*This topic has been split from another.*

Some x posts back I told why I don't do any sort of e-trade.

Nah... I have BGs.

I love people who are scared of trading online.

Touché, don't use such verbs before you recall what we were talking about in the past. But replacing the verb with something more proper, I'd probably tell the same if I lived in UK/US.

Heh, thanks J, but I would decline that offer, because the shipping itself is a problem. I haven't believed stories about how the things are being held on the borderline for months until it just happened to me.

Somewhere in May 2006 I ordered a simple book from Germany. In Bulgaria I gave cache and the transaction has been done for me. The book has not arrived, but I didn't bother since the money wasn't big. Now, in July 2007 the book arrived. Unpacked, dirty, some pages missing.. well, the book was totally destroyed. And I haven't found neither anybody to complain to about that nor the fucker (who was probably using its pages as toilet paper) to rape his ass (With a condom, of course. I don't want to get any disease.).

So, I hope all of you get it: I am fucking ALLERGIC on all sorts of trade where I can't first have my paws on a thing I purchase before I pay it.

Man, I love reading your posts. Do me a Favour, don't ever completely learn the English language! Ok? It makes this forum so much better to read what you put and try to translate it in to English. I'm being serious, I love the way you write, I'm not trying to sound nasty! I really do like it!

Damn what I screwed now...

Heh.. this topic needs a split. I'll probably do that, but first I'd ask you, Sat, and everyone else: have you thought about what is actually making *my* English hard to follow? If that's the grammar in general, then I'm screwed. If that are some grammar finesses, there is some hope. But if that's the style I'm using, there's no help.

I'd say primarily it's "grammar finesses", as you say. You structure sentences in ways that aren't entirely natural... that's probably the biggest thing. However, it's improving. I have no doubt you'll be fully understandable in a few short decades. Honestly you're fine, it's just interesting. And at your current rate of improvement I'm willing to bet you'll sound like a native speaker in a year or two.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much G.

I can always figure out what your saying, nearly first time every time. Just once in a while I have to read it over or think about it for a second or two just to 'latch on' to what you are saying.

I suck at grammar too, but lets take what you said



And type it out how I'd say it. Just before I do, I'd like to say that this is more than likely not correct, because I generally type how I talk.

Anyway, let's give it a shot.

Sometime in May 2006, I ordered a book from Germany. I sent the cash and completed the transaction. The book did not arrive, but I wasn't that bothered since it was only a small amount of cash that I'd paid. However, now (July 2007) the book has turned up. I unpacked it to find that it was dirty and damaged with pages missing. The book was completely destroyed. I can't find who to complain too or the fucker (who was probably using the pages as toilet paper) to give him a jolly good rogering, of course, using a condom.

Sorry, I had to put some brit-spin in there! hehe

I don't really think there's a problem. It's just the structure you're used to is different to ours.

The same what that "Half Seven" over here, means 7:30, but in Germany, Halb Sieben means 6:30
