I'm gonna post a LONG comment and I hope you don't mind.<br /><br />These so-called "perfect bloggers" are just ignorant people to begin with. There is NO ONE in this world that can speak or write in perfect English. They are not even aware of this and they had to simply criticize others. Using bombastic words or having a wide range of vocabulary doesn't mean that he or she is a perfect English user. English is not as simple as that. The grammar and the sentence construction is important in determining the perfection of the English language.<br /><br />Many be no one is aware of these cases that most people used English wrongly including poets and writers. Do you know that George Bush made grammatical error in almost every single sentence he made? By the time he talked for 10 minutes, we could actually lost count of how many mistakes he made. And do anyone know, one of the greatest English literature maestro, William Shakespeare who invented words like assassination and eyeball had actually made numerous grammatical errors in his works? He need 40 editors to actually screen through his works before publishing them in order for the works to be perfect.<br /><br />Most full-time writers need to revise their sentences and editors need to go through their work before publishing them. More often than not, there are many mistakes needed to be corrected.<br /><br />Seeing how these professionals are unable to write or speak English perfectly, how are we as normal bloggers could actually get them perfect? These bloggers might think their English is perfect but actually they are not. So, stop being such a know-it-all.<br /><br />I'll say this is a great post in reminding these people to actually appreciate the content of the blog posts rather than the quality of the language because there is no one in this world that could master a language perfectly...As log as people can understand then everything is good...XDAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01882716212320514839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803575579487725268.post-49349152866805566032010-01-19T07:29:41.060+08:002010-01-19T07:29:41.060+08:00it is not necessary to blog in total proper englis...it is not necessary to blog in total proper english.. as long as the blogger is enjoying it, it's good enough.. however, if he has readers that are concerned for this grammar, perhaps he can try to improve.. =)Ken Wooihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09777306693372682810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803575579487725268.post-56050530712722873142010-01-19T02:04:38.806+08:002010-01-19T02:04:38.806+08:00agree with xiaopei, jard, kristin (and most of'...agree with xiaopei, jard, kristin (and most of'em) that the most important thing is still the message behind the blog post.<br /><br />some prefer blogging in broken english (or manglish/singlish) which tends to be their style. others prefer in proper english.. <br /><br />blogging is just a way to express one's thought, opinion or feelings.<br /><br />I don't see any reason for some people to stop blogging with improper English (though it may be irritating at some times) as long as the communication process (if there is any la~) between the reader & author is fine.<br /><br />some people may think: Blog only ma! need write essay meh? haha<br /><br />like ur blog dylan. 1st-timer here. cheers!-JayLeo™-https://www.blogger.com/profile/18024647191237621305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803575579487725268.post-18538738301946731492010-01-19T01:55:47.218+08:002010-01-19T01:55:47.218+08:00Catherine @ Soo Khoon:

I admit, i was one of the broken english blogger too. But i improve my english by blogging and learning from reading other blogs.<br /><br />Always give someone a chance, you may correct them or judge but not overly judge.

But we must really keep improving our English. and to those bloggers with poor English but still wishes to write in English, they must find a way to keep learning and improving. Read more materials, be it newspapers, magazines, books or someone's else blog. I'm sure they would be able to construct a proper sentence with minimal grammar error. But if what they do is to keep blogging without trying to improve, then i would say it'll be hard to reach out to people. I myself like to read blogs written in good english (proper sentence to the least but not bombastic words - its a blog, not a piece of literature)<br /><br />anyway, the critic is actually being rude. but i hope 'lengzhai' and any other bloggers out there see it from a positive side. use it as a motivation instead to keep improving and one day prove to him/her, that when there's a will, anyone and everyone can write with proper english.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216853792297271082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803575579487725268.post-27120306935924801492010-01-18T18:18:36.614+08:002010-01-18T18:18:36.614+08:00caloy:

It's just like any other forms of vehicle, if you write it good, it'll deliver ur msg accross faster. If you write it badly, ur msg may not be delivered or perhaps being misunderstood by others. <br /><br />Therefore, it's very important for us to think, before we write.
