Some time ago I created a topic about bad vegan arguments, and it got little attention, but BrimstoneSalad (no surprise there) suggested that I could improve my English. This lead to a month or two of inactivity dew to the fact that It played on a long time insecurity of mine. Although I can't find the post now he suggested that a likely reason my linguistic skills are poor is because its not my first language, this theory is likely evident to be false now.
I have read some of my earlier post's and this has lead me to believe that the problem is at worst lessened lately. Anyway I am looking for feedback on if you think this is true or not?

adjusting to criticism about myself.
vegan: to exclude—as far as is practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for any purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, animals and the environment.

Re: adjusting to criticism about myself.
I definitely think your posts now are better than your posts from awhile ago. Some words that you used to have issues with are fixed now, like 'although' and 'there'. Also, you're generally capitalizing 'I' now when it's supposed to be capitalized, and you're usually capitalizing the first letters in sentences. 
I could probably find other improvements if I searched through your posts, but I think that's enough to show that your writing has gotten better.

HUGE improvement. And very quick too. Good job on that.
Make sure your browser has a spelling and grammar checker enabled, and pay close attention to any highlighted words. If you're not sure about a word, search it.
The best way to improve is to write more, and just keep working at it when you make mistakes.
I compulsively look up words, even ones I've used for a long time, and I STILL find mistakes in my English. Everybody makes them.
Only one error jumps out recently, which is "dew" which should be "due".
The other is "lead", which is present tense. Past tense is "led", but hardly anybody would be able to spot that, so the small errors you don't have to worry about unless you're a perfectionist like I am.
Really great improvement.
