    That would be: Speak English.

    If you are learning programming, just forget about all the conio stuff. Text-based programs are good for learners for the very reason that they keep the distraction of making a user interface to the minimum.

    Most of my text-based programs are either written to test out ideas that might later go into a GUI program, or run without any screen output at all. So I see no point in learning how to dress up console output (unless you have to write a professional console application)..

    If you really need coloured text and other fancy stuff, you might find it in <windows.h>. Search MSDN for console-related topics.

    (By the way, I'm non-English, but they didn't teach me that "and" is spelled "n" and "the" "d".)

    I should be capitalized, am has two letters, writting has a g, that's has an apostrophe after the t, guys has a s not a z, with has th not d, have has an e, for should be capitalized, of course does not equal offcourse, just has a t, please is not plz, and you is not u. Plus, this sentence makes no sense:
