Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

Well this forum is in English, and although there are a lot of British , American, Canadian, and Australian members who use English but i myself is Korean and english is not my first language. I have no problems with English but someone is sure to have some.

Are you plausible?

If anybody ever feels unsure about their English one thing they can do is post their nationality so everyone can see it (as I see you've done, cephlaken). That way others are aware of any language difficulties they may experience, and may even help them clarify what they're trying to say.
Take a look at my exobiology subforum of the planet Nereus!

There's currently a 'put the comma after the space' craze.
So the text looks like this ,which is ,of course ,not right.
Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea.

Grammar's fine, and so long as we get your message it's fine.

But if you know English properly and get things wrong, well.

Not on forums it isn't. In the interests of haste. I always capitalise 'I' if it is within quotes or at the start of sentences, but i don't capitalise 'I' while in flow.

Definitely. My French grammar's all mucked up.
'Je suis le Coq sportif', 'Donner un coup de la tete' is about my limit.
