Hello, North American people.

I just thought I would come and annoy you.

Question - why do so many Americans go abroad to try to teach English when so few of you actually speak a decent version of it?

Having annoyed you, I will now retreat.

Fugging surrender-eating cheese monkeys

Dear stillnosheep,
For goodness sake - get it right.

It's - "cheese surrendering monkey eaters".

The "fugging", however, will do just fine.
Regards,
Jean

Hello, Brooks.

I am from Scotland, and grew up speaking fine broad Scots.

However, as we have (or had) a wonderful educational system in Scotland, we also learnt the language of those south of the border.

Hector,

Obviously geography isn't your strong suit. Otherwise you may have noticed that North America consists of more than the United States. I live in North America, but am definetly not american (no offence to those who are). I am just a proud Canadian! Very Happy
