Answer 1

In some ways, writing and speaking are quite different...in others they are quite similar. I'm a college professor and I make my living, in part, by evaluating the writing and speaking of my students. I also teach online classes.

It is VERY difficult, if not impossible, for me or any other professor to make the judgments required to assign a grade for a student's knowledge without also considering their writing and/or speaking skills. The biggest difference between reading and hearing is that with reading, you don't get the verbal cues necessary to make concessions for people that are native speakers of a different language.

When I have a student in class, I can tell from his or her spoken word that he or she recently learned English. I can hear a foreign accent and I can see facial expressions that indicate they are struggling to mentally translate words. With that knowledge, it is easier for me to overlook significant writing errors when I evaluate their written assignments. In my online classes, I don't have these cues. In some cases, I can tell that a student isn't a native English speaker because of consistent grammatical errors (for example, native Chinese speakers consistently leave out "filler words" (and, of, a, the, etc...) and native Spanish/French speakers organize sentences consistently with their native grammar in terms of subject/verb/adjective placement (creating grammar errors in English)).

Perhaps it would help if you remember to mention that you aren't a native speaker of a particular language when you're writing in that language. Some people will still disrespect you for making writing mistakes but ignore them...most of them do the same things to other people for other reasons. Some people, myself included, can and do respect people that attempt to learn another language.

Answer 2

Indeed. I agree. There are many new people on Answers who are trying so very hard to communicate with us. They often spell words wrong and they are told to get an education. A lot of these people ARE educated, but in their OWN language. They are reaching out, trying to become a part of our lives, stretching out a hand in friendship. We should all be kinder to those who struggle and work so hard to be heard.

Answer 3

people can fake confidence better by words on a page with great time of thought then what comes to mind in person face to face and one that actually believes in what they say.

People still read what they want to read and go between the lines and twist so much words that they are not between the lines anymore , they are totally off the page.

Answer 4

Well, you need a little more practice. Perhaps having an English dictionary at hand would help. Either English is not your first language or you completely slept through school. Either way, you're barely understandable.

Why is writing different than speaking...Sometimes it is good to look up spelling in the dictionary. Just a suggestion.

See the button that says "Check Spelling?" Using it would make you, well, a little more coherent. Then find a good grammar book, and a logic book, and....
