the thing that irritates me the most on this forum is the fact that people
tend to be happy when somebody happens to make a mistake. I would be
grateful for a hint and not for howls of derision. We are all learning
English and unless we are bilingual we will always make mistakes. I'm fed up
with people with inferiority complex or something. it's really good that you
can speak english fluently but ... what about being nice?
I just can get it.

Sis, (sister)
I am with you on that one.

[Gość: nina]

and I've made a mistake ...
what I wanted to say was "I can't get it" , of course.

I'm looking foreward for your reaction :)))

[Gość: Wojtek]

Wojtek is with you, sister.

Peace.

[Gość: nat]

And I say, 'if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen'. A little bit
of criticism does no harm, can be helpful and constructive. It also helps to
keep the size of some heads in check.

So what do ya' know? What heads are you taking about bro?
I am sure you do not mean all those "know-it-all, zit-faced" pilars of society
just overflowing with zeal to guide, to correct.....

[Gość: nat]

Oh, you took it so personally even though it was not aimed at you. Shame about
the zits 'bro'. Why oh why?

[Gość: ipfreely]

No shame about ZITS. I am ... well 29, lets say. My grip is slipping little by
little. Bro... I am not. You see I am missing certain appendage. You know what
I mean.
I could be your sister or mother - the latter more like it.

[Gość: nat]

haven't been so flattered for a long time, apendage or not. Incidentally, don't
have one either .. sis. The first misjudgement was yours then, though it's
really neither here nor there. Sadly, with you being 29ish it's me who would
have to step into maternal shoes. Oh my God!

and the world goes on. Heheheh. Indeed I took you for a guy ... sis!!!!
And about me being 29. I have been 29 for a loooong, loooong time and holding
but like I said my grip is slipping somewhat. There are those that believe
that I am 29 and those that cought on my game some years back.

[Gość: nat]

oh well, you must be doing something right as you manage to sound young. Any
advice for advancing geriatrics?

[Gość: hyde]

Me neither...I think it`s just our little polish hell and we can`t do a damn
thing about it. Just try to ignore it or you`ll get paranoid and loose your
temper...

Sarcasm and criticism are sooo veeery polish!! Check other forums. :-)))))

[Gość: nina]

I know tkat criticism can be constructive. but there are different forms of
criticism...
why is it so typical for us to to be so spiteful?

nina

[Gość: wacko jacko]

Come on it's the national thing. We just like to kick around.
It's like dog that can't stop barking. Leave it alone.
Relax, lean back and enjoy life.

[Gość: nat]

Spiteful? Don't think so. Just don't take yourself too seriously and you'll
have no cause for concern.

[Gość: nina]

I'm not taking myself seriously and I do enjoy life:))
Always look on the bright side of life....
I'm desperately optimistic but sometimes I seem so fregile when spitefulness
is concerned...:))
cheers

[Gość: nat]

Is it meant to be a mutual adoration society, with praise lavished on anyone
who makes even most ludicrous claims on linguistic expertise? Is it really a
shame to take aboard criticism and advice from those who just might know
better?

[Gość: sisi]

Yeah, nina. It seems that people read the posts just to find any mistakes in
them and make fun of the authors or show how better they are. I won't give
examples of nicks, but Wojtek looks like one of them. Shame.

[Gość: Wojtek]

And shamed I feel. Didn't mean to upset you. Sorry.

[Gość: sisi]

It's OK.
I didn't mean it either.

[Gość: Bert]

It seems that the Internet, at least for some people,
managed to make the art of being nice obsolete. Since
there is no face-to-face communication, the users feel
safe saying things they hopefully wouldn't dare to say to
someone in person. Strangely enough these are the same
species who seldom contribute a thought to the
conversation. My favorite bunch are those recycling
cliches to support whatever they are trying to say
because, as everyone knows, cliches sound smooth and make
them feel good. After all, cliches slice, dice, chop and
julienne at the same time and therefore never miss the point.
Nina, have faith.

[Gość: nina]

nat,
I'm just against RUDE comments about people's linguistic abilities.
and if you notice my mistakes please do let me know because this is a good way
of improving my skills. I won't take offence:))
