English is not my first/native language!

Kpop/AFF RantΦ

English- a language which originates from England.

Ok ok, English is not my first language either but I'm just sick and tired of hearing of the sob excuses like "Oh, I'm so sorry for the mistakes. English is not my native/first language"

I understand these people since I'm kind of in the same boat as them because I'm also learning English everyday even though I'm now fluent in it.

I always see stories with great potential but when I begin reading the foward(if it has one) or the first chapter, I immediately unsubscribe and head for a different direction.

You're probably wondering why I do that, aren't you?

Well I do this because:

1.) Poor grammar

2.) Bad spelling

3.) Little to no words detailing the characters and setting

If you do have poor grammar and/or you're bad at spelling, you should allow others who happen to be fluent in English correct it.

Or another way is simply having a dictionary by your side while writing, if you're unsure of your spelling. I personally use the dictionary as my tool for spelling and I also use my friend, who proof reads my stories and points out my mistakes.

Chapter 1: I love but most of the fics I read were so cringy. The 'bottom' was always created to be the weak and girly guy. Might as well make it into a female character.

Chapter 8: I kinda have the same opinion as you, but romajis don't bother me that much... :/ I mean, yes, I get annoyed when I see complete sentences, hellos(or greetings in general) and "I love you"'s written in romaji, but I accept people using like, oppa, noona, hyung, unnie and many others in the same genre. But I completely understand what you mean, though.

Chapter 8: Your last rant is so right on the money. I have a thesaurus on my pc. I sleep next to my thesaurus. Dictonaries also. If you write. You must read.

Chapter 8: I can relate to some of your rant. However, I find romanization like oppas and unnie fine though. lol idk

Chapter 8: I can relate with you on some issues tbh. I despise romanization and mpreg.

Chapter 3: Just keep your thought to yourself. Don't flaunt it somewhere else. I know that it's your right to be judging but don't you think some writers could be offended by your urr..(don't know what to call it)..okay, i'm just telling that its better to think about your action before doing it. ciao~ No hard feelings.
