Once in a blue moon, when I rewatch dramas that are 6 to 12 years old, I check out the Dramabeans recaps. There, I sometimes see a comment written by an overly passionate, black-and-white thinking kid with bad grammar. Then, I accidentally glance at the username of this unauthorized user and realize it’s me. Embarrassed, I look at the replies under my comment. The replies are always eloquently written, discuss a few of my points, don’t judge my grammar, and generally take my opinion seriously.

So, I guess I want to thank all the users for treating me kindly all those years because that allowed me to improve my English and comfortably grow out of being that overly passionate and simplistic kid without feeling ashamed of myself.

Love,
February

On a less cute note, I once wrote a page-long comment in Russian, and people ate me alive because I used the letter “o” instead of “a”.

    On an even less cute note, in the past year, I joined a theater discussion page. There, nearly instinctively, I started writing my reviews of the performances I have seen. I am not sure if the directors of said plays are everyone’s godfather, but GOD, these people would readily deport me from my country if it was their choice. Even judging the performance’s length is taken as a grand insult to the almighty.

      The other day, people there bullied this guy for arrogantly going to see Macbeth without having read the play prior to watching the performance. Apparently, had he read it, he would not have felt the characters were badly flashed out on stage *eye roll*.

    I sometimes read really old threads, too. I always enjoy spotting comments from beanies who are still here.

    If you were to tell me english isn’t your native language, I would be surprised. Kudos to your hardwork in learning a different language!

      Thank you! Consuming KDramas and Fanfiction, and participating in this community definitely made a significant chunk of this hardwork extremely enjoyable.
