Forgot a few more White Knight, I started to take a conversation course [Conversation Course is a proper noun because it specifies what course you took and where] at an American foundation[Foundation is also proper] here[as White Knight pointed out, we do not know where "here is], and honestly I was so proud today [ A person cannot be "honestly proud;" either you are proud or not. A modifier error], I felt so advanced and superior to the rest of the class lol [another modifier error, "advance and superior" as adjectives do not modify a noun. You attempt to modify "i" but failed]. Thank you OT [comma here because of the introductory phrase] for nearly making me wetting [wetting, really?] my pants if I wrote something wrong [entire sentence is a fragment; notice the sentence contains no main clause]. And as a gift, [Dangling Modifier, no subject following the phrase "And" as a gift"] put this in your sig if you want to: [Last error is a punctuation error. The word "to" is used either a preposition or a helping verb; in this case, the word "to" is used as preposition. A colon cannot be preceded by a preposition--ever]. -Ruckus, Rhetoric and Composition Teacher/Professional Editor/Game article writer. P.S. If you do not have understand of grammar entirely, You have no right to correct anyone. IxIRuckusIxI

Format style is NOT a grammar error, idiot. know what is, though. Not capitalizing the first letter in "format;" also, I am correcting YOUR grammar not "others'". Oh, please explain what you're referring to when you mean "others;'" the omission of the noun, people, does not qualify as an understood subject in English. Here is an example of an understood subject (also known as an elliptical phrase): Get the milk. Subject, "you," is said to be understood.

Capitalizing the 1st letter in format isn't an error, but capitalizing the 1st letter of the 1st word in a sentence is.

^ I don't know if that makes any sense, but I want to argue with the intelligent people.

[QUOTE="GazaAli"]

I started to take a conversation course at an American foundation here (where is here?), and honestly I was so proud today. I felt so advanced and superior from the rest of the cIass lol.

Thank you OT for nearly making me wet my pants if I wrote something wrong.(hanging and) As a gift, put this in your sig if you want to:

Corrections in purple.

"superior from the rest of the cIass" I'm not an expert but that seems wrong.
