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.

As others have said, your English is clear and also very distinctive. Perhaps because you learned mostly on your own, you have a unique and recognizable voice in English, and I love "listening" to you. I teach college students for a living and an alarming number of them not only can't write clear English, but can't be bothered to learn. I hate it when they express impatience with non-native English speakers in class, and I stand ready to call them out. Most of my Latino or Asian students come to my social science classes after years of struggling to learn English, and their efforts are impressive. They have a passion for mastery and put so much into endeavors that my more callow American students just don't understand. It's willful ignorance that drives me crazy, and that's what your anonymous commenter sounds like to me: willfully ignorant and dismissive of someone's passion and progress. Sorry for such a long comment! You are a jewel!
