@linesa- Yeah, getting involved and participating in the foreign language you're trying to learn is said to be the best way to improve- and to improve rapidly.
Oh yeah, it's a sad situation. The thing is, too many people write lazily in casual settings like when they're on the internet or texting their friends. They then bring that bad writing into their educational/professional work. In 7th grade, there was this one girl that wrote every single "you" as "u" because that was how she wrote it when she typed. I asked her why she did that on a rather large assignment, and she said she simply forgot that she had to spell correctly. It doesn't help that, for whatever reason, reading has become a chore for most people instead of something that brings pleasure. Everyone is too absorbed with their technology and how it can help them shortcut their way through life to take the time to take a step back and realize how counterproductive that is.
They did, and because the words are so different is why it's so bad. It gets worse still because that person is a university student who should have known better.
I'm assuming it was a student in one of her lower level classes, since she allows them to write more in English than she does the ones in the higher levels. But yeah, it's ironically amusing that it's a person who doesn't speak English as her first language who has to deal with such terrible writing of native speakers *eyeroll*
I don't think I've ever seen any mods ever reprimand anyone for going off topic, actually. I don't think that's something they are very worried about. People like @AEventyr and I went off topic in my TGO thread all the time, and nothing ever happened.
The next chapter should be fun ^^ Ethereal gets a big surprise at the very end that really does more to show how different this rainbowcy is going to be. There should be enough clues in Chp. 1 to figure out what's going to happen if you're interested in taking another look :smiley:
