Spelling mistakes in NS

I didn't know where to post this, but I decided to put it in technical because I thought it belonged in this path of the forum.
I come from one of those countries that don't have English as mother language. Therefor I ain't so good writing English. And sometimes I have problems being understood. I know that I ain't the only one in Ns with this problem so therefor I post this. Even if I spell check the text word by word it comes some mistakes. And when it do, there are always someone that comments it. Plz don't. We know that we don't are the greates English writers but we do our best.

Is it just me, or does this seem like a person just pretending not to know how to write english? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it looks suspicious.

It's a comment that he is sick of people making fun of his spelling mistakes. Tough luck dude. It's too fun.

Allow me to chuck something in,
I am myself from Norway, from the same neighbourhood in fact. I'm currently an exchange-student in Wales, and my English has thererfore greatly improved. But Hjoernevik sheds light on an important issue, people always critisize. Though I don't agree with the average "OMFG I laush 164736.465356.4569_90t88 nukz at de woorrld I Rbest yu lozr" I feel that people kill everyone who makes a mistake in the forums. I think too many people have never even considered that english might not be their first language, NS is not restricted to the US, the land of "freedom".
How many NS players have never even tried speaking another language? How many are restricted to "aye-caramba" or "mamma mia" or swearwords in french? They should cut people some slack.........
This is all nonsense, but it is nonsense as I have foreseen it....

Estoy de acuerdo con Rebel Grots y Hjornevik. Demasiado personas critican el deletreo. Personas hacen errores, y está significa nada de su inteligencia, especialmente si no están de una país que habla inglés. Yo sé que mi español es así así, pero créo que está bastante bien para comunicar.
Los critiqués del deletreo hacen nada para sus puntas y parecen muy estúpido a los otros jugadores de NS.
I agree with Rebel Grots y Hjornvik. Too many people criticize spelling. People make mistakes, and it doesn't mean anything about their intelligence, especially if they aren't from a nation which speaks English. I know that my Spanish is only OK, but I believe that it is good enough to communicate.
The criticisms of spelling do nothing for your points, and look very stupid to the other players of NS.

most people only criticise spelling of other people when they are being n00bs or the like. I wouldnt criticise someones spelling on a serious post.
:twisted: :evil: As a twisted and evil despot I demand that everyone learns to spell in their own language. One REIGNS on a throne. One REINS IN public spending when it gets too much. Tut, tut! This can only end in tears.

If his English was or is so bad why is the firdt line of his message in perfect Engligh? No mistakes, yet as he continues to explain his issue he jumbles his words. I think it is a prank...

You shouldn't think bad of someone that easy. Maybe he had help with the text.

I too can make correct English lines although my English isn't perfect.

I want people too continue writing. This is a problem that needs to be written about. Maybe some day we can use it like a list for who can write and who can not.
