in reply to point out grammar mistake

I1 am new2, but have quickly become addicted to perlmonks because of the amazingly quick answers and numerous3 friendly monks. However, my poor English is indeed a barrier to communication. So, could you please point out grammar mistakes in my posts? I want to make myself understood clearly.4

  1. Being new to Perl is not relevant.
  2. "Newbie" is a bit of slang that I'd rather do without.
  3. Claiming a specific number like "thousands" without empirical evidence is unwise.
  4. You cannot reply without posting. ASAP is a cliche and an unnecessary acronym.

        Well, in the interest of excessive pedantry (and fun),

      You're right I kinda veered off topic a bit. Just having fun while perlmonks is quiet for the holidays.
