-- Quoting THURSTON ACKERMAN to YURA EVDOKIMOV about Hi --
YE> Hello people. What English area do you know where I can
YE> improve my English exept this one?
TA> We generally like to be addressed as "folks" rather then
TA> "people"
"WE"? The corporate 'we' or Royal 'we' requires either a
corporation or being 'royal'. On FIDO it would be 'I' or 'me'.
I don't want to be addressed as 'folks' thank you very much and
'people' is fine with me (note the first person).
TA> and "accept" would be more correct then "exept" in this
TA> context if you don't mind my mention it Alex.
You misspelled 'except' and 'mention' should be 'mentioning'.
ESL anyone?
Yura was correct it is 'except' not 'accept' - they are not
interchangeable and you are wrong about this Thurston Ackerman.
TA> I suggest you might find it useful to participate in some
TA> of the several genealogy echos; where just about everyone
TA> is viewed as a "newbie" (slang for new unexperienced users
TA> 8-)
Its not "unexperienced" it's "inexperienced". Argh!
'NEWBE' is not slang it is an abbreviation for 'NEW BEGINNER'.
TA> and many may be looking for information on ancestors that
TA> have immigrated from old world countries.
"Old World"? Try 'Europe', it's less patronizing.
TA> Ciao, Ack.
How continental. 8)
Let me guess - Thurston Ackerman III - right?
BYE!
