Be safe everyone!
I don't think the word "devastating" is a verb.
ReplyDeletebooya!
ReplyDeleteIsn't devastating used as a verb, present-progressive form of the word devastate?
ReplyDeleteThis is admin.
ReplyDeletePlease concentrate on the message of the article.
i'm not an english major.
i'll consult some expert and will correct this if im wrong. thanks for the inputs.
Ang daming feeling grammar Nazis dito. Wla naman mcydong mali sa grammar nya. Wala lang linking verb na "is" between now and currently. But in my opinion, the content of the article is far more important.. >_<
ReplyDeleteThe gist of the article far outweighs the grammatical errors themselves... though it really helps a lot to construct your sentences in a correct manner so as not to incite criticisms from "perfect" people... ^_^ by the way, its "full-fledged" and not "full-pledged"... peace! ^_^
ReplyDeleteWoops, I think it's time to edit this.
ReplyDeletecorrection for "is" and "full-fledged" has been made.
so it's full-fledged, i had already used full pledged a lot, haha!
thanks really and apology.
anything else?
apologies
ReplyDeleteYes, you say it as apologies
ReplyDeletepatawad =)
ReplyDeletehahaha...
ReplyDeleteang hirap pag-madaming critics, try nyomakipag usap sa mga Chinese, sobrang daming grammatical errors nila hahaha but I don't mind, kc maiintindihan mo rin sila.
eto sample hehehe
ReplyDelete"I think you must be slept now, sweet dream! Thank you very much! you are very kind.
I hope I can get the chance to cooperate with you! Any question you can ask me.please keep touching each other. I am looking forward to your reply! Please tell me as soon as possible. Thanks! Best regard!" - a Chinese business representative
Dear Akoy Pinoy,
ReplyDeleteYou need not be an english major to compose properly structured sentences. Please do not use that as an excuse for numerous errors in your communication skills. We appreciate your effort in trying to apply corrections now but you can surely prevent that from the getgo.
Given the responsibility you have to relay vital information to those reading this report, it is your duty to ensure accuracy in your message. Please edit, or ask someone else to do it for you, prior to posting your messages. That will save us from this hassle of getting distracted by errors.
Nobody here is asking for perfection, we ask that you show some care for the important work you do. We are relying on you to give us info we can understand to help us prepare our lives around these volatile weather conditions.

ReplyDeletethank you too.
hope this post had helped you guys...
'Cmon guys I'm sure that the admin is trying to show the importance of the CONTENT by publishing it asap. It does not necessarily mean that s/he does not care about his work/s.
ReplyDeleteThough I think we should all give him credit for taking all the criticsms ina constructive manner. Good job! Let's not give an impression to people that we are "perfect". Just a thought, the old saying goes, "practice makes perfect" I prefer to put (in this case write) it this way, "practice makes things permanent".

ang aarte nyo! ano gusto nyo? mali ung grammar o mali ung forcast? mga pesteng inglisero!!
