Posts like that make me wish that they would introduce mandatory grammar/spelling tests for the ILR and citizenship

wunder

i think these days even chimps can get IELTS general 6.5 …

I couldn't agree more & am glad someone dared to say something I've been thinking for a long time. So much for the Life in UK test (whatever it's called) how about a verbal and written English test.

There you go, I've said it

To sabeeh

Just to let you know I wasn't having a go at you personally. I am genuinely pleased for you. But I'm sensitive to all this ILR process because it looks like I'm about to give up 17 years of life in this country because I can't survive my long wait for my ILR. Needless to say my opinions of the immigration process in this country have become very much contradictory to my own situation.

Congratulations and I hope you have a long happy life in the UK.

kiwigirl25 thanks for best wishes i m sure one day yours problems will be solve happy days come soon you know in life if any body face difficulties its mean he or she will get beter life also the best thing is you are getting more exp then me the fealing you have i cant feal caz i m not in that i pray for you and all the people who are in any problem any where in the world for the best wishes and i dont mind what ever people say about my english they are still more respectful for me.even i have seen many people who born here and they dnt have much grammer and spelling english so what will happen to them?

You know what they say? Excuses are like armpits – everybody has them and they always stink

There are more serious tests in life the KOL in the UK.
Been a foreigner in not an excuse for not speaking language and it brings bad reputation and shame on all ILR holders who worked hard to get it.

wunder & kiwigirl,

I've given up long ago! When you read some of the stuff that people write here, and then they tell you they are getting naturalised, you really wonder what the heck is going on!

Oh well...

It really upsets and annoys me, at some of the very negative posts. Just because someone has managed to gain ILR when ENGLISH is clearly not their first language/native language does not give you the right to mock these people.

Are you able to speak/read/write another language just like some of our fellow posters. Just because their second language is not 100% perfect/fluent does not make them any different to you and I.

You are suggesting that the government introduce spelling, punctuation and grammer tests, well I am sugeting that the government also introduce attitude tests for people like you.

People improve with practice and experience. You should treat people fairly.

example:
I am a British Citizen born and bred in the UK. My wife happens to be foreign and also a highly qualified individual having studied at institutions such as the university of Oxford and holds Phd's in Physics and Economoics. Guess what??
her English is not perfect neither. Does that make her any different to you and I . I think not.

Some attitudes and behaviours most definately need to change on this forum. It is this minority of people who should not be allowd to pst.

fingerscrossed, overdramatic much?

fingerscrossed wrote:Are you able to speak/read/write another language just like some of our fellow posters.

You are clearly new here - most people answering question here are foreigners who settled in UK. So yes, I/we do.

fingerscrossed wrote:People improve with practice and experience. You should treat people fairly.

People in question have between 3 and 14+ years of practice to perfect their English.

fingerscrossed wrote:Does that make her any different to you and I . I think not.

It's not about difference or perfection of language - it is about people finding their place in society they are striving to live in.

fingerscrossed wrote:Just because someone has managed to gain ILR when ENGLISH is clearly not their first language/native language does not give you the right to mock these people.

99% of us have English as their second or even third, like in my case, language so what? I could be bothered to learn it and yes, this gives me every right in the world to mock those lazy ones. And nobody talks about perfect English…relax

Attitude towards what? lazy people? Bring it on I say!

fingerscrossed wrote:You should treat people fairly.

Why do you think it’s fair that highly skilled people must spend 5 years paying tax and NI to get ILR when those on spouse visa don’t need to work and get only 2 years? Eh?

It’s unfair world, get used to it

Hey Chill man

It could be just a slip of finger.. The OP just have left one A from- HURRAY.. It could be due to the happiness on her achievement!!

Congarts OP!!

Oh yes, and his keyboard could be without [SHIFT], [,] or [.] buttons. And some black magic turned his well structured message into a mess of un-separated sentences, missed letters, and words like "peoples", "there", "flore".

That's "rite"!

That's atrocious!! You should never been made to feel that way. You've admitted that your grammar isn't perfect and are doing something about it, which is to be commended. I don't think this was meant to be a personal attack, there are plenty of people that post on here who haven't a good grasp of the English language (some of them English is their first language). There are times when I cringe at what I've typed on-line . It's now been blown out of all proportion and someone has been made to feel bad about themselves!!

Sabeeh - ignore all this rubbish and celebrate your huge achievement. I apologise for my input and never meant to make you feel bad.

To the person that questioned if we have a second language, well I do. I'm learning Spanish so when I travel to South America for 3 months at the end of this year I can converse with the "natives". No use spending a significant amount of time in a country and not being able to speak the language. But I would be more than happy to admit I'm not fluent at all and fully expect to make a fool of myself over there .
