33rd Anniversary 7th July



>Again, I must say you should not look at every constructive criticism from
>a defensive posture. 

	I must now point that you have mentioned two times about grammar and 
typos since you have jumped into the net a week ago. The first time was good 
enough to point out such in view of suggestion or correction. I know that there
are some grammartical mistakes that were made by including me, but I could 
understand all messages that appeared in the net (I have been in this native
-speaking country for 2 yrs and 3 weeks). Of course, everyone in the net
is trying their best to deliver their message as clear as they can. Your second
time pointing again about grammar came across into my eyes as you are 
complaining about non-native writers in the net.

>As you know, the Internet has 20 million users. People can't see you but they 
>can see your writings and in the English-speaking world, people judge others
>by the way they speak, dress, and yes, write.

	Exactly, your good intention was very deeply understood by me in your 
very first posting about grammar. But your second posting again about it was 
telling me yours...........as you know. I hope you don't lie yourself. 

>All I'm telling you is at least to use the tools available to you to
>minimize the unnecessary typos. Why, Pres. Clinton could be reading
>BurmaNet news, for all I know. 

	Nobody wants to make a mistake if they can be perfect as you expect.
The people who like Pre. Clinton are ready to understand unintentional mestakes
such as grammar and typos especially made by non-native speakers. I didn't see
very serious mistake as far as this net's writings are concerned with the 
grammar.

>You really shouldn't be so defensive; this is all in good intentions.

	If you do in good intentions, then I must say I did with good intention
for you that you don't need to repeat again someone's mistake more than once 
for the sake of mistake-maker. If you do, then you are not pointing a mistake 
but complaining about a mistake.
