Friends coming over

Dear teachers...

Could you check this passage for 'bad English' ???


Hi Andy...

I wanted you to know that I very much enjoy reading your emails. Please keep them coming.

As for your message... well...you know... here in Carlson city (everybody is sad now cause the Rolts beat us, I kinda knew that was coming!!! Anyways, best luck next time, which will be right here next year).

Well... I was saying that here, our culture dictates that when those things happen, a bunch of people meeting up at a friend's, we usually write a note and post it right on the front door:

Welcome to the party... however, be aware that if you mess the shit up you will have to put your cloth on and hit the road.

Relax.. I am just screwing with ya. Ha...

In that case, the truth is that I am very proud of living in this city because our people is very welcoming and is known for its hospitality...people from every nation lives here, every colour, every-thing. So I would just open the doors wide and watch the game with everybody, we might hit it off, who knows? I would surely have some alone time with my girl later... you know, catch a break and stuff.

Best regards

Primo

Many thanks

Could you tell us what you mean by "bad" English? Certainly there is a lot of informality going on here, and it's probably intentional. A couple of things you could check are: cloth = clothes?

Hi offroad;
People is plural: e.g.:

Most people live in cities these days.
offroadour people are very welcoming
You need to check out the rest of that sentence for subject-verb agreement.
