Hi, my name is Jerome. I'm a student tutor.

[Jerome.M]

Hello everyone. I came across this forum while searching "for vs. because" and thought this would be a great resource for me because I am a student tutor in math and English at the university I attend. A great portion of the students here are esl and sometimes I need to explain, in depth, why something is wrong when said a certain way. As a native speaker I can tell when something is not proper, but i cannot always explain just why. I hope that i can get help as well as provide it while I'm here.

Jerome, I too am a native of England, and you really should know better than to use small-case I when typing.

Not a criticism, only a suggestion, as others here, not knowing the difference, will surely follow suit.

not capitalizing i (I) is more of a laziness thing, ha ha.

Jerome, if you want to become a teacher / tutor, then you will just have to kick the laziness thing into touch, or you may just pass it on to the next generation.
