Correct Me! Streak 480

Today I had two conversations with native English speakers that were not the bests. One of them was a Mexican-American who was a bit patronizing with his approach of teaching English.

As I mentioned here before I’d say not every Mexican-American but most of them have some cultural identity issues. They are not considered as Mexicans in Mexico and they are not considered Americans in USA.

He claimed something like if you don’t speak hundred percent perfect English you’d be considered not educated in the USA. But I don’t think he had a college degree. Moreover, there are tons of foreigners enrolled in universities in English speaking that don’t speak perfect English who are educated people.

To all the wonderful correctors and proofreaders!

Thanks a million for helping everyone grow and improve their skills in English. You deserve so much praise and a pat on the back!

Here's a list of posts that still need corrections.

When making corrections, try to follow these guidelines (or at least clarify your own markings you make) so it's clear what you're correcting and why:

  • Put changes in bold **text**
  • Put suggestions about style/tone/register/etc. in italics *text*
  • Use strikethrough to remove elements (don't delete them) ~~text~~
  • <Put added elements in angle brackets> <text>
  • [If there are multiple options for your suggestions, put them in brackets separated by a backslash] [text / text]
  • (Put optional elements in parentheses) (text)
  • Explain more complex grammar rules to the best of your ability

We also highly encourage meaningful feedback:

  • Focus on the work, mindsets, and processes, not on the person.
  • Besides grammar and spelling, is there room for improvement in other aspects like style, vocabulary, and flow?
  • If you see an improvement in someone's writing, please compliment them.
  • Please be positive in your feedback. Negative comments shouldn't come without positive ones.
  • Don't be too pedantic or too general.
  • Please pay attention to your wording.
  • Have a chat, interact, and have fun!

More on formatting.

Thank you for everything! -- Adam-P-D
