Atually, the English you use is a great deal better than that many native English speakers use. We'll forgive you for being a Norwegian--not a native English speaker--what we dislike are people who can but choose not to type properly as a result of sheer laziness. It's alright. We could all understand your question--that's answer enough.

However, you might want to be a little more mindful of your tone. It sounds a little accusatory--'do you really'--implies that we do expect you to type perfect english and that this expectation is wrong on our part. I take it that you didn't know--still, if others don't you could get heavily criticised for that. So be careful.

Thank you for persevering and practising english--learning. That is what is most valuable.

Cheers.

No, I can't expect you to type perfect english for 2 reasons: English is not your native tongue. As long as it's understandable, it's good. Second, even Americans can't write English right. You must have noticed a lot of them write horrible English as if they are on a mission to decimate the English language.

personally i have no problem with people not using perfect english as long as i can understand what they are trying to say - the people that nit pick about spelling instead of answering the question, usually make spelling mistakes during thier criticisms and the spell checker isnt infallible anyway

As long as ur english makes meaning I guess it's ok but there's nuttin bad if u try to learn perfect english. English language is sort of universal.

Our language isnt that difficult !

We have 5 years olds speaking it fluently over here.

Sorry I couldn't resist that. Whilst I was learning Danish I was told that all the time. Good on you for practising it on here.

You had better shape up; we all know how smart Norwegians are. And, you had better start answering some questions too.
