							|  Thank you guys for giving me a good start of my day. I loved listening to that prof.  I �m sure I would have loved attending his lectures. The picture below is how I see English nowadays, especially as my abilities to speak in general are deteriorating at a rapid rate. (My medication affects the brain and the saliva supply, which are both needed to speak any language.) Thanks again for making me laugh. But remember, when the gloves come off, to be nice at all times.    Cheers, Peter   |  22 Jul 2015

							| Well said, Peter. I �m very pleased to see you. I �m going onto the teachers � cafe now to see if you �ve posted there. All the best. 
 Edit: Alex - yes, I did remove my post, but you certainly hadn�t replied to it by then - I wouldn�t have done that. I�ve also edited this one slightly as I realise that mentioning wss is advertising and not allowed.

							| Great to see you �re still hanging in there, Peter! 
 EDIT  Lynne, I had started my response, was called out of the room for a short while, returned, completed the post and hit �send�. Didn�t notice you had deleted your post until today. Apols. |  23 Jul 2015
