Well, this French Canadian from Quebec here (that would be me) uses the Canadian flag. English is my second language and I teach in Quebec (the province).... North of Quebec. We are getting 35 cm of snow today. I can �t get out of my driveway because I �m snowed in. This site is keeping me entertained today.
Have a good weekend to you all! |

Ok, eng789
Friends
But let me make this "Ubless..." clear.
First, I said "Unless...." not "otherwise..." which could be understood as a threat.
Then, I agree with you "Unless... " can be understood in many ways but in no way as a threat.
My complete thought was "Unless you do not understand my point."
Sorry if I offended you in any way

Maybe a good compromise would be for people to write more about themselves in their profile?
In mine I say where I come from (NZ) and where I am teaching now (in northern Sweden)
It only takes a minute to write a brief sentence 
I love knowing where people are from, but also where they are now! Also I love to hear people �s stories of why and how they came to be teaching in a country other than their own or how they got into ESL teaching and why!

Good point, cheezels.
Also, it would be nice if the name of the country was written somewhere (in the profile, or ... ) because not all people know ALL the flags. I sometimes have to look it up and see where the person is actually from. My flag is mistaken for a Russian one, so i had to make it clear in my profile that it is Serbian to avoid misinterpretation ..

Hey Ivona!!!
I use Firefox and I can see where you are from if I right-click on your flag and look under properties!
It says Serbia - loud and clear!!!

I use Explorer and when I put my mouse over the flag, the name of the country appears. |

Of course, I think it �s a wonderful idea... I am always wondering who is also a native here and who isn �t... It �s a curiosity more than anything else... maybe we could have a thread just for today, where people tell everybody a little bit about themselves... (and of course, that could later be added to their profiles...)

Too funny Ivona!
Here again we have those natives snorting away in their coffee cups.
If you write that they would clap for you - that �s fine.
If you mean a pat on the back - that is also fine.
But if they give you the clap - that is definitely not fine!!!
(the clap is slang for a sexually transferred disease)
