Carl96190: Er . . . no. You should be thanking the British for dragging your arses out of a squalid mediaeval feudal nightmare. Also, if I get one more telephone call from someone in the subcontinent who is trying to sell me something I am going to scream.
well,hope you'll have a great New Year,and need to make plenty Phonecalls to a fore mentioned Subcontinent to get Consumer-Support for your Computer!
Aswina: Thanks, Native English Speakers, for patience and indulgence to non-native users of English Language; do not forget, all you are teachers of language sometimes for us.
oh.....it looks like you have got it totally wrong, aswina! this thread is about non-native english speaking people receiving thanks from the native english speakers!
In response to: yeap....that's right my dear native english speaking people. if we, the non-native english speaking people, didn't learn your language, you would never be able to talk to us good folks from all around the world. So, all you, native english-speaking people, need to say is a big "thank you" to us non-native english-speaking people.
Yes a great big THANK YOU for taking the time to learn our language..it is a kind of screwy language with one words having many meanings isnt it
pops666: Yes a great big THANK YOU for taking the time to learn our language..it is a kind of screwy language with one words having many meanings isnt it

Or the other way around:
Had we the non-native English speakers, learn English, we could not communicate with them.
Yash124g: Well, RDM and I come form the same place as Sir Sean
Though Pat has Robert Carlyle..(partly why he plays baddies a lot)
Got me wondering about your accent now.. (singing not a requirement )..
I speak to people from all over the planet daily at work and I frequently tell them...people from the American midwest do not have an accent...we speak FLATLY. Completely uninteresting, I assure you! LOL!

I always know what I speak about. I create mostly meaningful sentences, do not worry. I wish the same to you!
presuming_m: Aswina can I just say that I admire how you take a screwed up language like English and manage to make yourself completely understood. Much better than some people who present themselves as native English speakers on here! You always have something thoughtful and interesting - or just plain funny - to say. I look forward to your posts!
As for all the other who put up with us snobby English speakers - thank you! I for one have always wanted to learn Italian!
Good Luck with learning Italian Language and thanks a lot for your comment, I appreciate a lot. All the best to you Lovely Lady
