Paris: €8 for a hot choco and €15 for a piece of cake, but I can tell you it is worth it.

It sure is! I love to share my inspirations with the world but i speak several langueges, and sometimes I confuse grammar and words. Always nice to have someone having your back :).

I totally understand your situation, @thepinksuitcase! Especially when the languages are from a similar root it is so easy to mix and match between them. I applaud you for writing in English because it is so difficult, even for those who only speak English. I am always happy to help out when it means giving someone more clarity it English. So many people are trying to learn the language by exposure rather than by formal instruction. So pointing out corrections is as much for the readers as for the writer. Actually, I think the greater impact is for the readers because there will be so many more of them for many years to come, and the writer may simply have had the mistake occur due to the auto-correct feature at the point of entry, and failed to see it. That happens to me all the time. Cheers!

You totally feel me! It is exactly how it. Also, at first I was afraid to write, because I'm a perfectionist and I don't want to make mistakes and would be ashamed because I don't want to make grammar mistakes, but then I thought, well if I don't try it I will never learn it :).

Absolutely, @thepinksuitcase! You have to just get going, and start writing. The wonderful thing is that we are all humans, nobody is perfect and nobody expects perfection. I, too, lean towards not wanting to publish anything that isn't technically as good as it can be. The nice thing about Steemit is that you can go back, and edit your posts for a period of time. I try to review every original blog post I write the next day when I can see it with fresh eyes. Doing this I usually find some typing errors that I missed, even though I reviewed it immediately after posting. The editability, even after people have made comments and upvotes, gives me the freedom to go ahead and hit the Post button when normally I would spend days editing and rewriting before publishing. Cheers!

Good tips XD! Thank you for your support.
