Reply to comment by Psykout88 in Can elephants canter or gallop? by [deleted]

I see now, it's also because I misunderstood the use of galloping and running at first so I got confused, I am also not very good at writing and wording.

I apologize you for my mistakes both in the comment and in the message too. I never want to sound impolite, I just want to discuss with you guys but English is not my first language.

This is more likely a cultural thing rather than language thing. Your sentence structure and vocabulary are completely fine, you are just missing the nuances of how to navigate the conversation.

It's like the difference between an argument and a debate. If you are entering a conversation to change someone's mind but willing to let yours change too, that's a debate/discussion. If you are entering a conversation only to change others minds, that's an argument. It definitely looked like you were just trying argue, but obviously that wasn't the case as you just didn't have all the information and tools yet.

No I never want to argue or change anyone's mind, I just wanted to discuss normally, but it look like the way I wrote it really misleads people.
