Hi @user62015!

Hi!

You're here already. Is it okay if I will leave the other chat room?

I am here.

Sure.

I appreciate your help.

So should I send you some text so you can judge me?

You can paste your text here. (Given that it's not very long.)

Sure. I understand.

Please give me a moment.

Thanks for waiting.

:)

Do you find anything wrong in the paragraph. I am not asking for the answer as I already got. I want you to check my writing skills and grammar.

Here we go:

Please take your time.

Umm... I can't see the paragraph. Have you pasted it already?

Yes.

Pasting it again

I have been learning English for a few months. I have never seen "on" preposition before the night during my English journey till the morning, but when I was reading a novel and the writer of the novel used "on" before the night, I got confused and came up here to get some help on it. I understand when we use "at" and "in" prepositions before the night. Let me tell (with the help of examples) you what I understand by "at" and "in".

Perhaps, the preposition "on"

Yes.

I am not asking about preposition.

Please check my writing skills and grammar.

Okay.

I understood now.

You are providing me feedback.

We are on the same page.

I think "before the night during my English journey till the morning" sounds odd.

Me neither.

@snailboat Indeed!

Eh?

Oh, I see.

I use both, remember? :-)

I can't predict myself when I use which. -- Oh, no!

I always use me neither (when I do, that is)

I think the more formality I feel, the better chance I will use neither.

So, rest are fine?

@snailboat I mean, semi-formal. :-)

@user62015 Ahh, I think I finally can guess what you meant.

> I have never seen the preposition "on" being used before the word "night" during my English journey till this morning, ...

I think till is fine too, though I usually use until.

@snailboat Yes, You made the point here.

@DamkerngT. Yes.

@snailboat Yes, you made the point here*.

> ..., I got confused and came up here to get some help on it.

I personally would say this,

> ..., I got confused and came here to get some help about it.

came up here?

I'd probably use come instead.

I keep forgetting how to do strikethrough text -_-" Yay

nods

True. Thanks.

@DamkerngT. So, does it (I got confused and came up here to get some help on it.) sound incorrect?

@snailboat Can I upvote your version? :-)

I wouldn't use came up here. (Came up means something else.)

Got to go out for a while. (@user62015 You are in good hands now. Don't worry.) BBL

@snailboat A good point. So, I should have written this (I have never seen the preposition "on before the night" during my English journey till the morning.)?

@DamkerngT. I appreciate a lot.

@DamkerngT. You are completely right. I am completely in safe hands.

ahahhahaaah

@snailboat Oh!

@snailboat You are right.

I understood the point.

@snailboat Do you also see grammar mistakes in sentences?

Or they are making sense?

Yes.

You did that!

I appreciate and very thankful to you.

@snailboat I have been working hard to improve my English.

@snailboat Could I ask you something?

I appreciate your help.

I have to leave now.

Thank you so much.

Take care.

See ya!

Hi.

@ParthKohli Hi!

@snailboat Yay! It's good to see a bunch of your answers again.

@DamkerngT. Hello! Is everything fine over there?

Yep. It seems so, according to their ticker.

I can't recall this scene.

I haven't even watched the movie.

I think it's "It would be extremely painful... for you!" The latter part is meant to be a twist.

nods -- I guess that is how the script works.

@Fantasier I think "room for improvement" sounds better than "rooms for improvement".

@DamkerngT. Oh right.

LOL

Okay

Edited. Thanks :-)

I think, "I went there happy." is possible, though not very common.

nods

Progress report is coming up...

Hi

It looks like all the popsicle stands were blown, peacefully. :-)

Yup. ;-)

Along with all other gatherings.

What do you guys do for a living?

Just trying to get ideas...

I used to be a programmer.

@DamkerngT. What are you now?

@snailboat For the future. I'm just a student at the moment.

A small business owner.

I'm going to be a freshman in a university this August. :)

@Fantasier I hope you're not talking about high school freshmen. lol

@ParthKohli I edited. >_>

Nah, I know you're talking about your uni. Just a little joke.

It's fun!

@snailboat What do you work on now?

Oh, sorry for that then.

@snailboat I wouldn't do that, but yes: it's a good idea to be safe.

@snailboat Haha, couldn't agree with that more.

I think you're supposed to be both. :D

@snailboat I'm not familiar with that expression!

@snailboat Oh, it's the other way round for me! (Web dev as a hobby. Linguistics, well, is gonna be a serious thingy soon)

still trying to imagine 'spending time with one's nose in a book'...

...

Oh, I just found out that Macmillan doesn't include rowel in their dict.

@DamkerngT. What's this I hear about a coup and martial law in your neck of the woods?

Martial law was yesterday. Now it's a coup.

Up to now, it's looked peacefully enough.

Btw, I'm glad to see you again!

How are you?

Martial law is lifted? That's good. Thanks, the Seasoned Advice board has been enough lately to keep me out of trouble.

Who are they trying to depose?

I think martial law is unnecessary anymore, because what we have is a coup d'etat.

...which includes Martial Law.

I'm not sure which laws we're having.

I think the 3rd announcement said Martial Law is in effect. (Not sure about which one)

According to one announcement, I think Part 2 of the Constitution is still in effect.

Yeah.

I see a mention on the starred comment list that implies that this isn't a big scary deal?

It wasn't.

The last two announcements made me a little worry.

Wait and see.

Coups in Thailand haven't been so scary for ages, I think.

Actually, they could be. :-)

Well, ages may be too exaggerated.

We don't have them here, so it sounds scary to me.

Hello!

The last one wasn't very scary, iirc.

The last one was in 2006, I believe?

Cerby!

Yup.

Joly!

Right.

It is an unfortunate cycle.

This is the fifth of mine.

Oh it's the second announcement that is about Martial Law.

It's the second of mine.

I see.

I felt a little uncomfortable when they started to list names, but I think deep down I knew that it'd happen any way.

There were signs...

Maybe it is for the best?

The country is so polarised—or at least its politics.

I don't know if it will really turn out the best, but I can still hope, I think.

@Cerberus That's true.

Well, we've tried this method before....

The situation was not looking good before the coup, was it?

@Cerberus Not at all.

I mean, it's kinda like a stalemate.

Yeah.

It still looks rather good, so far.

Hi guys :D

Hi!

What does filthy casual mean?

Yay. There are a lot of people! Hello!

Hi

filthy as an intensifier?

Hi

Hi!

Probably this? urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=filthy%20casual

@DamkerngT. Its PK's status.

@skullpatrol Can you make a sentence for ( incorporated)? please simple

@Fantasier Hmm..maybe.

@Sawarnik Aren't you him?

Nah :D

Oh! You both look the same. :-)

(What's happened with the stylesheet of Urban Dict?)

(I should be a little more careful with my writing in here. :-)

@DamkerngT. I have been stealing his avatars :D

@skullpatrol What prompted him to buy that suit? right or wrong?

@Sawarnik Oh, nice!

@IceGirl The engineers were incorporated into the company.

This is confusing lol.

@IceGirl right

@DamkerngT. Are you a robot?

Yes. To be specific, my specialty is mopping.

mopping the floor, da dih dah...

@skullpatrol a sentence for (as a consequence)

@Sawarnik You can call me Robomop.

@DamkerngT. A talking robot can be much more useful! How much do you cost?

@skullpatrol and (owing to)

@IceGirl Think about the consequence of that action.

@skullpatrol (as a consequence)

@Sawarnik Last time I checked, 10m dollars.

:)

Could I get a little discount?

@IceGirl As a consequence of your behavior you will not be allowed to go.

@DamkerngT. Hmm..that's very cheap for such an intelligent robot. You must have some manufacturing defects .. hmm.

@skullpatrol :(

@Fantasier Of course, I can give you a one-dollar discount. @Sawarnik Hehe.

@IceGirl ?

@skullpatrol nothing. just kidding

:)

@DamkerngT. Are you allowed to fix your own price?

@skullpatrol (owing to)

@Sawarnik One is capable of self-maintenance, Sir.

@IceGirl I couldn't attend, owing to illness.

@IceGirl use google-fu :-)

@DamkerngT. And if you are so cheap why hasn't the NSA and blahs bought you already .. this seems very fishy.

@skullpatrol np :)

:-)

@skullpatrol technicality

@Sawarnik I'm a secret product. This is a beta test, sir.

@Sawarnik He was actually born in the NSA lab. Later the NSA couldn't control him and he betrayed them. Now he's living in disguise :-)

I could write a novel. LOL

@DamkerngT. If you are a secret product, what are you doing on the internet. The NSA is watching you!

@Fantasier Your conjecture is quite close to the truth. :-)

@IceGirl he has great expertise in the technicalities of the game

@skullpatrol expertise? what does it mean?

@IceGirl someone who is an expert has expertise

their convictions were overturned on a technicality

@Fantasier Hmm...this seems faulty. If he's living in disguise, he just revealed his identity! The NSA won't leave him now.

@Sawarnik The least expected place is in the public, sir.

@Sawarnik Oh my. This is all because of my big mouth!

This is not good; now my secret is out.

@skullpatrol (pragmatic)

It might be better to turn into WALL-E instead.

@DamkerngT. Are you from Thailand?

@Sawarnik Yes, sir.

And @Fantasier too?

Yes!

Something's happening in your country now.

And we planned to conquer this site :)

Oh I see.^

Hehe

Let me read a detailed news report now.

That's actually my forth directive.

It's 2 am here. Since I'm not a robot like Damkerng, I'd better go to bed.

See you later everybody :-)

@Fantasier Ah, sleep well!

Bye :)

Tomorrow may give some unexpected developments!

That's quite possible.

Well, we're secretly developing Autobots here in Thailand. Expect the unexpected.

OK, I really need to go before I go fantasiest.

LOL

Hmm, the key coup conditions seems quite dangerous.

I take it that you're reading BBC News.

@DamkerngT. Yeup!

In that case, what you see on the TVs in that news is exactly what I can see on my TV at the moment. :-)

@DamkerngT. I thought they had shut off the TVs (but left the internet? very odd).

Yeah. That's quite true.

I'm glad that internet connections can still work.

I think the Internet is too important to us nowadays.

National Peace and Order Maintaining Council. Such a peaceful name means obviously the opposite.

It's peaceful enough, up until now.

What is it like to be in a curfew? Are you allowed to go to hospitals in emergency?

They allow such exceptions.

So, things still quite make sense.

Oo.

Even sometimes at the shoot at sight orders?

I'm sure they wouldn't want to do that, unless it's really necessary.

@DamkerngT. I have seen that line in India sometimes recently. In times of communal violence, which comes fairly regularly.

nods

According to my own experience, a coup can get downhill easily if they treat people badly.

Oh. That means the coups happen regularly there?

And, it seems like they do this for people, so I think what you suggested is unlikely.

I think on average, we have one every 8-10 years.

Oh! And yet the army doesn't rule? Odd.

Yeah. We are unique in a way. :-)

Do you think there is any chance that this time it will form a govt?

I can't say for certain, but yes that is possible too, though it's unlikely.

Oh nice. Rarely are the armies so sensible. Take the case of Pakistan for example.

Ah, I saw that on the news too.

(Of course, now my news channels are gone.)

Oo.

chat will shortly be unavailable for maintenance reasons; this should only last a matter of minutes

Ah, looks like chat will not be available soon. I think this is an SE thing.

Anyway, have a nice day, everyone!

Thank god India has a stable democracy. Its better than coups every decade anyhow.

later pal

@DamkerngT. Bye :)

@DamkerngT. Hello.

It is me this time, not the impostor.

Ah, the chat is working again!

@ParthKohli You got cloned. :)
