Oh, yes, being a foreign guy I should know better than mocking other people's English, but this is just plain outrageous.

I swear, I thought you were going to link to one of my reviews.


PEGGY: I don't see how having a girl on the team would ruin it. Did a woman judge ruin the Supreme Court?
HANK: Yes, and that woman's name was Earl Warren.

...And I thought you were going to call me all sort of names for posting unrelated funny videos on a film board.

I'm aware I'm becoming "the funny videos guy" lately, so I'll try to restrict their numbers and write OT in the title in the future, is that fine with you?

I always find this sort of thing amusing.

Anyway, your use of the English language shows a lot more care and ability than quite a few Americans I could name.



BM: I should have mentioned this at the beginning. I solve my problems with violence.

Not to repeat, but you use capitals, full stops, etc. correctly. You even placed an apostrophe properly in the your message, which seems to be beyond the capabilities of even (supposedly) intelligent people, AND spelt 'outrageous' properly.

Thanks for the link, Neville.

I, for one, welcome our odd-internet-video-posting
Overlords for whom English is a second language.

The fact that you have to put a lot of extra thought
into what you write when you write it in English
does show. I'm sure that when writing in spanish
you make the same sorts of errors we native english
speakers make (forgetting punctuation, etc.).

Keep up the good work, amigo en cinema malo.

MikeC, probably got the spanish wrong

I had no problem getting to it but the text on the link has the strange habit of disappearing when you put the pointer on it. Was that done on purpose?

It's "cine", not "cinema", otherwise the sentence is perfect. And yes, obviously I have to put more care in what I write in English than when I use Spanish. It was worse at the beginning, because the English I've learnt has little to do with the English people actually use on boards like this one.

Guess I still sound a bit too academic sometimes, and now and then I notice I tend to write too long sentences, as they are more usual in my native tongue.

I'll keep the videos rolling if nobody has anything against it.

No Problamo, Compadre.
You are a smart cookie, and its cool to know someone who can see the subject material at hand from another angle.
Also : Please forgive my many spelling errors...I went to AMERICAN public school....trust me, it was better a long, long time ago, when i was young...sad, realy...
