It is a translation related to the context , the whole meaning of a certain context and explanation .I can understand it more than a native speaker because I know its meaning in Arabic .

OK, but it doesn't mean much to an English-speaking audience.

It will depend on the audience 's interests without regard to his or her mother tongue.

I don't understand quite what you mean by your first sentence in post #21.

It is a translation of a context not only words or sentences.

I think you mean "That depends on the audience and their mother tongue." Am I right?

Abo.omar, your profile shows that you are an English teacher. As such, learners on this site will assume that everything you write is correct. Please make sure you use correct spacing around punctuation.

Do not put a space before a comma or a full stop.
Always put a space after a comma or a full stop.
Everything I write not every use of my keyboard.
Sorry, but I didn't study punctuation with the 'keyboard'
I do my best to improve my writing with the keyboard.

Sorry, but I didn't study punctuation with the 'keyboard'. How does one study with a keyboard?

I will do my best to improve my writing when I write with the keyboard.

See above. I note you have changed your member profile from "English Teacher" to "Interested in Language". Have you recently stopped teaching English?

Yes, I did. Because learners on this site may assume that everything I write is correct.
I noticed that many replies are not direct to the direct questions which cause/causes misunderstanding.
I always do my best to improve my writing while writing with the keyboard.

What do you mean?
Please write a complete sentence to [STRIKE]be able to[/STRIKE] help me understand.
What I wrote in post #30 is a complete sentence, but your sentence that I quoted in the same post is not.

I know and I changed it before your last post.

Your sentence may be complete, but not clear enough for me.:roll:

You should have written something like:

This/that is because learners on this site may assume that everything I write is correct.
