Introducing Tidus!

Question

Hi everybody, I'm Tidus. I live in England and I'm a native speaker of English. I hope I can help those who are learning English, and also re-learn some things myself that I've forgotten over the years where grammar is concerned.

Any examples I offer of English usage will be UK English and I'm likely to try to stick to the context of what is being asked so that I don't confuse anybody by giving too many interpretations. As a native, I'll might also be useful for how things are said in everyday English rather than being grammatically correct.

I'm also originally from Glasgow, so I'm fluent in Glaswegian - which isn't an official language, but is extremely difficult to understand for anyone not familiar with it. Anyone is more than welcome to ask for translations!

Welcome to the club!

So you must be a Rangers fan?

Is Glaswegian what Irvine Welsh's using in his novels? Or that's the dialect in Edinburgh, I guess?

Hi Tidus,

Welcome aboard. The pay is not good, but the work is interesting.

Best wishes, Clive

Hi Tidus,

May I roll out the red carpet? This is certainly is the most active forum I have come across and the best; although we may not agree completely on everything at time. Welcome!

Thanks all! No need to waste a red carpet on me, and everywhere I go, I always find that pay could be a bit better! Oh, and by default, I'm Celtic rather than Rangers, even though I don't really follow footie that much!

It's Edinburgh speak that Welsh uses in his novels, Marius - even I don't understand what some of it means at times!
