Did you learn anything you didn’t know before?

You’d be amazed.

John, you like to teach yourself? How much have you learned from your teaching?

Thank you all for your support.

I am pretty comfortable in both languages. I actually work for a translation/interpreting company here in Denver. Because I know both languages well, I make sure that none of our clients end up with Engrish translations.

It is partly an issue of money. I love teaching myself (that probably comes as no surprise) and would be doing it if I could make anywhere near the money I make as a clinician. I used to teach developmental psychology to education majors, and most classes included about five gifted teachers, and 25 other people who washed out of something else. I thnk the whole educational system needs to be completely redone from kindergarten to graduate school.

Schools must have gone downhill since I got out… Is there cake in the library?

By: blueJade

blueJade — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 16:11:09 +0000

Don’t get me started. I volunteered in my kids school until she got in middle school. It isn’t the teachers or lack of money, it is the control aspect. The pretty library is a lie. Nothing in it is a challenge to the students; and that’s the way they like it, because a student who looks for intellectual challenge is just as much trouble to the system as a delinquent.

Ah, I see. That is good to hear.

It is a sad day for this country when ESL people are more fluent in the language than most of the native speakers. Don’t they teach English in school anymore?

By: paws4thot

paws4thot — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:04:24 +0000

laconejita, I wouldn;t eat your face or body, but the main reason for that is that you’re married to some lucky bar steward who isn’t me!

And, as others, your English is better than that of many native speakers I know (both spelling and grammar).

I have very good filters, don’t have my own blog, and hardly ever post on sites that don’t use the WordPress or BlogSpot engines, both of which have very good privacy filters.

Yes, since you had previously identified yourself as Mexican, I had suspected English might not be your first language. And given that, your proficiency is amazing. I deal daily with educated, native-speaking professionals who do not write English as well as you. (And, I might note, some of them are not as much fun to play with as you are, either!) I told you when you first got here I hoped you’d stick around, since you got me good with that zinger about trading in my brain in the “cash for clunkers” program. That one still makes me smile! I love a clever, sharp retort, even if I’m the one who feels the sting.

You use the language well, much better than most native speakers. Having more than one language is fantastic!

John,

So if I get corrected frequently by you, I shouldn’t feel persecuted, but instead feel lucky that you read my post and check for mistakes. Ohh that makes sense. Thanks.

I already have a troll that follows me around, but it’s weird to have someone, I am not familiar with, all of the sudden try to eat me. I haven’t even gotten to that point with you guys that I see as friends. (except for that awkward situation I had with Meowth, where I had to tell him to cut it out.)

JohnB, one more final thought. You have to give me some credit. English is my second language. I can speak and write English well. When other native speakers speak and write good.

Well, if that’s the way you treat your femail, we’ll just have to see whether it delivers.

Is anyone here registered mail? Check for the microchip, or possibly a tattoo, that should be a dead giveaway.

By: Meowth

Meowth — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:53:10 +0000

Oh, I gave it a chance. Not only does it quote other trolls, it also shouted the S word at the top of the next funny! Somebody should get all ordinal on that one over there… Where is Paws?

By: JohnB

JohnB — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:50:11 +0000

Unless they’re obvious trolls, I try to give them a chance before I make up my mind.

By: Meowth

Meowth — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:43:41 +0000

I’d be happy not having ever known ShadowSplicer existed. You see one troll, you’ve seen them all.

By: JohnB

JohnB — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:38:19 +0000

Hey, I correct everybody from time to time. If I seem to do it more to you, that just means I actually find your posts valuable enough to read carefully, and/or because you’re fun to play with. Actually, in this case I wouldn’t have corrected you, since your question might have been rhetorical, and it’s OK to put a period after a purely rhetorical question. I don’t think you really wanted to know ShadowSplicer’s answer. I’m beginning to think I don’t, either.

By: Meowth

Meowth — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:38:51 +0000

Luckily for Droll, he is not a troll. I’m beginning to think you might be. Wait a minute… Did you just shout the S word at the top of the next funny? You are a troll. I think we’re done here. Goodbye.

Because I am not an idiot. Trolls are idiots.

I meant to have a question mark after the first sentence.

Why would you eat my face?

I have to correct myself, because otherwise JohnB or Anna Rexia will point out my mistakes.

By: laconejita

laconejita — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:10:16 +0000

Why would you eat my face. Everyone else would go after my body.

Okay, Mexican rabbit girl. Do you eat a lot of carrots?

You are not the first troll to say that to me. Sorry, someone else beat you to it.

I have a fairly good spam filter, judging by the volume of spam it keeps out of my main box every day, and as far as I know it’s never put a legit e-mail in there. But somehow people still find ways to break through. They can be pretty crafty. I once got a VERY official-looking e-mail from a bank I have an account at asking me for account numbers and passwords “for security purposes.” Fortunately I wasn’t born yesterday and sent it on to my actual bank.
