Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Over my entire life I have always welcomed constructive review of my language skills. In college I excelled in math and science but vocabulary took me down. So I read, read and read. Took tests and studied, Now speaking is exciting with having the constructive thought at hand and wishing to verbalize it.

I've been called a grammar nazi more than once. Probably not always in jest.
Interested in English grammar, phonetics, intonation, etc. I used to be a voice & accent trainer for call centers in the Philippines and have done a fair share of writing, editing, and proofreading work.

I have some questions on phonetics. I'd like to know if you would talk over Skype or some other app where voice call can be done?
English grammar? I'm sure most of us would be interested in it in order to use it to communicate here.
Phonetics? I love phonetics. I studied Linguistics.

@maturin1919 Because we don't spell with the phonetic alphabets? That's the only way to spell in the exact way a word sounds.
@maturin1919 I know.
Noyi:
It's said that most non-native English speakers can understand the English of people of almost all countries except the native English speaking countries. Why is it so?
@Noyi Really? I don’t think I’ve ever heard that. I would guess because many languages share common grammatical forms and there is often interference from one’s native language to the second language in terms of grammatical forms from the native language being used with vocabulary from the second language. This type of interference might be common among a number of different languages so to the learner it makes sense while the correct grammar spoken by the native speaker might sound odd. For example, in a lot of languages articles are missing (the, a, an, etc.). Often articles are missing from the English of learners because they are missing in their own native languages. The English of learners might also be a lot simpler because they are only basic. I don’t know the real reasons. I’m just postulating.
