回复：小测验：我下面这个帖子有三处不地道的地方（不是时态），大家来找，我晚上公布答案？

See my comments below. But what happened?  Can you provide the context? 

 

that's just a joke! It's just a random number for （add  the ) entertainment purpose only. Do you think I took it seriously? No, of course not(of course I don't). I know where my English level stands and I feel secure enough to laugh at the score. And I have a highly-educated native speaker at home (Really, you are married to a Lao Wai?)to check.

I was only annoyed that(better use Since) most of the comments were so wrong and everyone is(was) buying it! For example, your use of "bitter" is not British English. It's just pure, wrong usage of "bitter"! it would be such an insult to the Brits! However, your grammatical mistake of using "many" in front of an uncountable noun, your wrong use of "promise to somebody" and your mistake in "I should have had spent " were not pointed out.  But I don't want to argue about it(them) because that will take too much time. I don't want to be sucked into another online fight.

I feel the translation/writing class is becoming too much a distraction for me, overshadowing my pronounciation efforts. That's why I need to shift my focus and "闭关". :)
