OT I agree 100 percent!

Yes but salmon is good for you.

Sure, I'll travel to Florida to make some old fart piss himself. Get real.

There are parts of Florida that are real South, but not many....

Coward?

I thought so......

So tell me what wrath you would bring upon me if I had the "courage" to call you a fascist idiot to your face?

When can I expect you?

You have me scared now, I want to know what you plan on doing to me. I mean you sound like one tough SOB, so I'm curious what a tough honcho like yourself would do.

He'll sit in your car for five minutes and leave it smelling like a wet diaper for the next three weeks. Beware.

ewwww, old person urine smell. Well a guys gotta make use of his strengths.

When can I expect you to arrive?

Any airport in Florida is ok by me....

I told you, you have me too scared. But I'd like to know about your fighting style. So what is it, what would you do to me? I'd like to know.

Right....

Yeah, you northern transplants are killing its southern cred by inches

Natalie

Well...I'm not really a northern transplant.

My growing up was in Dry Branch and Doraville Georgia.

Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah...now we have a different story: "prepared to learn English". An instructor from Berlitz once told me they consider themselves successful if an English speaking person can be truly fluent in a foreign language after two years of study. If we assume that's the same for non-English speakers learning our language (and we have no reason NOT to assume this), what are those people supposed to do while they're learning? Live in caves where nobody needs to interact with them?

I think has been the main sticking point - lack of communication (ha!) - in this thread. Giving people some leeway while they're learning English, or expecting them to be fluent as soon as their feet first hit U.S. soil?

Cathy

If he means "fluent when you get here", he's nuts, and a hypocrite. There are people born here who aren't fluent at all. If you're going to make a rule, it's got to apply to everyone.

This explains a lot.
