Could you translate that question into English with enough detail to allow someone to possibly give you an answer?
Position? Employer? Country?

Check out his other posts... just read what showed up from his profile and they seem legit.
Perhaps this one was affected by late night imbibing?

The question has been formulated by a poster who has poor control over the syntactric structures of Modern Standard English.
Note especially the inability to formulate a question using the normal question forms. |

thinkin just the same there mate. 
But, let me say this: How he can ask such question on such board? Why he doesn't ask on another such? Finally, what happened to the pecking order of the helping verb "do" when used in a negative form? Why he doesn't get it as an English teacher? |

Although the thread title and the original post are poorly formed, I still understand what the poster meant, as do the rest of us. This, however, I simply have no clue about:

Anybody 
And it is shocking (more sad than shocking, actually) that an instructor would write like that, let alone [supposedly] an instructor of English. |

|

I hear some people wait 5 or 6 months then give up
I have been waiting three months and have turned down 9 other jobs since signing my preliminary contract
I think I may give it another month but I told the lady in Washington DC to tell me when I am getting it by the end f the month or I may have to take other jobs in other countries
My current contract pays me just under $4000 and I just turned down 4500 in Abu Dhabi caused I had already signed a contract with another school in Jeddah.
I will not bank on my visa till it happens. You never know what is going on behind the scenes. You have to set your own time limit. For me, 4 months is long enough. I insist on an answer or the return of my passport and documents by Dec 1.
The current delay may be due to Hajj but do I really want to work for a school that takes more than 4 months to arrange a visa.
You have to decide yourself at what point you throw in the towel. Are you going to wait 6 months or a year?
They may just withdraw the offer after 6 months. A preliminary contract and no visa guarantees nothing. |

Please, be civil. The auahmed guy is obviously not an English teacher and he/she was just trying to get some info. Just look at ourselves and see how many of us write in reasonably good, correct English. Many of us who haunt this forum are semi-literate, highly conceited, avaricious persons who masquerade as EFL teachers, and take home salaries which they should never get, just by the virtue of the colour of the skin and the cover of their passports. They wouldn't compose a good ten-line description of themselves in one day.
Why do we have so many morons among us is one question, the more important one being why they should be let to feel on cloud nine after maligning our less fortunate brethren?

Please read. I wasn't talking about that person. I was talking about saharastars.

Speak for yourself... I am a brown-skinned Asian who takes home 2/3 to 1/2 of what most of the people on here take home.
And if your idea of being civil is insulting people with choice adjectives, I would rather not be civil.

Speaking only for myself, I didn't feel on Cloud 9 after posting my post. I just feel if someone is going to post an English language message on an English teaching forum, it should be in English. Also, we don't really know who is posting or for what reason. So it's not easy to bypass a chance to let someone undercover know their cover is no longer, should that be their actual status.
On the other foot, it IS possible this was an honest query in less-than-good-English, in which case that OP would not feel really good about the tone of my--or others'--suspicious responses. |

Maybe his stress and anxiety was so high that it eroded his syntax and annihilated his grammar
Just a theory People shouldn't take these boards too seriously as most guys are just blowing off steam from being stressed out over something
I have seen these anxious posts before where I just scratch my head and say what on earth is this guy rantin about?
or more simply
English please |
