| A Ras al Khaimah TESOL Arabia regional workshop a couple of years ago featured a presentation on Dynamic Ways to Use a Whiteboard. |

John,
In keeping with the erasable whiteboard theme, unfortunately I took all my notes on a mini-whiteboard which subsequently got erased. And thus disappeared my dreams of Stand and Deliver. |

Actually, paper cutouts are not the best way to teach grammar. Coloured circles on the board are better by far, as I have expounded at length in "Visual Graphicisation in Post-learning Demysticisation of Technical Aspects of the Language Learning Device", the thesis for one of my many PhDs.
I have also discussed it in detail in my bestselling, critcally acclaimed books "The Ultimate EFL Teacher's Guide" and "Successful TEFL". Both books, unfortunately, are unavailable in the middle east!

You will be receiving a nomination in next year's Nobel Prize if we have to knock on the doors of the selection panel ourselves.  .

Dear shadowfax,
And that would be the Nobel Prize for Literature (i.e. fiction), I assume.

| No, Sir, that with which we have to do here is without doubt a pure and unadulterated science. I believe it could well answer all the criteria for the physics prize. |

Dear shadowfax,
"I believe it could well answer all the criteria for the physics prize.:
In an alternate universe, perhaps. But then, Saudi Arabia IS an alternate universe.

| Actually, ours is the alternative universe; 007's is the real one. |

Definitely, my universe is a real and an accurate one, because it is based on numerical solution, and there is only one solution in my universe�s domain!
Now, le'ts see why the Americans use the word 'alternate' instead of 'alternative'? Of course, the British are on the opposite side! 
Is there really an alternate universe?
Well, let�s not blow alternately cold and hot on this: the alternative to holding the line (understanding the words to mean the above) is fuzziness. |

Oh God, 007 is giving English lessons now. Talk about fuzziness. That reminds me, please see my future posts for calculus lessons. I am also chairing the United Nations Commission Conference on the Development of Cold Fusion, in Geneva, next month. I invented cold fusion.

I think you mean "Cold Fashion, in Geneva", seeing how it is pretty cold over there |

| Ha ha...would you believe my typo was deliberate? No? In that case, I am also a world-famous fashion designer. |
