I have inferiority complex on my written communication

Not related to the thread topic but thought will ask here from members who are here for long time.

I got an e-mail from the admin here asking me to select a welcome gift.

Do you disclose your name and address to receive that?

 

My H is not of much use in boosting my self esteem. I say 'snap photos ' when in vacation and he laughs loudly saying it should be 'take pictures'. For me, while growing up , we always referred movies as pictures, so immediately the word doesn't come to me. His English is much better than mine but he doesn't help kids but he is ready to make fun of me when I do. This icon is him gigglingsmiley

I read all posts and suggestions. And I am glad to read that you all did not consider my English that bad. This is huge to help my morale in improving further. Thanks a lot for all the replies. My goal is to help my kids constructively in their essays and other writing assignments when they reach high school and I still have few more years to improve.

 

@butterflyice, I am originally from North Karnataka. So even my Kannada is considered inferior in front of Bengaluru Kannadigas of my husband' s family and friends here in US!

Surprisingly, their snide remarks never used to bother me earlier but in last 2-3 years, I have become sensitive. I don't know is it because of the realization that to change ourselves is difficult as we grow older?

 

I missed reading this in my quick read.
I haven't read too many posts yet but reading some of the posts and threads of her in last 2 days since I registered here, I consider her as extremely nice natured. Her confidence shows but she doesn't come across as snobbish at all. She was the first one to give sincere feedback to my thread as well. I wish my relatives and family friends who boast of superior English and manners were half nice as her.
