Your spelling is fine so far, but the grammar could use a little work. But that's just me nitpicking. Sad thing is that many people who take English as a second language learn it better than we do. Scary, no?

Not a bad effort there. Capitalise the "i" and replace "way" with "why" and it would be perfect

Standard British English is my first language, and I do use dictionaries. Both the book and online ones, whichever is more convenient. Whenever my "Spellcheck Senses" tingle, I refer to a dictionary to verify the spelling.

I learned english for about 10 years in school and I love to watch films or play games in english (you can say that I am an "angliophile"). But I don't use a dictionary (mostly because I'm too lazy to get up from my chair, cross the room and pick it up ). If I can't think of the words I need, I try to circumvent them and describe the things I want to say 'the alternative way' (like now [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] ).

Yes, occasionally, but I tend to have more problem with grammar than spelling. There's that little voice in the back of my head that tells me what I'm about to type is wrong. It does not, however, tell me the correct spelling and grammar, the cheap bastard.

No. I speak English fluently(is that a word anyway) and my spelling is also very good. [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img]

I use a dictionary only if I really need to. I speak excellent english, write with almost no grammar errors or misspellings. I'm such an "anglophil" that sometimes I even find myself thinking on english. How weird is that?

Whenever you have the letter i by itself, it should always be an I. I'm not sure why.

Also, in your first sentence, there should've been an apostrophe in dont (ie don't) but that's just me being a perfectionist.
