<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 2642521, member: 4298&quot;]Thanks for those kind words [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER] (and others expressing a similar idea). It&#039;s not just an effort on our side, it&#039;s also funny and a nice way to improve our comprehension of english (mostly american english).</p><p><br /></p><p>Although I&#039;ve studied english at school and visited anglo-saxon countries so many times, the real improvement at understanding and writing english started when I joined Forvm and then CT a few months later. The first five years or so, I often used to apologize on my poor understanding and writing skills. I&#039;m now able to express ideas, not just basic statements (sometimes it may sound a bit &quot;heavy&quot; like a lumpy gravy I guess), and spot the occasionnal mistake from people having english as their mother language (&quot;I would <b>of</b>&quot;, &quot;that is better <b>then</b> this&quot;, etc...).</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, it&#039;s sometimes hard to understand when it&#039;s not just about words but way of thinking, way of life, civilization. Staying open minded to consider what the other has intended to express is the key, and that works both ways <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Long story made short : I love to be here</p><p>Q[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
