My first note
Today was my first day at italki.
I came here from a TED talk which was about learning a second language. ("which was" is grammatically correct, but not necessary here.)
Even though I can understand english, (supported by the fact that I watched TEDx) I am not very good at writing.
I have wrote written a technical question on stack overflow and many people have sent me a edit request. (?)
From now on, I am going to post a lot about my life. I am always welcome for pointing out corrections of my mistake. (You couls also say "I always welcome feedback about my mistakes.").
What did you mean by "edit request" on stack overflow? I've never posted there, but I often read the site.
Great entry, and welcome to italki!
I am just giong to correct this sentence:
"I have wrote a technical question on stack overflow and many people sent me a edit request."
Since the other poster seemed confused.
"I wrote a technical question post on stack overflow and many people sent me an edit request."
This is if you are answering a question. You could say this, and it makes sense, but 'edit request' would sound better if you wrote it more explicitely:
"I wrote a technical question post on stack overflow and many people sent me requests to correct the english of the post."
Good work. If you have questions please let me know.
