Could you please help me with this?



  • The term "free range" is mainly used as a marketing term rather than a husbandry term, meaning something on the order of, "low stocking density," "pasture-raised," "grass-fed," "old-fashioned," "humanely raised," etc
  • I have different groups of friend and with each group I use different words to mean the same thing. Like with one group I say fag other I say cig.
  • In the past as soon as the undressing was finished, the performance (was) finished. (striptease)
  • There are 3 steps to the housework, first you look around for the most obvious things to do than you clean the places that need cleaning and than you go back in detail and make sure to make sure the place is radiant.



thank you

Persistent careless grammar and weird contents and construction will likely dowse the enthusiasm of those who want to help you. Sigh....

Could someone please take a look at this instead of saying whatever it is you day repeatedly. I don't find the sentences weird at least not these and for the punctuation and grammar, I personally don't see anything wrong with them.


thanks

“Could someone please take a look at this instead of saying whatever it is you day repeatedly. ”

 

I regret that you feel this way and take offensive on my comments. Among those who had helped you recently, I happened to be the most risky with my comments on your writing. For the sake of argument, the comments were intended to help you identify your problem areas and improve them. Obviously, your attitude toward the advice and constructive criticisms is one with disgust, and you feel you have no grammar and punctuation problems.

 

On that note, I promise, I won't comment on your threads further.

Dimsumexpress --  I'm not sure that criticising what you call his "careless grammar and weird contents and construction" is very helpful  -- I don't find his constructions any weirder than those of any other English learner.   Nor have I ever felt his attitude to be one of disgust.  If you don't want to answer his posts, then don't, but there is no need to insult another member.
