I'm here to practice my English.
Language-wise the quality of posts here is much better than what I would get on reddit, fb or similar.
Not sure if this counts, but it's a major reason why I visit this site daily.
- anvemaha 6y agoSeconded. I'm taking a professional reporting course at my uni and I feel like lurking here has paid off at least a little bit.
- tim333 6y agoIt's an odd feature of the thing - I'm a native English speaker so I'm ok with that but getting upvotes / downvotes is quite good practice for improving your writing, I've found.
- graeme 6y agoYes that’s actually how I got my start in writing. I had a travel blog back in 2007-08 and would post entries to Facebook. I gauged writing effectively by comments and rapidly improved my style. Ended up starting a writing focussed business. Don’t think I could have done it without frequent and rapid feedback. Your comment made me realize this is probably why I keep writing comments. It is constant, precise feedback on my skill in what I do.
