I wouldn't normally say anything, but since you said you are wanting to work on your English, I'll do some peer editing
Just a couple things:
-practice
- When you do punctuations in English, you add a space after them and before the next word. It makes it easier for others to read and separate your thoughts and ideas.
I'm certainly impressed though, your English at 14 is far better than my Chinese at 21
Welcome to the forum, you will make many friends here.
Your English is excellent by the way (BTW).
Welcome to the forums. Yes your English is good for a 14 year old, don't want to say that its excellent (for motivational reasons).
And as someone above me said, please use the spacebar after commas and other punctuation.
Orb, you playa.. made my laugh yet again 'Yes!' Haha

When you type with punctuations, use a space after the punctuation. A good way to learn this is to use Microsoft Word and see everything that's underlined green and red. Usually it comes with explanation.
That said and done, your written English is alright but from my understanding of Chinese English users, your spoken English will be more useful to get a good first impression. While I do advice reading of English materials from the standard package of magazines and newspapers (Reader's Digest, for one), learning to listen and speak the language will be more difficult. One thing I can suggest is to listen to English news broadcast from either Britain or the USA. Listen to the way they speak, and try to follow their tone. Inflection (the emphasis on which syllable to stress on) is another danger for non-native speakers. On a side note, training in music helps here because you know what to hear for
As a multi-linguist, I also caution against the use of translating words directly from one language to another. You will lose the grammatical structure and the nuances of the language when you do that. While it may get you started, the way English speakers speak English and the way non-English speakers speak English is different and almost immediately noticeable.
As someone who has helped a lot of non-English users get proficient with the language, I recommend several tools:
1. Google Translate <- translate major languages as well as the pronunciation.
2. Google Chrome <- highlight word, right-click, search!

Hi all, I wanted to come out to see if I could get some of your support. A few people in my school (including me) want to petition to see if we can get C++ too count as a foreign language credit. If you want to help out please sign the petition. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Cplusplus1/
Very good idea! They should do it in the UK.
Coding language is not a foreign language, you are still using english words to code. Making that count as a foreign language would only be detrimental to your own knowledge and show how lazy people really are. We learn foreign languages to help communicate with others, not to get easy credits in school.

Come on twitch... Vote Its still a language... Which to you (the persons) is foreign

I'm not arguing about usefulness I know programming languages are EXTREMELY useful
But my argument is that it shouldn't be counted as a foreign language because the only thing foreign about it is that fact that we are taking the current language that we have now and making it able to be read by a program that interprets the coding
I just believe that it shouldn't be considered a foreign language because like I said, it stands on the basis of the English language, nothing is changed, and every word still holds its original meaning, making it not foreign to us....unless of course English is not a language you are familiar with, in that case English should be considered a foreign language, not the programming that it is involved in.
Although don't let my view stop you from trying to get the petition signed, I just love a good debate
Why not Java as C++ is used in iPhone programming? LOLjk.
I'm sticking with twitch here. A language is medium of communication and literature, and since C++ doesn't have such qualities...
I'll elaborate further: As a medium of communication, it is very much derived from the most basic of programming languages, which is machine code. And since machine code itself is a means of instructing machines on how to perform certain tasks, it is disqualified as a means of communication, as it is a method oo conveying instruction instead. Additionally, since the machine is not sentient (last I checked, skynet is NOT self-aware, despite this article), therefore there is no communication, per se.
Additionally, you would be hard-pressed to find some form of literary achievement in terms using the language as a form of art, despite what programmers would like to say.
As much as I would like to encourage the uptake of knowledge in education systems, learning another language which you can really communicate with another human being is very important.
Besides, this is what I learned from linguistic school:
What do you call someone who can speak two languages?
Bilingual
What do you call someone who can speak three languages?
Trilingual
What do you call someone who can speak many languages?
Multilingual
What do you call someone who can speak one language?
American
And what do you call someone who is good at using his tongue?
A cunning linguist.
Crap, I just wrote a whole damn essay about this topic, and I pressed return by accident. But I agree with twitch.
Ok, so main points from what I wrote. stuff from wiki:
A programming language is an artificial language designed to express computations that can be performed by a machine, particularly a computer. Programming languages can be used to create programs that control the behavior of a machine, to express algorithms precisely, or as a mode of human communication.

'Cat' in spanish is 'gato', but in C++ you won't say 'cat' is 'cout<<"cat"<<endl;".
Learn a real language it'll help you in life some day.
I take C++, yes it's hard, but it's just English phrases put together to run as an algorithm that a computer can read.
Any questions, ask.
I can see where all of you are coming from....I speak Latin Spanish German Italian and Japanese, so trust me, I know the importance of real languages...just want more credits

How about this:
Work for it. Making effort should be easy.
I really want to learn a new language therefore I am searching for the ideal way to do it
and what better place is there than xda to ask!

so do you know any good place to begin? like any specific...
software
website
app
any other
Not sure how good rosetta stone is.
If you've got time and money, you can check out EF. I'm considering this as we speak.
Do you have a tablet, an iPad perhaps? There are a few "good" (never tested them myself ) apps for learning languages for a tablet.
My best bet is Google Translate. Although, it mixes up and messes up the words at times, it can actually be pretty effective.

But can it also learn you the grammar of a new language? I sometimes translate something from a foreign language to Dutch (just for the fun of it) and it doesn't make much sense most of the time....

Use Anki for Japanese, or so I've been told.
Best way to learn it is to uproot yourself and live there. Do not speak your own native language, only theirs and soon you'll get the nuances.

That is because in karnataka where I live we speak language called kannada.. its deepavali in Kannada.. but in Hindi which is national language they say it as Diwali... so south Indians call it deepavali.. north Indians know this festival as Diwali..

Instead of rillasciare 1000 rom with the exact same problems and correct them better .
100 release all with the same bug .
One who seeks to improve his phone is unstable and a good rom 5-10-15-20 . Namely lost days / weeks for nothing.
At least mentionate the real problems , instability , crashes , problems with applications , etc. .
Without a great job and this is true , moreover, for free and for this I thank you . But it would be better to say ALL the problems and not just a few. (crash , many applications do not go, spontaneous reboots , black screen , need to lower frequencies to arrive at noon with the battery problems with wifi / GPS / tethering / artifacts etc )
Obviously it is impossible to attain perfection because LG has abandoned this device and does not release drivers blobs etc. .
Sorry for English, use google translator. I REPEAT before making silly and unnecessary comments read to cherry .

Are you sure it is not you the one who needs learning to Read?
Since you are not able to explain a simple thought without the aid of Google translator (which does a very bad Job), I doubt if you can understand anything in this forum.
I've been here for many years Now, and I have never seen anyone's rights denied, unless that one was not abusing of them.
Therefore, I believe it is you who should stop acting like a baby, and please, avoid shouting and whining. If you Read some more you will see that you are the only one in this forum acting like this, and your behaviour is embarassing for those who are born in your same country.

huh...what to say on post like this?!?
...first of all BIG THANKS to all our developers who selflessly and patiently use their knowledge to make something better for us!
...secondly: if you READ you'll found out everything you want to know about every rom/kernel/app...
...third: you are very ungrateful

c'mon people...what are we talking about here? I thing that this post is a big slap in the face to all our devs/mods/admins...

Its funny how he mentions every time that he just want to improve the bugged ROMs, but instead does nothing but flaming against developers which do a awesome job over here. I said it once in a PM here another time: if you don't like the ROMs and if you don't want to contribute in anyway but instead just state that they are bugged you're not welcome in this community. If such behaviour is accepted in the Italian forum please get back there and leave us here with our "bugged" and "useless" ROMs
EDIT: And our nice mod laufersteppenwolf said it on your first post and he will close this one as well as you're breaking the rules. You're an ignorant person and I hope you'll get banned.

Don't give me BS about freedom of speech.I'm from turkey.Twitter blocked, youtube blocked.Now that's 0 freedom of speech.
But what you're doing here is telling people to do their job better, while you aren't their boss nor giving them anything in return.That is not a freedom that you have.
P.S. : I see you learned how to type ROM instead of ROOM.Congratulations!
Well, sometimes, some rules are not covered by what you can do and cant do. They are covered by etiquette. It is wrong to demand from developers or from anybody unless you are justified or enforced by law.
I have seen cases where threads were closed or things got overstated but in the end its not worth creating a thread about this. Just like you and me, moderators, developers are human beings, They can be biased, they can have their agendas and they can be wrong. In the end of the day, you make your judgement and your decision, maybe others will agree with you.
I suggest you read the rules of this website and etiquette of online interactions in a serious enviroment. XDA is mostly serious and people who reply to your questions are doing it for free time. Learn to respect that. Time is money.
XDA is the most friendly forum I have visited my entire life. I agree, this thread should be closed.
On the other hand, I think that guy is a spambot. Nothing he says makes any sense. Surprised to see such a thing in XDA.

Explain how to reproduce the error.
Use logcat from app store to pinpoint the errors.
Its easy and gives tremendous help.
I can even help you to learn use log cat, its no big deal, really, and you might even learn some things along the way.
But one thing doesn't help a all. Whining and give the idea devs effort are in vain, among other stuff.
Or just keep to stock, then you'll only have LG to complain.
Our developers are literary almost writing some things from the ground up, patching things with their knowledge, because besides 4.1.2, lg gave us NOTHING.
