| Well, one thing is certain: based on the number of grammatical, punctuation, spelling, syntactical and idiomatic errors... |
Bebs, from the perspective of a syntactician, technically speaking that should be 'syntactic errors' as opposed to 'syntactical errors'!  .
Of course, this is just to cavil, but it goes to show, the rights and wrongs in English usage aren't as unequivocal as one might expect!

Thanks God that I am a non native speaker, and I think, with my current English, I can communicate with native speakers like VS and the others 
Happy new year. |

| I am definately not picking on 007, I genuinly miss him when he doesnt respond, its as though things arent right in the world, or at least Dave's ESL Cafe Saudi Arabia. |

what about your very own JIA, Graftonstreet ? - you guys should be able to sort him out. Take him on .. say without pay for 6 month or so and train him up .. Tis Christmas after all .. |
Yes,what about Jubail Industrial College?He could at least try there,After all,the recruitment man really does not like native speakers of English. |
Yeah..a smart cookie never speaks English (or Polish) in the JIC.Walls have ears. |
