Hi, I'm Claire. Have been a long time not introduce myself in English. Haha.. I would like to say that I feel so great to find the board that everyone chats, talks, shares or asks things they want here. I never found it since i've used ptt for couple years. > <" I used to study in Cincinnati, Ohio and had been back to Taiwan for one more year. Feeling pity that seldom oppotunities to be able to speak English due to environment of Taiwan. Happy to be here to introduce a little bit about myself to everyone. I live in Taichung, and 24 years old which formal things need to be mentioned At last, nice to meet everyone here no matter what reason makes you here. For learning, improving or just like it, or others. Let's make ourselves better here. :) The End! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 175.182.41.151

Ryuce:well actually "offence" is the british spelling while "o 10/26 02:10
Ryuce:ffense" is the american. its like "license" and "licence 10/26 02:10
Ryuce:" same thing different spelling. 10/26 02:10
nkotb131:Most people learn "American English" though. 10/26 10:36
nkotb131:For example, most people say "sweaters" not jumpers 10/26 10:36
nkotb131:But I guess words like "colour" or offence are more 10/26 10:37
nkotb131:acceptable now 10/26 10:38
oldmei:be nice. 10/27 07:17
Ilovepasta:How do you expect people not to be offended when 10/29 10:13

Ilovepasta:if you ask me 10/29 10:14
Ilovepasta:Welcome Claire :) 10/29 10:14
Ryuce:why would anyone say "no offense" when the thing they're 10/30 02:15

nkotb131:poor grammar. I commented on the spelling, and he 10/30 06:24
nkotb131:said it's "British spelling". And I said most people 10/30 06:25
nkotb131:learn "American English", not British English. 10/30 06:26
Ilovepasta:LOL Ryuce, thanks a lot for your examples, but what 10/31 21:33

Ilovepasta:"um no offence but for someone who has studied in 10/31 21:35
Ilovepasta:America your english seems pretty poor"...So you 10/31 21:35
Ilovepasta:don't think people would be offended by what you 10/31 21:36
Ilovepasta:said? It's quite a harsh thing to say to someone 10/31 21:36
Ilovepasta:who's new to the board and even made the effort to 10/31 21:37
Ilovepasta:introduce themselves to everyone. SO WHAT if their 10/31 21:38
Ilovepasta:grammar isn't perfect? It's so important that you 10/31 21:38
Ilovepasta:felt the need to point that out in public? 10/31 21:39
Ilovepasta:Ridiculous. 10/31 21:39
Ilovepasta:So I guess you wouldn't be offended if I said "no 10/31 21:40
Ilovepasta:offence Ryuce, but you're a jerk"? 10/31 21:41
Ilovepasta:Btw nkotb131, there's nothing wrong with using 10/31 21:43
Ilovepasta:British English in Taiwan, even though majority of 10/31 21:43
Ilovepasta:the people uses American English. 10/31 21:44
nkotb131:"No offense" is just a polite way to criticize, 10/31 22:06
nkotb131:doesn't mean it's not offensive or harsh 10/31 22:06
nkotb131:and he was right in saying that a person who 10/31 22:07
nkotb131:had lived in America for so long still uses poor 10/31 22:07
nkotb131:grammar. Besides, without criticism, how will anyone 10/31 22:08
nkotb131:improve? Sure, people can use nicer words, but 10/31 22:08
nkotb131:rude comments are just as effective 10/31 22:08
Ilovepasta:But who are we to criticize others? 10/31 22:51

Ryuce:hers. Face it, you're no different. 10/31 23:27
Ryuce:I've sent a PM to the OP apologizing for my comments 10/31 23:35
Ryuce:so let's just end this here 10/31 23:36
Ryuce:or would you rather continue? 10/31 23:42
nkotb131:We should end it here. Sorry that this had dragged on 11/01 05:11
nkotb131:for song long 11/01 05:11
Ilovepasta:Yes you're right, in this instance, I'm no 11/01 22:55
Ilovepasta:different; but why would I be discreet with someone 11/01 22:55
Ilovepasta:who bluntly lashed out at others in the first 11/01 22:56
Ilovepasta:place? It sucks when you're the one that's been 11/01 22:56

HSPHHPM2HP:can't agree with you more, oldmei. 11/05 14:52
aquamoose:well...I don't think Ryuce really wants to be 11/05 18:53
aquamoose:offensive 11/05 18:53
aquamoose:But yea, i agree when people starts a sentence with 11/05 18:54
aquamoose:"no offense", i be pissed off too 11/05 18:54
aquamoose:it pretty much implies that you realize what you're 11/05 18:55
aquamoose:saying is potentially offensive 11/05 18:55
aquamoose:but if you feel the need to start a sentence with 11/05 18:58

aquamoose:don't come off as harsh 11/05 19:00
----------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, Claire again. Well, i dont know how to deal with the situation. Really feel sorry for bringing an arguement. Im appreciated for everyone who gave comments here. Indeed, I felt a little bit sad in the beginning cuz i didnt find the grammar errors I made until I just came here to see my article again. "What a suck grammar i used!" comes up to my mind. Sorry.. i think I was really tired at that day so that I didnt know what a stupid grammar I used. The really poor grammar makes me belly laugh Besides, I wanna say again that I thank who welcame me and who tried to correct my English. I wont say Im good cuz i stayed in America for a while. Continue learning and impoving English will be the thing for my all life. If I make any mistake for my grammar or something, plz dont hesitate to correct me, but no more arguement please. Feel so sorry for that >"< Be peaceful. ※ 編輯: iwbyaf 來自: 175.182.41.151 (11/05 23:43)
