"I took a quiz today and I'm not sure about the answer to one of the questions."

Actually I registered here in order to get a sensible answer to my question not to get editions on my writing.

This is a forum dedicated to the teaching of correct English. If you don't want your incorrect English corrected, you are in the wrong place.

Fine. In future, I won't respond to your posts at all. Either you want to improve your English or you don't. You can't pick and choose which bits you want us to correct.

Sure I want to improve my English and I understand you all in that point but at least if you had answered my question while showing me the correct sentence I would have felt like improving my English instead of being criticised. I hope you understand what I mean.

As you can see, I hit the "Like" button on all 3 posts (including yours) which suggested that B was the correct answer. That indicated that I agreed with that answer. I then chose to show you the errors in your post.

That doesn't explain why I received the information informing you liked it after one hour passed your editing my writing without an answer to my question but okay thanks anyway! :)

You're right that I "Liked" the other answers later on (I tend to do Likes after I have dealt with a post) but that doesn't change anything. I quite frequently find posts which have been perfectly adequately answered by other members so I take it upon myself to point out the errors in the original post. I don't plan to change my method of volunteering my time on this forum.
