And "swahili stuff" is insulting. LOL! Yeah, sure, who is going to feel insulted by that? Black Africans and Europeans I very much doubt it. It's a phrase I use often in speech (to mean anything that's not Anglo) and it has never caused offence. You mean Anglos look down on everybody who is not Anglo ? Given they all want to come here after having allowed their own countries to fall apart, don't expect any concessions from me. Ye shall reap what ye shall, and all that. No wonder 'American' is synomimous with 'monolingual'. Since when? American is merely synonymous with ignorance. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

Then why do you spend your time correcting trivial typos and grammatical errors? Especially since she's the person who wrote, in another thread today, "I *love* the Insight Guides - but I liked their previous format better, when it had a tad less pictures and much more information." That of course should be "fewer pictures," not "less pictures." People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Magda is *such* a tiresome old bag... -- Best Greg |

Sadly, Magda, the opinion of someone English mother tongue is worth ... ... ... more. Sorry! Here's the sentence corrected, in English (UK): Sorry love, but there's bugger all you've got on native speakers of the Queen's English. Here's the sentence corrected, in American English: Um, uh, OK. Well, uh, it was good. But, like, since the other guy, like, probably does this more, then, like, um...then I'd have to say it was him. - TR |
