Oh and @cliffordcooley I've loved, and noticed, how you enjoy giving likes to people how are starting confrontations with me. Keep up the good back room "work"...(y)

If that was the case I'd be giving everyone likes.

Well, I should have added you do tend to zero in on the most acute instances. But, even I run out of ambition sometimes on length of post required to get my point across.

With that said, all the rest of posts which followed mine about "broken English", amounted to nothing more than criticism of me, with not one letter typed to try and correct the problem.

I figure helping someone, at least helps to excuse my behaviour, and just makes the rest of you sound lazy.

Now, you really should give this a like..You know, confrontation we me and all that......

BTW, your post #26 was a bit comical, so I gave it a like...

Democrats admit, they'll lose elections without their illegal voters. Hey TechSpot, you should steer clear of politics. It's a real weakness you have. Will you report on the Silicon Valley sex parties?

I'm well aware that hip-hop "music" is is at least partly responsible for destruction of our version of, "the queens English", and yes, that's caused by our native born "yoot" < (from "My Cousin Vinny").
I'm very well aware that English is a bi!ch to learn. I like to point out that, (joke coming), "we call it English, because every action is an "ing". Or a bit more lyrically, "everything ings in English". And FWIW, I have the worst trouble speaking Spanish, because the object pronouns are at the beginning of the sentence, instead of at the end of the sentence to whom that action has occurred .

That thought in mind, I'm going to make your reply "ing as it should":

You said, "I try very much to improving English". That would be better phrased as, "I am trying very hard to improve my English" You have the "progressive tense" and the "infinitive" form of the verbs reversed. That is somewhat typical of all the Romance languages, where the "state of being verb "is" (to exist) isn't used in compound with the action described in the "present progressive tense"..<(an action which is occurring and continuing).

You should have said, "I am trying very hard to improve my English".

Broken down that is, "I am trying" < the present progressive tense, "to improve" the infinitive form, and most importantly, we need the "MY", to indicate whose English you are trying to improve. Otherwise, without the "my", the sentence would suggest you are trying to improve English itself.

As for the rest of you, I fully expected the responses I receive to my post on the topic. This is because you're all so wrapped up in arguing about Trump.....oh wait......Where's all the crap about how, "this is a tech site" not a political site, "why is this guy always writing about politics" GOOD question, at least I certainly think so.

However, y'all don't want to seem to challenge my first hand observations on immigration, which was the bulk of the post.

Since this is a topic about immigration, I add my actual thoughts on Spanish immigrants. I'd much rather live with them, that the inner city African American youth I do. While the Hispanics are working their tails off, tearing down houses, (But yes, working cheaply, and in many to most cases without permit, to restore sheriff sale houses to Section 8 rental status for slumlords), our home grown "yoot" are passing out bags of crack and heroine 24/7, and deluding themselves into believing they're doing the world a favor. So maybe our "Prez" <(colloquialism) should construct walls around our ghettos, and leave the Mexican border alone.

Now, I tried to get staff to write an article about the Space-X launch of a top secret spy satellite, which was lost in the Indian ocean last weekend, with Elon Musk crowing about how, "our rocket did everything correctly". Oddly, they seem to have not been interested. Even more oddly, that is an actual tech topic, and not this political equine fecal matter.

Thank you Friend.
