Phil,

Im afraid your geography lesson hasnteth ended yet,
Using UK and Ireland together is generally accepted as covering the British Isles in its entirety, i.e. both parts of the island of Ireland.

Also, whether the constituent parts of the UK can be considered as countries is debatable.

Its only Melee's school which has forgotten Wales!

I am not sure how many Irish would agree with that Wink

Melee, I think now I've met two Welsh EFL teachers, and I was glad to hear them speak standard English, more clearly than the average natives of Ireland.

I can never find the question marks, I always forget where they are. I wish I could change the little symbols on the keys themselves. I spend a lot of time trying to find my punctuation.

Are there sticky dots that we can post on a standard keyboard, showing the proper signs like punctuation marks? Couldn't you make your own dots and stick them on your PC keyboard?
