Re: can You pleas cheek this text grammer/spelling/punctuation

Grammar Geek — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 15:35:25 GMT

Hello todorovaska, and welcome to the English Forums.

1. In English, we don't capitalize "you."

2. You also use commas incorretly - never use a comma between the subject and verb as you have here: I, am the person. Almost all the commas in your letter don't belong.

3. witch should be which

4. Beyond stating your qualities, it's common to state briefly your experience. It's also common to enclose your resume or CV and to make reference to that in the letter.

Before I correct this further, is this a real job request, or is this a homework assignment?

It is just a list, so you can write a personal list any way that is helpful for you. However, if it is in a resume, essay or other more formal piece of writing, then you must concern yourself with parallel structure. It is unnecessary to use 'be':

Re: Words that are spelled the same but have different meanings

Hoa Thai — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 04:16:50 GMT

Dear all,

All passages below are from âCrazy Englishâ â by Richard Lederer, POCKET BOOKS. (I tried to find an Internet link, but failed. So please pardon me for the length of the text, which I believe would be very informative).

âHETERONYMS â words with same spelling as other words but with different pronunciations and meanings.

Listen, readers, toward me bow.
Be friendly; do not draw the bow.
Please donât try to start a row.
Sit peacefully, all in a row.
Donât squeal like a big, fat sow.
Do not the seeds of discord sow.

Membership in the exclusive club of heteronyms is strict, and tandems such as resume and rÃ©sumÃ© and pate and pÃ¢tÃ© are not admitted because the accent constitutes a change in spelling. Pseudo-heteronymic pairs like insult (noun) and insult (verb), â¦, read (present-tense verb) and read (past-tense verb), and primer (beginnerâs book) and primer (base coat of paint) are fairly common in English language, but they are not true heteronyms because their etymologies are so closely related. True heteronymic pairs that are not closely related in word formation are among the rarest occurrences.â

Richard gives these sentences:

After the slaver had sold his slaves, he could slaver over the money he made.
The unionized stockroom workers stacked bottles of ionized and unionized solutions.
The storm began to buffet the outdoor buffet.
The steam-driven tower pulled the disabled boat to the lighthouse tower.
The sewer threw her sewing into the sewer.
She is now resorting to resorting the mail.
He became resigned to the fact that he had resigned an unfair contract.

And he shares with us this poem:

Please go through the entrance of this little poem.
I guarantee it will entrance you.
The content will certainly make you content.
And the knowledge gained sure will enhance you.

A boy moped around when his parents refused.
For him a new moped to buy.
The incense he burned did incense him to go.
On a tear with a tear in his eye.

He ragged on his parents, felt they ran him ragged.
He just deserts they never gave.
He imagined them out on some deserts so dry.
Where for water theyâd search and theyâd rave.

At present he just wonât present or converse
On the converse of each high-flown theory
Or circles and axes in math class; he has
Many axes to grind, isnât cheery

He tries to play basketball, but often skied out,
So when the snows came, he just skied.
But he then broke a leg putting on his ski boots,
And his putting in golf was in need.

He once held the lead in a cross-country race,
âTil his legs started feeling like lead.
And when the pain peaked, he looked kind of peaked.
His liver felt liver, then dead.

A number of times he felt number, all wound
Up, like one with a wound, not a wand.
His new TV console just couldnât console
Or slough off a slough of despond.

The rugged boy paced âround his shaggy rugged room,
And he spent the whole evening till dawn
Evening out the cross-winds of his hate.
Now my anecdote winds on and on.

He thought: âDoes the prancing of so many does
Explain why down dove the white dove,
Or why a p ussy cat has a p ussy old sore
And bass sing in bass notes of their loves?â

Do they always sing, âDo re miâ and stare, apage,
At eros, apage, each minute?
Their loveâs not minute; thereâs an overage of love.
Even overage fish are quite in it.

These bass fish have never been in short supply
As they supply spawn without waiting.
With their love fluids bubbling, abundant, secretive,
Thereâs many a secretive mating.

Hope you would enjoy,
Hoa Thai

Motivation letter for Head of Finance

Anonymous — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 00:59:48 GMT

I will be greatful if someone can help me to review the spelling of this motivation letter. It is for a job application purpose. The ad askes for a Letter of Motivation which I think it is the corresponding Cover Letter in Europe, since the ad was published by an Austrian Company.

So please be so kind and check my writing and grammar making the corresponding changes in order it works in the European market.

Dear Mrs. Reynier:

In Addition, I have developed my professional skills by accomplishing several training courses provided by professional institutions, which helped fine-tune my ability to work hard and with sincerity, persistence, motivation, and resilience.

My experience in finance and internal controlling spans 10 years, with the last four as General Accountant in multinational companies, gathering knowledge in financial reports submissions to the headquarters prepared in compliance with US-GAAP and more recently under IFRS regulations. Furthermore, I have several experience in budgeting process, variance analysis, inventory management and ERP system implementation.

I believe working in a reputed company like (name of the company) will provide me an excellent opportunity for my career growth. I am confident that if provided the open position to serve at your company, I will prove myself to be an important asset through my dedication, sincerity and highest level of professionalism. Also, I hope my strong analytical ability, interpersonal relationship, theoretical and practical knowledge will help me to meet the selection criterion.

In addition to my experience, I have excellent command in English being fluent, both written and spoken with an advance level, having one year of studies in Toronto Canada.

Re: "Chat" phrases you hate

Of course Elfsleepy: www.thechatpage.com no cams, just people who want to meet friends from all over the world and learn English

I myself didn't find it a good one, Francesca! Last time I visisted there, there was a girl flirting a guy, and she kept talking all the time like "Hey, where r u? Do you hate me?", etc. Noone could chat there! It's hard to find a good chatroom! Native speakers are not interested in learning English, of course. They wanna talk, not teach. Unless they are very kind, they won't help you anything with your poor language. If you cannot understand them, they simply say bye (if they are polite) or stop chatting without saying anything (if they are not).

But if you simply go to a chatroom to learn English with people have the same purpose. They are (all) non-native speakers. Their English, even good, is not really natural. And you find that you don't want learn their English, anyway. Non-native speakers wanna seek native ones to practise English but sometimes, native speakers find that non-native ones seem to take advantages from them. And of course, they stop chatting! I've got several emails with resume/motivation letters attached from many non-speaking English countries, they ask me to correct them (even I'm not a native speaker!). Of course I don't have time to do that, unless they are from people I already had some chats with and I consider as friends. I can help if they ask me when chatting with me, but not a couple of long letters to check, even spelling mistakes. I get sick of them! I want to make friends, have some chit-chat, cultural exchanges... but NOT teaching English! My English is not that good!

So if you wanna talk with native speakers, try to improve your English by yourself first, so at least you can understand them in most of situations. They are willing to tell you what some slangs mean but not most of the time. I myself don't like the question "What does it mean?" all the time when I just use very simple English. When we go to a chatroom, just simply we want to have some gossips, to have fun. That's it! None wanna be an English teacher, neither do I. Teaching is some thing quite stressful, not that fun to do in free time. Anyway, best of luck for your English study! ^^

Cheers,
-Tammy

My resume for comments and critique. Please don't hold back. Thanks.

Anonymous — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 00:13:34 GMT

The following is a cut and paste of my professional resume. The format, which I believe is good, has been lost but the content remains. The resume is two pages long with a page break before the education section.
I am hoping to get feed back related to grammer, usage, punctionation, spelling and so one. If you are familiar with what an area is representing/about and you can offer tips on changing content or placement or such, please add such comments.

For all that read and post comment, my greatest thank you.

Chris
