1. I'm free to choose who or what I want to reply to. Also, it's not either/or: I could have replied to both of you or neither of you.
2. The other anon annoyed me and yet bored me at the same time. They expressed an off-topic opinion, but they did it in a short comment, which somehow didn't prompt me to reply to them.
3. I was much more annoyed by the factual mistakes you made. You listed mistakes that ESLs do not typically make, and that annoyed me very much because I've heard far too often the old refrain that goes "Sheesh, you guys, I know your ESL's, but u really need 2 learn the difference before waste and waist! I shouldn't of to read you're fic a loud to understand it!" when in fact, it's typically native speakers who make those mistakes. We ESLs get blamed for most of the badly-written fics out there, when in fact most of those fics are written by native speakers, and that pisses me off.
So... I guess you were just unlucky?

(Anonymous) 2011-10-25 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)2. Meh. No response here.
3. Again. Talking about basic English. I never said that I thought those were errors ESLs alone make. I just said that the key point to communication is caring to be clear about one's thoughts. In truth, I couldn't come up with a better example because it was early morning for me, and as such, yes, I do admit that everyone in general should know how to put a period at the end of a sentence. However, I wasn't trying to name examples of errors ESLs make but instead failures to write in basic English, period. (Is that what was so unclear? Because that's basically what I've been trying to get across here, really: the fact that you were focusing on only one detail of my post that actually wasn't my main argument.)
