and yet you were unable to surmise what it was the OP was trying to say, you were not receptive at all to the message? or did you just focus on the grammar technicalities
and technically, the boy is four years old he cannot possibly distinguish at this age what is good or bad grammar
"In Internet slang, a troll (pron.: /ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is someone who posts inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[3] The noun troll may also refer to the provocative message itself, as in: "That was an excellent troll you posted."
While the word troll and its associated verb trolling are associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels subjective, with trolling describing intentionally provocative actions and harassment outside of an online context. For example, mass media has used troll to describe "a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families."
From experience i know several foreign exchange students in my class who genuinely speak and write this way, their English tenses are not exactly eloquent, not to mention their accents. However, I can still understand them perfectly. I've seen how they are harassed and ridiculed for it by pompous american students with their perfect english, with such statements similiar to yours "you can barely speak properly.." etc
Your first response did two things; if for one this was indeed a troll which you assumed, then you did "feed the troll". Wouldnt your "correct action" have been to simply ignore it, not even bother with such trolls?
Second no need for the extensive introductory definition of a troll. Simply saying the word "troll" would have sufficed.
But by all means copy and paste from Merriam Webster as much as you please...
Is it normal my 4YO talks about ghost and killed people all the time?
