Linguistic Hate

As an aspiring linguist and perfectionist, I love getting feedback on how my skills at speaking a foreign language are -hence my masochistic love of Livemocha. Because while I love feedback, I only love positive feedback, even when I know my submissions are total shit. But it kills me when I press the "submit exercise" button - feeling like I spoke like a total local would speak, and my submission gets a lot of ratings quickly, with an average of 2-3 out of 5 stars. Leaving me filled with rage and spite,and landing the people kind enough to review my submissions as "unhelpful" (the scourge of the Livemocha community *evil laughter*) I'm sorry if it took me months to figure out how to say the "ão" in "não" correctly, I'm sorry if the fact that the r's aren't r's but more compressed air being forcefully shoved out of the mouth.

Please don't rape my exercises with hate? I'll love you forever.

Sincerely,

Nathan.
