Thanks, ed_shaw.

So it seems you are new among us. Tell me about yourself. Are you a native speaker? Which country?

Hello, Tom:

Thank you for the kind expression of of interest.

A native speaker, I have always lived in the United States.
I have a great deal of experience with on-line English
coaching for ESL and others, experience gained in
other on-line forums similar to this one.
Circumstances caused me to abstain from this volunteer
work for some number of years. I missed doing the work,
so, when circumstances allowed me to resume the work,
I registered in this one, which I am enjoying.
Normally, I log in once a day, sometimes twice, and
look for unanswered posts.
Again, thanks for asking.

Best wishes,

Ed Shaw
