Dashed Off

There are a lot of people who don't know how to improve their English writing.  Actually, reading good English article is surly useful to our writing ability.  Besides, you can try writing a diary in English, or find a forgien penpal.  Anyway, continuly practice is the only way to make progress.

Does dashed off mean that you wrote this passage hastily and without care, Whatup?

Are jottings and dashed off the same?

They both suggest casual writing not carefully composed.  My point is that you should edit any passage with care before you submit it to us.

Please read it through yourself first, and correct the obvious spelling errors.  If you are unsure, use your dictionary.

Hi Whatup,

I guess you are missing an important point here, as pointed out by MM. It is my kind opinion that if  you deliberately post a message with no care, then chances are very less that anyone would correct your mistakes or respond your message.

Thank you!


There are a lot of people who don't know how to improve their English writing.  Reading good English articles is certainly useful to your writing ability.  You can also try writing a diary in English, or find a foreign penpal.  Anyway, continual practice is the only way to make progress.


And good advice it is, Whatup.
