For me at least, it taught me one hell of a lot about writing. Just reading stories on the afore-mentioned archives has improved my vocabulary, writing, grammar, punctuation, you name it.
The same for me. Two years ago, I barely spoke English (I did use online translator to read a story (at least to help me) my reviews were what I read before (just a copy) (eg lovely story; keep up the good work etc). I really hated English in high school, at university, I only chose German and so on. Then many years later, I had problems. Now, I'm better, I even write drabbles from time to time, my English is better (I do not use online translators anymore *giggles* I read quickly books and fanfictions in English etc. It's really nice! And I also made great friends here!
. I read one author's profile who actually proclaimed that she has a different ID that she uses to review for whatever reason.
I know that acadia elle has a different ID. I don't know why, when I found out, I thought it was ridiculous. Especially the way she explains her joice in her profile (ash).
