Since there is already a German thread, I assumed that it would be a sensible idea to also create an English thread, especially since it is a more common language than German.
Any queries you have you can post here, and the rest of the community can help you out, plus you can also use to chat and so on and so forth.
I think I'll enjoy this thread as long as you don't get too fussy about my mistakes.

Puede que no sea el más indicado para corregir a nadie llevando sin utilizar el inglés escrito cosa de 6 años y es probable que se me empiece a olvidar hasta lo más básico, pero obviando las típicas faltas ortográficas está claro que ahí no podías utilizar el pasado del verbo escribir :P
De todas formas, cosas muy utilizadas que ahora recuerde:
cba/cbb - ya explicado
nvm = nevermind
omw = on my way
wtf/lol/rofl - estas las conoce todo dios xD
wb = welcome back
gtfo = get the fuck out (muy conocida también)
idd = indeed
ty --> yw = thank you --> your wellcome
afk = away from keyboard
asap = as soon as possible
atm = at the moment
pov = point of view
bbl = be back later
btw = by the way
cu/cya = despedirse (see you)
imo/imho = in my (honest/humble) opinion
gr8 = great
w/o - w/e = without - whatever
u2 = you too
np = no problem
idk = I don´t know
Por cierto, probablemente seguiré usando "´" porque ya se me van solos los dedos ahí casi sin querer... las raras veces que uso el inglés escrito en vez del oral es por algún juego y van a ser frases cortas llenas de acrónimos y abreviaturas chorra donde solo interesa decirlo todo lo antes posible :$
Y por escribir en un foro no voy a comenzar a utilizar un inglés menos coloquial del que habitualmente uso >_<

"I use to write" is incorrect. The correct expression would be "I usually write". "I'm used to writing" is also right, being the spanish equivalent something like "me he acostumbrado a escribir" or "estoy acostumbrado a escribir", and not "suelo escribir".

She isn't a friend of mine, she was in my class.This sentence is fine, the use of a contraction is in no way prohibited or changes the meaning of the sentence. Even in written text contractions are used.
-
So you can wait seated. This sentence is also fine. I translates as : Puedes esperar sentado.
You'd better take a seat and enjoy your wait. This tranlates as: Mejor sientate y disfruta tu espera. Whilst (or while, for some of you, both words have exactly the same meaning, whilst being older and more literary) both sentences are correct, I don't think that mine necessarily needed correcting.

English is not a language on its own, its a creole. A totum revolutum, not worthy of consideration in arts and literacy. Its importance is caused from political events rather than cultural ones.
And, just as an addendum, i felt this thread pointless since the begining, that's why i put all this out.

Everyone, please, abandon this thread and go to the music forum to vote in the song championship. Every vote counts, and all of your votes are needed to make it the huge championship it deserves to be.
Oh, I almost forgot, english voting is allowed, but only if you include also your vote in spanish so everyone can read it.
Thanks a lot for your time.
:lol:
I have already voted.
The place is crowded with fucking heavy fanboys voting all their noisy heavy songs with more than 90, making it a heavy-only championship.
And that's not cool, we need more music preferences represented.
There's a big bunch of non-heavy songs. And it's not like Cowboys From Hell is winning 50-90 or something, in fact, last time I checked it was winning by 10 points.
They don't need to know that, man. You're ruining my attempt to make them vote. It's for the good of the championship, I really don't care that much.

I sais that, except you're bilingual, you can't do that. No one of us, except me, is bilingual (but in my case is French-Spanish). So, I can't, you can't, no one of us in this forum can't.
I'm trilingual baby, English-Spanish-German. I CAN think in all three languages.
I though so. Anytime anyone tells about something, always someone comes and has more stuff about that than you already stated.
Why i'm not surprised at all...whatever, is very strange than being trilingual, all your statements are examples of castillian translated into english.
Someone's lying :whistle:
My father is British.
And, I have lived in England for four years, have done there my GCSE (General Certificate for Secondary Education) my A-levels, and I have a place reserved at Lancaster University to study Natural Science. Do you also want me to show you my British passport?
I did also get As in my English Language and English Literature GCSEs. So I think maybe you shouldn't question my English.
Someone's cornered. :gaficas:
@Sand: Everybody is smarter than Elmo.
Hey, is not me who has to explain then why a british native speaks like a spanish student...
anyway, the fact remains. English is a creole language, not a pure language in its own.
P.S. Plus, is very strange too than a former british even unkwons the origins of his language, having in mind that is something studied in primary schools.
Strange enough, don't you think?

I did History GCSE. I studied WWII, the Cold War, the Vietnam war, something else that I can't recall right now, and the Bliztkrieg for a piece of coursework.
I did not study British history, because I WASN'T in England during my primary school years. I also do not know Spanish history, yet I can also speak Spanish, and technically am (or have the right to be) Spanish, and I don't know very much about German history, yet I AM and have always been, German.
For your information, since you haven't figured it out, I finished the ESO (Educación Secundaria Obligatoria) and England, and did there Bachillerato. I did not do History A-lavels.
The fact remains, there are no living pure languages. Not even your beloved French.
Gilles, take a look at any spanish primary school kid and you wont find it strange anymore.
In fact, we know more about "catalan" language than we do about spanish.

It's called sarcasm. Something that real englishman around the world do. BTW, it was to point out your true dominance of the language, sincelery.
By the way, i'm not bilingual, but i'm able to think and dream in german and italian. I also used to think in english many years ago, but my level is a little rusty, i'm afraid.
Calabria stated early on this thread the difference between a though translation and a direct though...innately you translate and then re-translate into your mother language to verify its finesse and accuracy in the other language.
I think this thread should be renamed to "the smartass thread" to make the title more "accurate" and ensure everyone knows what they're gonna find inside.
Who's with me?
You better don't try to give me filological lessons. Thanks.
Of course it's not the same to say "hey, i'm going to think in german!" as to do it spontaneously. But not-bilingual speakers are able to do it.

But not all the time, in every single way. A bilingual could do. A person with some kwoledge on the language in question could do some statements de facto, but couldn't speak at all without making mistakes at the morphology and the sintaxis.
Anyway, every western language can be spoken with barely a thousand words, so it really doesn't matter.

It was not me, but a little girl with an outrageous accent called ---, who was happy and wrongly believing that she will find the water of the eternal youth. Fortunately, as she grew and her innocence was lost
by pedobear by her own silly thoughts - though she had always blamed on a purely and chaste boy -, she finally came to know that she will not ever become a little young girl, and will remain old and wrinkled like the witch - others prefered to refer her as a goose - she is instead.
1. I am not a witch.
2. If you are pure and chaste is because you have not other option.
3. My accent doesnt draw so much attention.

I know that. In fact, sometimes a word that begins with a vowel goes just with an a, like a University or a European. I was only hesitating if it was because of the next word or because the noun.
In Madrid we have a Belgic bar. I have never been there. :(

That's because these are not vowels but diphtongs, which kind of work like consonants.
Actually they aren't diphtongs, my bad :vergu: The first character would be /j/, which sounds like a vowel but is actually a consonant.

Last week I spent a few days in Gran Canaria. One day we found a pub with an impressive selection of imported beers (about 100, or something like that, which is pretty amazing for Gran Canaria). They had Duvel and Rochefort 10 *.* and also they gave me a free sample bottle of Viva!, a self-made beer produced by a local microbrewery that was slightly better than spanish industrial trademarks (or even worse, canarian industrial trademarks xD)
Pingu, in Madrid, near Bilbao, we have a pub and an international beer store. Thanks to that small store I could finally taste american beers (like flying dog, although it was a little bit stronger than I would have liked :lol: )
Duvel is awesome.
By the way, I've been reading the whole thread, and I must say I kind of miss these arguments involving Gilles :gñe:
:lol:
For me the best are Duvel, Piraat and Kwak. Maybe Belzebuth too, but I have tried it just once.
Hoegaarden Forbidden Fruit, Charles Quint, Delirium Tremens? These are great too.
Has anyone tried Samichlaus? They have it in the S. Familia bar I mentioned, and it's supposed to be hardcore shit (14% alcohol). But I'm not so sure about getting it because I once tasted a 12% beer and it was fucking gross, didn't even taste like beer.
I don't like Delirium Tremens that much, but I have heard a lot of great shit about Hoegaarden Forbidden Fruit too.

It's really difficult to find in Madrid, but you shouldn't have any problem in Barna. It's a low-alcohol beer (around 2% or so), but very, very tasty. If you want to drink beer without getting drunk and avoiding those 0,0% shits, it's a really nice choice.

No, seriously, I think that the actual problem with the British people is that their beers are awful (same level as loads of the Spanish ones) and therefore when they drink beer they get drunk so easy. Same thing with Japanese and their sake. It's not that strong, but they take a shot and they're drunk enough to nose-bleed. :lol:
That may be true regarding to british lagers, but their porters are pretty good. I find imperial porters particularly tasty.

I think that comes from the latin verb "capio". Is the same root for the italian verb "capire" (capisci?) and some spanish words (capturar, for example).
Actually...
The word "cop" means: "constable on patrol"
a constable is an official responsible for community and security services. He's the jurisdiction in counties and can have the roll of charge penalty's to the law breakers. They can be find specially in patrols on the way.

If you want to build a future form, then the correct way to do it is "will + infinitive". For example:
Citar
I will download it...
You can use the gerund as a noun, being object of the verb, but then you need a main verb for the action. In this case, the verb that will fit better, is "start":
Citar
I will start downloading it...
I must thank Start Trek The Original Series for teaching me english during my childhood.

To add the inmediate future form to the present continuous you need to add the "action", for example "I'm going to download it". You're not downloading it at this moment, but you will download it in a near future.
I'm sorry, I didn't notice that this was "forochat".... I thought that it was to practice the written language. Sorry again.
Well, who says you can't practice while doing "forochat"? The mere act of doing it in English involes practicing.

From my english book:
Citar
The present continuous is used to talk about future arrangements wich have already been made. Example: Sue and Alan are getting married on June 21st
You can say that download something it's not exactly an arrangement, but the present continuous it's a correct form to express future in some situations.
I think that you only can use the ing when is an arrangement (for example: We're meeting this night) but not in other cases.

Take a look to my previous post, and to your post. I talk about the difference of using the present progressive with an action verb and without an action verb, and you present me your example with an "action", as I told before.
You will notice the difference between these two phrases:
- "I'm fucking you in the butt": I started to fuck your anus a moment ago, i'm actually fucking your anus, and I will be fucking your anus in the future until I cum. This is present continuous, is actually happening and it will be happening during a little time until a near future.
- "I'm going to fuck you in the butt": I'm not fucking your anus. But prepare, it will be right now. This is the future form, with the action.
Hi! :vergu: I want to practice my english but I'm scared because I don't write (or practice) english al least for four or five years :vergu:
Well, english is not as scary as you are depicting it. English may be worrying, but it is not a halloween monster to scare you.
Edited. I was mistaken.
Bill, just a thing: "actually" is a false friend: it doesn't mean "actualmente" (which would be translated as "currently"), it means "de hecho" or "realmente".

To add the immediate future form to the present continuous you need to add the "action"
Or just the when. That is, it is possible to say "I'm fucking you in the anus tomorrow". Not normal (maybe even a little "slangy"), but used, specially in nowadays speech, and that would not mean "I have already started , but I will continue tomorrow", but "Tomorrow, at some point of the day, I will be doing it, definitely". The thing is that, as Vande posted, it has to be kind of arranged. And it is definitely much more part of American dialect than British one.
(It is a) Good thing they don't have a regulating linguistic academy as Spanish does, and instead they work on corpora in order to analyze English as a whole, so it evolves unrestricted. :gñe:
Cita de: Bill en 05 de Noviembre de 2012, 13:30
To add the inmediate
Immediate, immigrant, immerse, immature, etc. The prefix is correct, but it undergoes a process of assimilation, thus the same morpheme ends up being represented by a different morph (allomorphy: different realizations of the same morpheme).

Well, it is a well-proved fact that when you read or hear about any squad in English, automatically the 60's TV show penetrates your hippothalamic networks and stimulates your neocortex, inducing a hearing-like stimulus that goes "nananananananana". The thing after the last na is indifferent.

What do you think about the syntax of the next sentence?
"This could explain why the reader –who in this case it is me myself, even though I am no native –could find his text slightly difficult to read"
I am unsure of whether it sounds too strange or not, taking into account that it is for an academic review.
"who in this case it is me myself"
This sounds weird. At the very least I'd get rid of the pronoun "it", it's redundant.
I'd say something like "This could explain why the reader –that is/that is to say, myself..." and maybe drop the "myself" and go third person ("the author of this essay" and shit like that), since formal writing is not supposed to be in first person.
But maybe it doesn't have to be super formal like that so dunno.
<3
"Me myself" is ok? I googled a little and only found references about movies or so meaning a kind of egocentric expression.
"This could explain why the reader –who in this case it is me myself, even though I am no native –could find his text slightly difficult to read"
Unless it is extremely important who the reader is, I'd get rid of the explanatory note:
"This could explain why one could find his text slightly difficult to read".
The "could" already provides enough room for the statement to be understood as a possibility, not as a certainty. Also, the repetition of "could" may be bypassed by using "might" (although I would go further and not write it), thus:
"This (might) explain(s) why one could find his text slightly difficult to read" .
Also, I assume that your intention is to clarify that the text is not really elaborated but that it has some insights or stuff like that. If that is not your idea, I'd do either:
"This explains why one could find the text slightly difficult" (you're assuming thus that "one" is not obviously the author).
or:
"This explains why one could find the/its reading slightly difficult" (hence clarifying that one is the reader).
If you really want to get rid of everything vaguely superfluous:
"This (could/might) explain(s) why its/the reading might/could be slightly difficult".
If you want to use another verb that already has the idea of not being fully bulletproof, I'd use "This makes clearer why..."
It is important to get to the point ASAP. Journals (and committees, for what is worth) are pretty straight-forward on not letting any extra-wording into their pages.
Hope I've been helpful! ^^:

1- Given the fact that the previous literary approaches are based in a common myth that this thesis rejects in its foundation, that objectivization of the studies comes from letting time pass between the opus and the criticism, its debunking requires a critical approach that either merges in a dialectical way different literary and philosophical criticisms or creates a new one, always from an interdisciplinar perspective. This does not interfere with traditional criticism inasmuch as it fulfills a different role, in fact working concurrently with it in the understanding of Literature. Thus, by reducing the concept of analysis to its primeval form, where there is only a need of student subject and studied object, a parallel branch to literary criticism grows, where spatiology plays the main role.
2- Cultural construction analysis in the shape of sociology and psychology conjoined, opposed to traditional literary criticism, includes among its theories enough background to support the previous postulation. Thus, in order to provide the necessary theoretical background to defend the philosophical frame within which this thesis appears, Contemporary cultural production must be at the core of it, as well as an interdisciplinar understanding of cultural thinking.
