My second entry

I don't like writing/to write personal things on the internet, but it is a easy way to say something and practise ('practice' for American English) my written English. Besides, the chat isn't working (right) now (it crashses a lot, I think it happens because there are a lot of people connected at the same time at this hour), so I can't find anyone to practise my spoken english.

So, here I am trying to write about something. For example, yesterday and today I corrected some diary notes from English speakers (ok, only two :P), and I've seen that they put a lot of accents or "tildes" correctly (correctly or 'incorrectly'?). In Spanish the accent is the term for the sound and the "tílde" to expresses it in writing. When I went to the school I hated them, and I rarely used them because for me, it did not make any sense. When I read a word with a "tílde" within a phrase in spanish/in/within a Spanish phrase, I understand immediately how I should pronounce this word. Many years ago, in my country you couldn't pass an exam in any subject with more than two or three wrong "tíldes", fortunately (or not) when I was in/going to school and university they were less strict than in olden times/in times past/in the past. Indeed, now I admit that I forget them a lot when I write/when writing in spanish if I do not pay special attention. It is sad, I know, however I convince myself by saying (that) I'm a man of science/scientist, hehe. But I understand now that to non-native speakers, it must be important knowing exactly where they have to put the accent when they talk/when speaking.

Wow, finally I wrote a text! I'm sure it has a lot of mistakes and weird expressions :). If you are a non-Spanish speaker... Do you hate the "tildes"? Does it help you to have a better pronunciation?

Bye!, and thanks for reading :)

Claro, me gustan las tildes, son sumamente útiles. :D

Corrected. There isn't edit option, is it?

Specials thanks to jerrod111, I think I have learned some new words and prepositions uses.
