Very well Digons boy, I think these little corrections will make a huge difference in the way the fellows expresses themselves (giving my contribution, I would switch "post from before" to "previous post", it's less verbose.
By the way, according to I said before, when you switch your brain activity to think and understand english (when I say this, I mean completely forget portuguese and the manners we build sentences), you start to reorganize the words position and clearly things make sense in a different way. It's very important when you're communicating to strangers. I remember, when I was writing my bachelor thesys during my exchange studies, my supervisor said that I was using too many words to express what I was trying to say. She is scandinavian and compared to english, their language is more direct, they use less words to build sentences. I told her that portuguese is exactly the opposite. Compared to english, we use a lot more words to create sentences, hence I tried to compress the text as much as I could, to properly fit in an understendable language and she found it too verbose. Anyway, we reached a consense and everything went well.
Well, I used this example to say to you that the way we put the words makes total difference. That's why is important to forget our manners to create sentences in portuguese and switch automatically to english, which is a more direct language. This explain why is a bit difficult to comprehend comments on youtube made by americans, english, or other kind of strangers, because they have their unique way to express themselves, according to their language structures.
Think about that fellows, wish you all a very good weekend!
P.S.: I forget to mention before, that's a lovely initiative to have a thread to discuss everything in english, shall be a very good tool to encourage the guys in their english studies. Thanks to fellow Smith (which stole Senna's idea hahaha). I'm glad to help you in everything you need.
