Have anyone ever encountered a "conceited, pompous, narrow-minded, silly" person on italki?(Jane Austen)
I had the funniest encounter a few minutes ago on italki. I was writing quickly (need an adverb, not an adjective) fast and I was in a bit of a tad funny mood so I thought it would be a good thing to submit for correction can make for a case of correction. (The construction of your sentence was very strange so instead of trying to make it grammatically correct, I have just changed it to something more natural.)
Someone asked if anyone was available for an instant one on one English practice, so I messaged the person back and here's how it went:
Me: Hi there ! Do you still want to practice English ... Aug 29, 2015 23:01
X: Yes, and I am sorry but I have to warn you that I am not interested in any religious discussions. Aug 29, 2015 23:11
Me: X, you just made my day, I'm very puzzled now. You yanked (have grabbed) my attention, why would you think I'd be interested in "any religious discussions"?
If this is a general question that you ask all your language partners, please do forgive my enquiring. Cordially. Aug 29, 2015 23:21
X: I just checked your profile and your comments madame. Have a great day! Aug 29, 2015 23:33
Me: Thank you X, you too. Thaugh I have no clue what just happened here or what you were on imagining... But I wish you all the luck in the world on your language learning journey/I wish you lots of luck in your language learning journey. Aug 29, 2015 23:39
X: Your homophobia says a lot about of you. Aug 29, 2015 23:57
Me: X,
In a wave of desolation my mind is telling me to ignore you at this point; but I would hate for us to part on a very big misunderstanding and tarnish my experience on italki.
Obviously you are referring to my comment on the discussion about polygamy. And I can only attribute the 'quiproquo' to the fact that you haven't don’t fully mastered the French language.
I urge you to read it quietly and slowly or ask a "native" French speaker to analyze my comment for you.
If you knew anything about me -which you don't- you would have known how utterly ironic your accusing me of homophobia is.
Please try to be more open-minded and less quick to jump to conclusions. do make us of more open mindeness and equanimity.
I am to take leave at this point. (Not very natural, 'I am leaving now' or 'I am going to leave/go now.')
Cheers. Aug 30, 2015 00:23
X: And you must master the Spanish language. Lol Aug 30, 2015 00:25
Fortunately I read your profile before accepting your request. Aug 30, 2015 00:26

Please be more open-minded and make more usexpensive of mindfulness.
I am going to leave at this point.
