I am poor in my English! So how to correct?
If you see someone posting a question in the forum in bad grammar, would you blast him about his command of the language even though you understand what he is trying to explain?

1. dont be bombastic
2. use simple grammar: present tense, past tense, future tense
3. use dictionary. it is available on the internet too, free! :thumbsup:
4. use simple sentence, if it contains more than 10 words probably it is too long already
5. sign up at english class in the CC (assuming you are in singapore). They do have english class.
Admire your input for your internal reactions will
surely win hearts.
The difficulty now lies with TS whether he wants to
take the first step towards that challenge.
how do we know whether TS care to be understood? maybe TS command of english is only up to that standard?
how do we help when we do not know and blast TS instead.....:bsmilie:
Thank you for your encouragement.
Another way is that if you have microsoft word, type it in word first and turn on auto grammar and spellcheck.
Dont worry about formatting. After you are happy and done, copy and paste the text from word to clubsnap (work with other forum too).
I am not endorsing MS word, but this function in MS Word is pretty good.
yes, only to make funny if that one my friend.:bsmilie::bsmilie:

i quite like correcting people's grammar when they start threads on other people's grammar.
oh wait, that person's gone. :bsmilie:
But frankly speaking, even though I am quite tolerant with bad English, sometimes some posts were so badly written that I was unable to understand what they were trying to say even after reading several times. To these posts I did have the urge occasionally to ask them to polish up their English.

Will you critise a grammatically wrong poster?
