I thought Gator understood very well the "runt" comment and the slant of the verbiage. The inference of his limited English usage is unfounded. His posts are well written and understandable. Half cocked is an opinion, a not well understood one.

What is it about those that stay close to home? They also don't use the library also? What kind of inference is meant by "those that stay close to home"? I guess local dialect throughout the U.S. is a sign lack of good English usage?
I can't help but think that use of the English language should involve having some sense.

Interesting the Oxford English Dictionary was compiled at Oxford.
The 70 years of compiling for it's release, Wednesday, June 6th, 1928 happened at the 148th Derby Day, at the Derby Ball of the Earl of Derby's great race. The 40-1 underdog Felstead won over the favorite Fairway.
The ball was Up in London, it was always Up, except for those who lived in Oxford, who regarded going everywhere else as Going Down. Residents did not leave town much to forsake the sanctity of their hallowed home turf.
The first two copies were given to King George V and Pres. Calvin Coolidge. So, I guess from that day on, we should be on par with each other. But then again, it is called English. 
Compiler James Murray was best man for Alexander Graham Bell's wedding and had been given the telephone number of 1.

You try and you try. Well, here we go again. I got into this the first time to reply to a newbie, defend a long time resident and to remind everyone what DJ himself said about the board. I ended up getting attacked and defending myself. Now a new comer steps into the ring again to challenge me. Besides being supportive to him in other threads, I don't remember saying jack squat to or about him and have been oh so vicously wounded I think I might never recover. NOT!!!
Quote:| Gator...have an idea what an "ex_pat" is? |

Duh. If I use your benign definition, I was one myself. If I use the extreme definition (I assume someone of your alleged intelligence knows what that one is), I shall never be. Which are you?
Quote:What ex_pat_asian writes is both clear, and understandable by many that are not EFL skilled...
It seems to be only Americans (Americans do seem, for the most part, to be very lazy when it comes to language skills.....and do not try taking that as an insult...I am one also) that may have a problem with what he writes |
|
Tell that to Ueli and Pubgirl and probably several others who just didn't say so either to be polite or to keep from looking stupid. And you sir are a prime example of what you appear to think of Americans. So high and mighty you even presume to look down on other Americans. Well done.
Quote:| Sorry to comment and add fuel to this already hot fire...but it was just such a riot seeing someone that most likely has never stepped foot outside of the state that they were born in attempt to explain non-English speakers to a person who is living in a culture so far removed to anything that they could imagine as to be unreal.. |
|
No, I doubt that you were sorry to comment on anything. You seemed in fact to take great pride in what you consider your intelligence and worldliness.
As far as me never stepping foot out the state I was born in? Try this on for size:
*March 15, 1963 Born Ft. Riley, Kansas
*During my childhood lived in Junction City, KS; Decatur, IL; Waco, TX; Irving, TX; Lancaster, TX; Gatesville, TX; Clover Leaf, TX; Beverly Hills, TX; Lecompte, LA
*June 1992 Married and moved to Alexandria, LA
*June 1983 to June 1984 Sondrestrom, Greenland
*July 1984 to September 1987 Tacoma, WA
*June 1985 Re-married to a Korean woman and lived in a predominantly Korean neighborhood
*July 1984 to September 1987 Numerous excursions into Canada and Mexico
*October 1987 to October 1988 Song Tan Si, Republic of Korea
*November 1988 to November 1991 Misawa, Japan
*June 1989 Crow Valley, Republic of the Philippines
*Currently living in Oklahoma.
*During a 2 year stretch of doing computer consulting, I worked in Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado, Utah, Montana, Washington, New Jersey, Georgia and South Carolina.

I think I know enough about traveling and dealing with people of different cultures and nationalities to say you can take your worthless "just in case" apologies and go piss up a rope.
I do have some advice for you. All you know about me or anyone else on this board is what we tell you and what you interpret and assume from our writings. You don't know me. I'd be a little slower to assume otherwise.

But hey, I'm just a dumb old country boy, so what do I know.
