I'm Such a Screw Up

Bick doesn't hate you and neither do the others. Please come back and talk.

Leaka, I am sorry that you have had this problem. But I am sure if you explain things, they will understand. It can be hard trying to say something in another language. I once had to converse with someone in Macadonian (I apologise if I spelt that incorrectly) and I managed to come out with what I needed to say wrongly and caused offence to the individual I was conversing with. I deeply apologised and we were able to resolve the matter, which took time as I wasn't very fluent in the language. I've not spoken the language again since. I only speak english now, as I'm too worried I will offend someone by saying the wrong thing.
I hope you have sorted the problem out though, and don't be so hard on yourself next time.
Hugs to you!
Sher.

Leaka,

I read the thread and talked to Bick too. I know you didn't mean it that way, and I know it can be tough translating something into a language you're not so great at. I'm learning Arabic and write down sentences which have wrong meanings than what I want to say, which causes a bit of havoc sometimes. However, let me tell you that Bick is NOT angry at you, she's actually sad that you're upset. Now that's a kind of misunderstanding which you can clear easily by telling her that you were giving her an advice, not angry or offensive towards her. I'll try my best to communicate this to her, and as far as other participants are concerned, Bick will for sure explain this to them and everything will be clear.

Now, don't be upset. You just need to trust your friends, and we'll understand what you're trying to say even if it reads as 'RUDE', we know you're not that. Urs was also trying to help you, and I don't think he's actually angry, just concerned about you and Bick. We're all writers and have our weak points. You have a way with simplicity in your sentences, and I have a problem of wordy sentences. And English is my second language too, so I know it can be difficult handling it sometimes. I may write fine, but I can't speak very fluently in English. So there's no need to feel embarrassed.

Best wishes and take care. You can always talk to me if you need to.

Aww, Leaka. You're not a screwup. I have no idea what this is all about, but if it's any consolation, I didn't even know English was your second language, so you do well. Also, you seem like a really cool person.

Leaka
take it from a long time screwup.
appoligize and move on.
If they accept an appology from the heart they are a class act.
If they snub it then you have done your best.
You can talk to me at any time and I will not hate you.
I can only speak one language and I sound rude at times in that one.
I can only imagine what speaking 2 languages would do to my translating feelings.
luv and hugs to a young man many will come to admire as you mature.
