I'm ITALIAN!!!

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.

Yes of course you make mistakes in English and for the very good reason that it is not your first language as any halfwit would recognise. As many said here, your grasp of the language is impressive as is your vocabulary and I too find the Italian melody rather charming when it comes through. I can honestly say I know quite a few 'English native speakers' who manage their mother tongue with less assurance and a lot less refinement than you do.

Thank you, I should really not be bothered by those comments, but sometime I'm so tired of them. Lucky me, they didn't happen often. Elisa
