Questions
Why doesn’t italki fix the errors shown publicly in the pop-up message when someone posts too frequently? " Language learning can be exciting. But you are posting too frequently, please try again later.” I am surprised that an online language learning platform makes such mistakes publicly. It should be the first to care about errors, especially in grammar and punctuation. These are basic rules of English writing that any language learner should know. How can an online language learning platform expect its users to trust its quality and credibility if it cannot even write a correct message? I think it should review its messages and correct any errors before displaying them to the public. There are two errors in the pop-up message. The first one is that you should not start a sentence with “But” because it is a coordinating conjunction that connects two independent clauses. You can either use a comma instead of a period before “But”, or use a different word like “However” or “Nevertheless” to start the sentence. For example: Language learning can be exciting, but you are posting too frequently. Please try again later. However, you are posting too frequently. Please try again later. The second error is that you should not use a comma to separate two independent clauses. You can either use a semicolon, a period, or a coordinating conjunction with a comma to join them. For example: Language learning can be exciting, but you are posting too frequently; please try again later. Language learning can be exciting, but you are posting too frequently. Please try again later. Shame on you italki!
