Masataka, The fools who criticize other people's grammar and spelling should be ignored. If they don't agree with you but can't prove their point they will lash out at you with petty things like that. It holds true for any dumb people in any language. I think your French and English are pretty good myself, better than some native speakers. :) Mary-Lou Masataka Noda wrote: > People who are criticizing my English skills in Canada is equally like > I am criticizing Japanese skills for people who came from China or > Korea, for example, in Japan (which I am NOT doing), to poke fun and > to prevent making one's opinions as well as to bash one into hell. > I determine that such practise is acceptable in Canada (at least for > some anglophones) by reading the responses in the newsgroups.
