Jan1305: ......I have to keep on top of these changes as an English teacher to non-native speakers, and my guru is Professor David Crystal who is is one of the world's foremost experts on language.
I had to check your profile - yes you're English. What made me check it, is one of my many peves' is a person saying "I'm an English Teacher" when infact they are NOT English, but they may well be a 'Teacher of English'- Big difference. Texting language is probably my biggest peve. It took me a week to figure out a Text I received "I b L8" I thought it was the code to the Central Bank Another peve is ending a sentence with a preposition. This is a true story. While standing in the ticket line at Heathrow Airport, a passenger asked the clerk "What time is the next flight to to Dublin at?" The clerk raised his head slowly and said "Sir, one never ends a sentence with a preposition!!" Without missing a heartbeat, the passenger responded with
"What time is the next flight to Dublin at ..... BIMBO!!!"------ This thread is Archived ------

SensualVixen: I abhor the rhetorical question "How are you"?
I usually never answer it, but when I do be prepared. I go on and on about such crap, mainly the ingrown toenail on my left pinkie toe, people learn never to ask me that again......then I ask "aren't you happy now that you asked me that stupid question"?

pikengren - you hit the nail on the head. "Rights" have outweighed "Responsibility", yet with every 'Right' there is a corresponding degree of 'responsibility' but people don't want to hear that word. If your son had the courage to tell you he felt uncomfotable, then you have succeeded in teaching him values - well done.
