A mí sí me han servido los de Matomy en muchísimas ocasiones, y a otros compañeros también.

Suerte.

Ya van un par de días que me pasa como a vosotras, precisamente hoy me han salido 3 que se quedaban en negro, hasta que me cansé y los cerré. No se me había ocurrido probar lo que dices, muchas gracias.

Suerte y saludos!

However, I was simply trying to help. ClixSense is a USA based program with USA English
speaking owners and support. Often this simple little ditty can be so misunderstood that
it causes these members to lose time or lose money. You may not notice it. You may not
realize it. I have been here for ten years and I see it frequently and have for ten years.

Just for the record, and since that's what you've posted right after my latest post, I never doubted that you were trying to help, nor did I mean to spoil your thread. On the contrary, I found this chat about English grammar quite interesting, as it's something directly linked to my job, and thought it was right to exchange some views... I guess I'll eventually learn that some things never change. Thanks for your time, anyway.

Okay.

So I had started to doubt whether these two sentences were proper English and meant the same:

Previously I made $20, I don't any more.

I used to make $20, but I don't any more.

But on second thoughts, and freakingout aside, I guess that the English I've been taught and the English I'm supposed to teach to kids can't be absolute crap.

Actually, neither of those are correct. Neither make sense. Here is why:

I don't any more, previously I made $20.

But I don't any more, I used to make $20.

You can't begin a sentence with a 'But' and therefore you can't have a coma before a 'but'.

Remove the coma from yours and it will come more to making sense.

Neither? Oh my, but it was you who set the first one as an example of proper English!

Hmm, you can actually have a coma before a "but" if "but" is at the beginning of an independent clause, so you're right when suggesting that I remove the coma from my example... unless I turned the second part into an independent clause too.

As for beginning a sentence with "But", not to contradict a native for no reason, but there are many instances where it's correct to do so. This link provides with a good explanation on this issue, in case you wish to take a look:

Sorry to hear of those hard times, I hope you're feeling better. I replied to your last email, but got no response and just thought I'd let it be. It's good to hear from you, welcome back and all the best!

Sarah_Hill...... oh I am so very sorry if I never replied
I feel bad now.... Shoot me another e-mail anytime you want!!

Oh please, don't be sorry, we all have our issues and stuff to attend to.
I'll soon have a pretty busy schedule, won't even have the time to mess around CS anymore haha, but I'll take your offer into account!

Where'd you go?

HI Valerie..... lol no I haven't done a task in probably about a year! I have been doing the ads and some offers but just had not been online working much at all. I have had so much going on the last year with my divorce, a few family members passing away and other stuff.

I noticed your activity but I had no way of contacting you.
Welcome back Tas and sorry for your losses. Hope you have recovered from those.

Just in case you didn't know, you can send a support ticket and tell them which member you'd like to contact via email, if he/she agrees then you have a way to get in touch out of CS. It was TasMail indeed who passed me that info ages ago.

Hey TasMail, nice to see you around!

valerie wrote:No, that wouldn't make sense. It was an example, by the way.

If you want proper English it would be :

Previously I made $20, I don't any more.

The word 'use' in the way I 'used' it in my example, is poor English, more of a lazy slang.

Sure, it was an example to illustrate what those members meant, but I wrongly assumed you were saying it the way it should be said.

But using "used" instead of "Previously I made..." is perfectly proper English, right?

Now I'm starting to freak out.

Yep, it's awesome if you want to get kicked out from a bar by a non gay waiter.

Europeans must be smarter

They should actually speak Spanish in the first place, as we beat the number of Dutch speakers by far.

Justo hoy he visto 2 vídeos, pero de los del cartelito naranja (Matomy). En realidad me han llegado 3, pero el primero se quedó la pantalla en negro demasiado tiempo y lo cerré. Ya hacía bastante tiempo que no me salía ninguno, pero he seguido probando por si acaso, nunca se sabe.

Suerte, salu2.

Darn, after all these years studying English it turns out I don't know sh*t just because I don't happen to live in the US!

By the way, I've got a doubt regarding these sentences:

valerie wrote:I use to make $20 but I don't any more
My add-on use to work but it doesn't any more
I use to live in India but I don't any more

Shouldn't all those "use" actually be "used"? Or is it just another made in the USA language thing?

I'm looking forward to it. 29 ºC here today, and could raise to 32. However, rain is expected tomorrow... but I don't think it'll last. Summers seem to be getting longer and longer.
