I'm ITALIAN!!!

[reviews_and_ramblings]

I'm Italian, my first language is Italian not English, in my profile there is the evidence that I live in Italy, I have never said that I studied English in a professional way, I always alert my English friends when I have to meet them that I don't speak fluently in English...

so please could you stop to leave nasty comments about my foreign languages skill?

IF you want to comment to help me, to warn me about a grammar error, to alert me if my sentence was bad phrased so much that what I want to say is not clear, you are welcome to do so.

BUT if you only want to be offensive, than go in another blog. First I didn't ask you to come here, if you did, it was your choice. Second, how many foreign languages do you know? When I was in school, I had 10/10 in Italian, literature and grammar, plus above the average vote in History. I graduated in Economics with 103/110 in 3,5 years when the time lapse was 4, and when the average in my University (one of the best Economics facutly in Italy) was 7...

Do you have the same results as me? If so, you are allowed to leave nasty comments, IN ITALIAN, on my LJ. We can play at the same level.

How utterly childish. I must admit that I get quite annoyed when I read incorrect spelling or grammar from a native English speaker since I find that those errors could be easily avoided but I am constantly amazed by all the wonderful friends I have made on LJ whose first language is not English and who have such an amazing grasp of it anyway. I wish I could claim such a facility with other languages. I am particularly impressed that you read so many books in English and write so many wonderful and helpful reviews and the odd incorrect word usage does not disturb me since it adds a flavour to your review that allows me to almost hear you speaking them out loud. I really think people need to find something else to do since they obviously have so much spare time to criticize you for minor errors which in no way detract from your enlightening contributions.

Thank you. I started to read in English since I wanted so bad to read books that weren't available in Italian. I really wasn't of the idea to post reviews, but there were so many books and so few places where to find info, that I thought my LJ was a good place. I have never pretended to be a professional reviewer and always hurt when people get nasty on me. Elisa
