Thank for accepting my corrections and offering a lot of encouragement. My native language is not English so my misspellings can't be taken as a criteria to measure my IQ level.
As for as learning English language is concerned, it is not difficult to learn. However, the students who start learning any language in the start of their academic career always perform better than those who start learning English for their career. And I started learning English much later, during my studies.
And what is my Profession?
I have been working with the Government of Punjab for last 16 years at different administrative, judicial and executive positions.

Increase in age, loss of intelligence? by: Anonymous
Your English is no doubt better than my Punjabi. I appreciate corrections as well. Thesis is the correct speeling of "theses." Did you mean to say: "adapting" instead of "apoting" in the following phrase? You know English language is not only changing but also adopting to the diverse communities of the world.
I enjoy studying language; how difficult do you find the English language to learn compared to other languages?
I agree to a certain extent that misspellings do not equate to a lack of intelligence... but only if it's not your native tongue.
What is your profession?

Wrong Spellings do not Equate to Low Intelligence. by: Admin
To Arnold,
I agree. Intelligence does not decrease with age but with certain beliefs. No doubt a time comes when our brain cells fail to retain anything but in most of the times we believe that intelligence decreases with age.
And my spelling and grammar mistakes...
I openly admit that English language is foreign to me. Most of the visitors know that I am from Pakistan and here we speak Urdu as out national tongue. My mother tongue is Punjabi.
I am thankful to all those who point out mistakes. I have corrected the spellings as you pointed out.
On the other hand there has been scholarly research into 'impact of internet use on English language'. Recently, one of my friends has submitted his M.Phil thesis on this subject. You know English language is not only changing but also adopting to the diverse communities of the world.
I am not justifying my mistakes but claiming indemnity for being a foreigner to the English language. I try my best to communicate as fairly as possible. If you can understand me then you may bear me with.
