Hi, BRAHIM S
That �s exactly what I meant and nothing else. Thanks all for supporting the idea (not the person).
Dear eng789, why don �t you try to turn the page. It was a discussion that is over now. Unless...
Bye All

I never said I wouldn �t use the Canadian flag if we go with the idea.
Stop threatening me an start reading what I say. Politics is clouding your mind. Better yet, don �t address comments to me.
I like the idea of 2 flags 1- mother country and 1- where I work.

Guys, guys, come on now. Remember, that we don �t have tone of voices and facial expressions to help communication - so let �s not nit-pick and flip out at each other. We �ve all had a loooooooong week and finally we have the weekend to relax, kick the cat, break a window, scream at the TV and hang out! Ok?
(quick, someone tell a joke!!!)

It was not my intention to advertise anything
I just did not want to make a mistake when writing the users � names I was quoting, so I opted for the copy and paste |

Dear, eng789
What is going on here (between us) is exactly what I meant by this: " I think also, this kind of
misunderstanding is quite often the result of the fact we don �t
comprehend some specific aspects of the English language the same way
according to where we are from; natives or foreigners, teaching English
as a foreign language or as a second language..."
BTW I don �t like, worse I hate politics and politicians

It means that ( although this system of communicating is very fast), we all need to slow down and read what eachother is trying to say and not jump to conclusions.
Friends? |

Where is your Homework?
Teacher: Where is your homework? Pupil: I lost it fighting this kid who said you weren �t the best teacher in the school
(as if we teachers were born yesterday!!)
"I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book."

This reminds me of the student who began his Middle Ages story with:
"He was a dark and stormy knight...."

Q: What �s the difference between a teacher and a train?
A: The teacher says "Get that gum out of your mouth", where as the train says "Chew, Chew ".
