More carefulness will help English Corner more

I found there exist so many mistakes here, many of them were caused by carelessness , I would suggest everybody pay more attention to spelling and following the basic grammar, otherwise these mistakes can mislead our kids if they look through this website.

I completely agree with you.
This is a place for the Mums and Dads to communicate in English and to gain the confidence. Even the native speakers make mistakes. But we know in nine cases out of ten one couldn't improve if he never learns from his mistakes. Meanwhile, I think the problem is we don't have a native speaker to point out our mistakes. I wouldn't mind people spell wrong but it is not suitable for children. So I suggest not to let children read posters here.
Indeed I am quite of your opinion. We ought to mind our spellings and silly mistakes.

I am not a perfectionist,
and I am not a native English speaker, like it or not.and I will never ever be a native English speaker, no matter how close it will be after years and years endeavor on English learning.
I can not guarantee a hundred percent that my paragraph are mistake-free from both grammar and spelling perspective.
and make sure my paragraph are genuin euough not to misleading kids to bad Chinglish.
the standare is wee bit too high for me.
should I zip my mouth in order not to make mistake?

I  am not deliberately picking your typo, but here in this sentence "But they would not like to psend lots of time to correct our mistakes that we are making....",it is obviously that you have miss-typed the word "spend",
I am not saying that the spelling is a problem, I just feel that, technically, we are human being, we are prone to all sorts of mistake, is that really a big problem?
some people said, lauguage is for communication, mistake should always be the second focus not the first..

That will be a big favor to all of us.
From my feeling, when I read an English sentence, I will just use my intuition to see whether I could understand it or not, I don't really check out it from a grammar book.
for example, in your sentence, "Sure,its not problem", I would just feel it could be better to say "Sure,its not a problem", for me, the artical word "a" is just an intuitive.
another example "I said i want invite some native English speakers ", I would feel  it could be better to say "I said i want to invite some native English speakers ", to add the preposition "to", is just from the feeling as well.
just to cite a few,
therefore, I am really doubting that :"is the grammar that important", or it may just foster from practice?
I am not an English educator, but I do doubt the way of learning English through grammar. or paying too much attention on the spelling..

[em07]  I know i made tons of mistakes here..

Take it easy, you know the old saying "practice makes it perfect", if you don't even practice it, you will never move into a right direction.
But I do feel, to be more cautious about the spelling is harmless, since it is a problem that you may have to face eventually.
so,Don't stumble your pace of practice, and try your best on the grammar and spelling.

I quite agree with you, “Practice makes it perfect”. we need to continual learning and improving our English ability, but first, practice and more practice is necessary..

Have read all the posters you guys wrote here, I suggest first of all what we could do is checking our lines to make sure they make sense before clicking enter. We don't have to stick on grammar or spelling. But I think our writing can be understood is quite important.
