Whats wrong with my English?

I know that my English isn't that great. But, Why do people tell me that I'm illiterate? They even told me my grammar wasn't correct. I'm tired of these guys, in League of Legends, telling me the same old stupid phrase like oh go back to school you dumb illiterate < insert race here >. Anyways, can someone who is literate in English rephrase what I just said? Maybe I'll understand a bit more. The point of this thread is to help me see the difference between my English and the right one. Btw, English is my second language so please don't be too harsh you guys. I'm very sensitive. help....... </3

Because in a game where the language is pretty much English by default, people except English speakers to play it.
Am I the only one that doesn't go and play foreign games or go to foreign websites that are all in French or Spanish or something?

Interestingly, you are more worried about other people's comment about your english litteracy on the internet.

Fact remains that on the internet, there are people who are native english and have worse english litteracy than you do.

If someone complaining about your literacy, they are denying the fact that your competence is better than theirs. You can reply them back: "English is not my mother's tongue. Thank you very much"

Your English is understandable, but it's structured a bit weirdly. The above poster explains things pretty well.

[quote=goldyboi] But, Why [/quote]
This didn't really need to be its own sentence, you could have just put a comma before "but". Also "why" shouldn't be capitalized.

No need for the commas.
[quote=goldyboi] old stupid phrase like oh go back to school you dumb illiterate < insert race here >. [/quote]
There should be quotation marks around "oh go back to school you dumb illiterate <insert race here."
[quote=goldyboi] see the difference between my English and the right one [/quote]
Not really a grammatical issue, it's just that "the right one" doesn't really apply to how you speak a language.

Anyway, all those errors are minor, your English is fine. You're one of the few people on the Internet who capitalizes I and uses an apostrophes correctly. Don't worry about it too much.
