ET is great!!! no it isnt, yes it is, no it isnt, yes it is, etc
Istanbul is a great place to live no it isnt, yes it is, no it isnt, yes it is, etc
EFL is aprofessional career no it isnt, yes it is, no it isnt, yes it is, etc

Can we move on and not have every second thread the same round and round argument?

I have stopped answering newbie questions because i can predict the answer and know how the thread is going to develop.

Last night my g/f said that she no longer answers anything 'cos she feels intimidated by it.

I'm sure this forum is for something else.

Anyone else agree?

I don`t remember anyone saying that ET was great. Even the few that ET have bought and will sell someday don`t say it is great. They do however sometime say that it is no worse than others or that great one-liner it is getting better.

We were talking about great place not nice place.

Didn`t your teacher at Istanbul Valiligi TC Kenan Evren Lisesi teach you not to use nice. There are so many better adjectives than nice.

Yeah totaly, the same thing is being said over and over again. Speaking as someone who's been on the telly and in newspaper and everything I'd like to hear something different for once.

Why don`t you introduce yourself first before just jumping right in?

Yeah he said be nice to newbies. But newbies need to be nice to non-newbies. If you could search my posts you would see that I introduced myself before jumping in.

Have you worked for ET or have I put you off?

It must be hard to find a TEFL job being a non-native given the native speaker obsession here.

ET are apalling but it is a job.
