I started out writing English like this before putting myself through night school to become more proficient. I am not perfect yet, but hope I have improved enough to be readable. I found the poem quite funny, Jacob Erin.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

You are quite proficient...and I identify with your style of writing and the heart you invest into it.
thank you for reading and commenting on my work,

As I recall, King Awthur was a man of pashin, too.

Hi Ciara,

Happy holidays!

Smiling here J because I see this quite a few times on the forum. As a teacher I think this is likely to drive you nuts. Content and expression are very important but being able to understand what is being presented is too. Too many spelling errors is likely to be off putting fir the reader.

I just think poetry is precious to us...and language is what makes it so....I just believe in strong proofreading or editing when sharing our work.
thanks, Chris,

A great play on the English language. I was never good at spelling and the lack of phonics in the language make it all the harder. The point you make is a great one. People grade you on grammar and spelling, assuming you are ignorant and not worthy of consideration when you error. My feeling for all art is not the exactness and beauty of its form but the emotions it evokes.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I understand that...and agree...but poetry is confined to a small space and numerous errors seem careless and so fixable...
And your poetry is a joy to read,

A witty irreverent piece that speaks to my heart and humor. There is no doubt you have an undeniable love for this art form of writing. Your work speaks volumes to the passion you have for the written form of art. An expansive library that continues to grow and reflect an artist's uncompromising mind for his creativity. A soul as wise to living as he is to writing. You are the gift that keeps on giving, Jacob. An everyday Christmas. CLE

You are very kind with your words, Carlos...thank you,

Could retitle: sounds of a frustrated teacher of English?

I would have written 'ignoar' ;)

I agree with the point you made here. Although I'd still give non-English speakers 1% leverage (being one myself), it's kinda exasperating to read this note from a native speaker.

Made me smile, this one.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

oh more leverage than that Yumna...it is the native speakers who can be more careful with our language and aren't.
glad you got a smile from it.

Such a fun poem! Laughed out loud.
I think a piece of writing put out for public consumption should honor the basic rules of the language. You made your point brilliantly.

Dank you for daring Jacob!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your response, DIVYA,
