Indeed!

Here´s my official name:

I do prefer the owl to the plumbing pipe and peppermint candy cane.

Mine is:

Doesn´t the owl symbolize wisdom? he he

I actually agree with Cynic here (in principle, I don´t know anything about ESL in Turkey). I´ve had experience when taking Spanish with a native speaker who was not a trained teacher as well as with a non-native "real" teacher. The only thing going for the native was the pronounciation and the accent. She wasn´t able to explain the grammar at all. Being a native speaker does not make one automatically qualified to teach the language, in my opinion, just as I know I wouldn´t be able to teach anybody Polish. I also had a few Turkish classes with a native speaker, and I encountered the same problem, as she wasn´t able to explain the grammar well and ultimately I think I learned much more by myself (and of course with the help of the wonderful people at TLC) than with her.

So you mean I´m not the atheist evangelist?

I think she was talking about me, I recall she didn´t like me criticizing the impact of religions on people´s behavior. However when DD posted a summary of what I said she applauded her post.  

Easy for you to say ... you´re just the runner-up. But keep in mind, if something happens to me, the prize goes to YOU!  

Good thinking, he could always jump off the bus! You saved me girl!

Yes, what she said. I need to see the certificate of completion.

I don´t know, I might just need to sacrifice myself and give it to you ... but not until I see you on that Grayhound!  

You´re pure evil!

Oh bless you my child. I was writing my last will and testament already.

Now how do we convince HIM to take it?
