting off the world around you.
Of course this is not aimed at you in anyway, I am only generalising here, and also not only do I agree with your view, but I am now able to be careful about my wording, theirs no excuse for being careless, and I have been careless no dough.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Ps. FR is right when you know someone and have spoken to them, you can see there accent in the way they write. I have no dough Frank sees my writing as he hears my voice, this keeps us bonded in some way.
