Really. Then you understand that "english" is really "English"?

That Masters is helping you how?

So you understand the missing comma in that sentence? And can you
possibly explain how you are incapable of using a spell-check
program? I guess "foriegn" agencies don't care.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that.

And what is your point?

That would be "English". Do you mean those who are of English
extraction, or are you somehow talking of those who understand the
language? Yeah, the degree, right?

That would be "past-time" for those communication majors paying
attention. And just to point out the obvious, you have proven why
"tat" should never be used to refer to a tattoo. But then again, you
have the Masters. You understood that.

Lazy communication was taught at your University? I'll bet you aced
that course.

The fact that you don't understand the difference makes me very, very
sad. Please, where did you get that Masters?
What I pointed out, as did others, was tat does not mean the same as
tattoo.

I doubt it. I understand the language mush better than you. By the
way, what University granted you the Masters in Communication? And
please, just where did you teach College-level English?
