My bad experience from Qatar living.

expnad
By expnad

 

I posted a forum topic in Qatar living, and I am not a native English speaker. I had done some spelling mistakes. Some narrow minded users catch on that point and behind me to suck my blood at last I deleted that forum.

I expected some support from users instead of sharp criticism; I won’t think making a spelling mistake is a punishable offence in Qatar. One user told I wasted the space hope I didn’t posted anything on her bedroom wall.

 

Some, those who don’t have there own quality will try to take advantage from others mistakes. It’s a basic principle.

unfortunately it has been like this ever since i was member in QL.

all you need to do is not to complain. defend your cause even with your language if you are not comfortable with english.

Hey Expand…. Take it easy dude….

Who on earth in QL is willing to be an English professor at Hayward University, the only thing required to reply a post is to understand the content and the intention of the poster, but on QL making fun out of such small things is just a ridicules habit of some inhumane Qlers I have noticed in my recent past experience on the website….

And who says u are bad at English???? Don’t ever say this again…

Someone’s pinning in you has not to become your reality…

Cheer up dude… and say this with conviction “I’m the Best”

I think what the thing is here, and this is my opinion,.....that sometimes people just don't get sarcasm or ascerbic humour and wit and take themselves very seriously.......how tedious to be like that? This forum is quite light compared to some!!

I can see what you mean, some people do get hung up on spelling mistakes, next thing you will be asked to submit your Degree before you can post on QL..I actually envy all the non native English speakers who contribute, its very imppressive.

Sometimes we all make mistakes because we post in a hurry, not because of our English....Dont take it too serious though, just keep posting...

Oh dear, sorry to hear about your previous thread and the problems you had to endure with certain QLers. Don't worry, take it in your stride.

If there is anything positive that has come out from your previous experience, THIS thread of yours is indeed proving a success and proves that there a many caring people in QL !

OK, try then somthing short...like phone calls!

I personally don't have a problem with talking while on the toilet or talking with someone else while they're on the toilet, but it's kind of annoying when a person doing this is making straining sounds, grunting sounds, and magnifies the relief "ahhhh" sound after the plop plop fizz fizz.

Those things I can do without - most phone have mute capability - people should use it.

I ALWAYS read on the loo! Find it a nice distraction, often i'll read to the end of a chapter even when i'm done, and i really have to make myself put a magazine down if i'm enjoying reading it. it's just nice to read uninterrupted doing my business haha!!

And for you Spicemon,you should start going in there for 1/2 an hours peace at the childrens bedtime. You'll just sit there enjoying the peace and not being involved with anything.

I am not super sensitive. It should not happen to the other new comer’s that’s why I grab others attention to this issue.

I believe in give respect and take respect. Hope no one is 100% perfect here. I believe the communities like QL stands to help each others not to criticize member’s mistakes. If you can’t help others just keep quite at least.

Spice mom I never request you to post on my forum, posting comments or not posting is up to you no one will compel for that.

Expnad... I was about to give my comments but when I submitted it... It prompted ACCESS DENIED... Anyway, I dont see their line of questioning... between BOSE and BOSS. Its pretty obvious what you are referring to the context of the thread. Did they ask the person from a fast food chain when they posted a billboard along Al Sadd Road Fish "Filet"?

We are all humans and we are entitled to commit mistakes. Nobody in this world is perfect. Cheer up dude!

really sorry to hear it... i also hate when people start catching on that... there is only a little part of the QL community who are native english speakers (by the way, even those ones make a LOT of mistakes trust me!!! which is really a shame).. but for most of the guys here english is the second, third, even FORTH (like for myself) language.. we really have to be more tolerant to new comers.. please post your topic agan. may be we can help you this time.

sorry on behalf of everybody...
