A blog serves as a channel of communication between blogger and readers (the audio company and the audience here). However, from the posting on Oct.31st, we see a 14-year-old Italian girl, Francesca, wrote down her opinion and then corrected the spelling error herself. Actually, it doesn’t matter for others to understand what the meaning is but she apologized for it. For some non-native speakers like Francesca or us, we pay much attention on correctness of grammar, spelling and so on so once we make a mistake of these; we will care about it much more than native speakers even though it won’t lead to misunderstanding of meaning.
On the contrary, a native speaker, Elina, made an indifferent mistake on her response but she didn’t even care about it because it doesn’t result in misunderstanding.
The entertaining blog serves as not only a channel of communication but also an environment of English learning. Learners acquire English unconsciously through voluntary entertainment as well as recreation.
What’s more, we see how native speakers use text characters as we typing abbreviation like ㄅㄅ(掰掰) even though we don’t have foreign friends who chat with us on MSN.

Ya! It is interesting to see these comments. We can always find some interesting interaction and the usage of abbreviation and learn from it.
The most sparking part of a blog I think is not only the content of the postings but also the writing style and interaction between readers and the blogger. How does the writing style work to induce the reader is an art of writing.
Non-native speakers focus more attention than the native on the grammar and spelling. It isn't news because the teachers always ask these non-native speakers watch out their grammar.
Caring about the grammar and the spelling make the speakers feel limit in expressing. Before they vomit out the words, they have to take a great consideration. It builds a big obstacle between the speakers and the others. And it also make the speakers get more afraid of speaking or writing.
I once tried writing without thinking too much about the grammar. Just follow my intuition to write. And I found that writing became easier and that I can write a lot. And I also found that with my reading improves, this kind of writing bacome better and better and the faulse I would make is reduced.
Could not find a suitable section so I written here, how to become a moderator for your forum, that need for this?
