I watched movies in original English audio before I started to roam this English forum. I understood most of the time. I registered on ATS (but lost my first account due to a gmail deletion) but I had a hard time formulating my own thoughts.

Writing with an English penfriend helped a lot and writing here too. I got some help but I know I still have a lot of grammar mistakes left. Like all the tense-forms. Yawn, my OCD isn't strong enough and no one complained yet.

I can not judge myself if I am emphatic or not. Don't misjudge the amount of text I write, because type very fast. With all the chatting, my fingers now just do what I think and I think in English, when I converse in English. So the fingers just do it themselves. Except this red line notifies me I f up the vocabulary. The spell check really keeps me afloat here because I can change the word until it looks correct and it's not red underlined anymore. A real blessing for you all

Sometimes I can not remember and I am surprised that the text I revisited was not in the language I expected it to be. Vocally, I am a mess since I lisp I also never got the English tones correct. Railroad is a very funny word to me.

Because of US subtitles and computer games, I adopted the US-english and now I am stuck with using words from both english styles

Ah, yes indeed. Another one of your threads that blew my mind clear to Saturn. Who needs to make up wild conspiracy theories when the facts are even more unbelievable and bizarro the further one digs.

On the brighter side English is a secondary language for you and your certainly clearer than some American writing styles I have come across! Thankfully this site has some stellar writers so threads are almost always a breeze to read, but some sites threads are difficult to read through for me.

I can not judge myself if I am emphatic or not.

Just a heads up the word I used was empathetic not emphatic. Some definitions to broaden your vocabulary if your interested:
Emphatic - 1 : uttered with or marked by emphasis

Empathetic - involving, characterized by, or based on empathy

Empathy - the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner

This put a smile on my face reading this, I loved this whole paragraph it was very charming

Vocally, I am a mess since I lisp I also never got the English tones correct.

Just remember that what you see as an imperfection others may see as adorable, just saying :3

Well, lol that explains some misunderstandings I encountered here . I appreciate it very much!

The only thing I can say about this that since my senses are wired all together (Synesthesia), I always felt pain for others, could relate to their feelings if it's that. (ADD: this, one of many possible connections between senses, is called mirror-touch Synesthesia). Yes I am a social, sometimes awesome social awkward penguin

You know we heavy derail this thread? It means we are so much offtopic that ATS mods will soon step in and give us a spanking if we do not stop.

I do have a detached 3-stall garage so guess I better get busy. I'll start with building a faraday cage over it.🤔💥

Yep. Sometimes I like to fact check DJ out of curiosity, especially quotes, which often lead me down another path of research. Good Morgan quote.

Considering the heritage of certain organisations (and the reformation of others) we could well be in need of a new Nuremberg.



Thought this was another good one from Thomas Sowell.
