Talking English

For people who are familiar with the English language, speaking and writing are peanuts for they know for sure about the correct grammar usage, terminologies, sentence construction, etc. The people considered as good speakers and writers are identified as the native English speakers (i.e. North America & Great Britain) and people from around the world who took formal education in college and studied the English language as required.

However, there is a demarcation line that delineates native English speakers from the people who studied English as their second language. And we can see them in blog sites lording in the internet. Conspicuously, non-native English speakers and writers are more than critical or tending to find fault on certain articles which they consider as grammatically erroneous.

Ultimately, the non-native English speakers and writers, acting like English Gurus, are unforgiving in their criticism to others. They act like as if the bragging right of being a good English speaker and writer belongs to them. They flaunt their English knowledge as if they are the aces of jokers joking around with derision.

As a blogger and consider writing and reading as vocation, I don’t mind if my English is correct or not. The most important thing is that I send the message across through my articles. And I don’t mind if I have no formal education in college and bereft of any bragging right as good English speaker and writer.
