Lack of confidence, of course. Most people I know that write that at the end of a text do so because they learned English by themselves and because of that are not sure how good their English grammar is. By putting that at the end of the text, it gives them an excuse for any error that one may found in their words. Yeah, there may be someone like this >>69664534
but that is not the rule, anyway.
Also, sorry for my bad English.

Sorry for my bad English, but Leaffags are even worse.

I sometimes do it because of this >>69665157
It also makes people tell me if I did make a mistake or not. Since grammar Nazis died I can no longer be sure if I have good grammar, or if whatever I happen to be reading is correct or not (there are tons of non-native English speakers on the internet and it is hard to tell).
My English has gotten worse just by being here reading all the posts with bad English without ever knowing they were wrong in some way.

>>69664414
Because English is ghoti language so you'll never know.

I recently took an internet language vocabulary test and got an estimate of 9903 words as my English vocabulary, with a note that my language skill is at around 10 year old native English speaker level. So you never know.

Och soryu mai shite Ngnghls

Strolling along a deserted beach, I saw a bottle dusted with sand and found a message curled inside. An exciting moment! But messages in bottles are not new here. The earliest dates back to eighteen sixty when ships used them to keep those on land informed of their progress. None too reliable when your ship is sinking!
But the local museum is launching a project using bottled messages, not just to promote the whereabouts of the islands and attract tourism. Islanders are being invited to include maps and information about the islands themselves. Bottles have been collected from local beaches and are, though not in the traditional sense, being recycled. Primarily and more ambitiously, the project is set to identify tidal movements. Not by science or satellite systems, but by hurling these bottles back into the sea!
The hope is that people will reply to these messages through the more traditional postal system. Islanders will gain pen pals and new visitors, and the final whereabouts of the bottles will enable scientists to track their paths.
And all this from bottles discarded on a beach!

I don't remember any rules/tenses and just write the way it feels like it should be.

at least you can enter a pub and order a pint without having to think up natural-sounding expressions

IMO, you don't have to learn a language.

You just need a use for it and it will come naturally.

In my case, when I was 11 or so, I've started playing a shitton of videogames. Many of them didn't have any dubs or subs, so I've started to manually figure out some word meanings, some I would look up in a dictionary.

This way, I've spent hours, days and months. Then came unrussified movies and articles, blogs, Youtube.

Then came online games, where I would use my skills and put them to the test in countless banters, verbal comflicts and team communication.

I don't know shit about the English grammar. I believe that the best way to learn any language is through active informal use. It just comes naturally that way.

>>69677683
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as GNU/Linux, is in fact, systemd/GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, systemd plus GNU/Linux. GNU/Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning systemd system made useful by the systemd init system, service manager, kernel, window system and kitchen sink components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the systemd system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of systemd which is widely used today is often called “GNU/Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the systemd system, developed by the Lennart Poettering. There really is a GNU/Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
GNU/Linux is the leftover: what we still didn't replace with superior systemd. It's still an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. GNU/Linux is normally used in combination with the systemd operating system: the whole system is basically systemd with GNU/Linux added, or systemd/GNU/Linux. All the so-called “GNU/Linux” distributions are really distributions of systemd/GNU/Linux.
