help requested, please

[Woz]

 :sak:Hi mates. As some of you know I have a review blog and I try to do it bilingual. Today one of my readers commented my grammar was poor, I switched tenses and misspelled words in English. Well, I'd love to do better, but I just can not find my mistakes myself. I will link the review he commented on here, please help me find.

First of all, English is not my mother tongue, I speak Dutch (and some English/French/German, far from perfect, but enough to help myself when I'm abroad ) ...

I've read your review a couple of times now and I can't seem to find any mistakes, nice to read and easy to understand what you're saying about the "linerlock problem".  Like I said, my English is far from perfect but I don't have any problems reading and understanding your review.

By the way, great blog you have there, I've already added it to "my favorites"  .

This is just the first thing that I caught. I will read through and see what else I can find.

There is more but it will take some time to re write. I will do it later if I get a chance.

You really don't have too much to worry about Woz. I understood everything you were trying to say, and you speak English far better than a lot of English people I know

I do agree that it can be understood fine.

[Mr. Whippy]

woz,

Your reviews are absolutely fine.  Yes, there are some grammatical errors in them, but honestly, anyone making that sort of comment in a blog is just a pedant.

Good read woz,  no complains from the danish guy..

There are a considerable number of English speaking people on the internet who cannot spell correctly and their grammar is horrendous (including me) or they intentionally use slang on their blogs.  I didn't find one single item that was worth a comment.  It's your blog, feel free to be unapologetic about your review or English.  Constructive criticism should be welcome.  Mindless commentary can be ignored.  You're doing well.

When I follow a blog or review about a knife or multi, I'm much more interested in the commentary about it, the fit, the finish, the feel, weight, etc.

It's a great review and I'm already wanting one. 

[captain spaulding]

Well Jeez I feel like an ass for trying to help. 

[82brutus]

Nah, Capt, your comments were more constructive because you pointed out what could be changed.  A blanket comment along the lines of "your grammar sucks" is just too generic and unhelpful and it makes more sense to ignore them.

Like many have said your grammar may be a bit off but it is still very easy to understand exactly what you are saying so no worries.

Ask the guy how's his German, and to kindly piss off.

Really though, it reads fine to me, better than what some native English speakers write.
