Since English is as my second language, I keep saying to myself that I am here to learn and to be corrected, so please accept my apology if you're offended by me saying somewhat silly stupid. As said, I was not offering my advice, I was just trying to show you what I had learnt or read and ask you for your comments on what you think should be better under perception of native speakers of English. So anything other than that can be understood that I have failed to express the idea.

So, please continue helping me improve my English. I do need your help.

Thank you, Magaly, Cerberous, all.

it does sound a bit arrogant -- "it sounds" would be better here

I feel like I am being the victim of racism on this forum! - - Why did not you say "like a victim of racism..." ?

I am sure Anna did not take it the wrong way -- who can explain to me what this actually means?

i appreciate he is an English coach - can I use "appriciate" in that context? As for me it sounds a bit strange here

Do not press me because I'm not a coach and I don't use glasses :D

Let's discuss !

I don't remember where this came from; "does" puts extra stress on "sound", this could be done when the sounding is unexpected.

Err, well, I guess your example certainly is more standard. The author probably used this colloquial phrasing to stress the fact that the victimizing was still going on; he is not experiencing a weepy feeling - he conjectures that it is true that he is being victimized. Besides, he probably had "being victimized" at the back of his mind.

I am sure Anna did not take it the wrong way -- who can explain to me what this actually means?
This should probably not be taken too seriously. It means that the author is convinced that she did not interpret it in the wrong way, i.e. that she was not insulted.

i appreciate he is an English coach - can I use "appriciate" in that context? As for me it sounds a bit strange here
Yes, it can be used meaning "to be aware of something, to understand it"; though it is perhaps less common with "that".
