How skilled is your use of the English language

Bitter, sweetness I tell you!

This exceeding trifling witling, considering ranting criticizing concerning adopting fitting wording being exhibiting transcending learning, was displaying, notwithstanding ridiculing, surpassing boasting swelling reasoning, respecting correcting erring writing, and touching detecting deceiving arguing during debating.

its good what my colon can get people to say :rolleyes:
 
I used be active on XDA Developers, across a few different device forums and the environment is no where near as pleasant as here.

I actually like it here, unlike there. :)
 
It is with great regret that my written English is so poor. I have tried my best to improve it since leaving school at fifteen some ? years ago. But it will never get to what I think is an acceptable standard now.
 
I don't write books nor do I ever intend to so my English written language skills are somewhat poor, but after seeing 50 shades of grey became a hit even though I'm assured it's fraught with mistakes and poor structuring skills I am now confident in my ability to have someone else write me an autobiography if I do ever happen to became "FAMEd" init FAM

BRAP BRAP BRAP!
PEACE OUT BLUD!

I am sure this is pretty basic for most of you however, do you know how to use punctuation properly such as, '(apostrophe) '(quote); : " -.

How about capitalisation, grammar and vocabulary. Do you know what nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, prepositions, conjunctions are. All childsplay to you folks I assume?

This has got to be a troll given the obvious mistakes in the OP.

That's hardly an excuse. I don't write books either, but understand the importance of appropriate punctuation and grammar, for example in a CV, professional email, etc.

Probably comes from coding, where a missing semi-colon or period destroys the entire application :p

Obviously it's not critical in informal settings like instant chat and forums, but why allow yourself to develop bad habits (or miss opportunities to practice good ones)?
 
My written English skills are OK, just I tend to write in code more than actual English.

SQL & SSIS are my native languages now.

Me too but I find that this forum actually maintains, a reasonable standard which is nice.
