| Not quite sure what you mean, dear thrifty- I am writing from Dubai, where I am spending october, as well as heading to Oman at the end of the week for about 10 days.

Exactly.
I think that thrifty should be most "peeved" by those TEFLers (like himself) who have never lifted a finger to escape the bottom rung of the ladder. Every profession has bottom feeders. But mature people quickly climb up from the entry-level jobs in language schools and so-called colleges and unis. The chronic losers never make that transition. |

| On the subject of "bottom feeder schools" I think Thrifty has found his niche there maybe he could try working somewhere else,somewhere better,can't be that difficult . |

| Thrifty, you don't like the people who 'treat TEFL seriously' and you don't like TEFLers without reasonable qualifications. Isn't getting a 'reasonable' qualification taking the job a bit, er, seriously? |

To show that the 'a' and the 'i' are sounded separately and not as a diphthong. Didn't you learn anything in school ?
The 'double dot' is a diaerisis. |
