It is scarey to think I make my living teaching English to Japanese, when I write garble like that, isn't it!?
Let's see. Excuse #1 It's Japanese-English (actually it is) This is how you start speaking your native tongue when you have lived over seas too long - over identification with hosts. Excuse #2 "Message In a Bottle" this is how you start speaking after you "go drinking" (yes, Japanese don't "Have a drink", they "Go drinking!") with your hosts. You know, don't drink and drive; don't drink and forum! Excuse #3 2:00 a.m. Japan time zone is no different than 2:00 a.m. back home - Go to bed! Excuse #4 All of the above ... most likely
Like I tell my students, "Well, it probably could have been said better, but I think the "meaning" is there, somewhere in the sentence!"
And no, I have no special S*R privileges. I'm in line with every other forum member.
I "will" borrow from Frank Ryan here, though - "Have a gread day everyone!"
I can sympathise with you as being a North American English is not your mother tongue. I was born and bred in Berkshire so English is my mother tongue although if you here us country yokels talking you may wonder where on earth you are.
Dear Dave
A pity. I thought you were the first with the news and the pics like Reuters. A lot of the time I am the tail ender* on the e mails. I think this is to do with time differences.
Not long left if Strelets are to meet the Sept 2006 release date.
* tail enders in cricket are the last (usually worst) batsmen in the innings. There must be something similar in baseball.
I was the "Tail Ender" in my school days which sadly meant, I was the last one chosen - by both teams. I was always permanently planted out of the way in right field where there was no action!
I "played" Lacrosse but for 99.99% of the games from the far end of the bench. That doesn't take away from the fact that I loved the game and still do !
