Here's one more question for you personally.

Do you enjoy patronizing people?

Or do you always assume that people who are bad at English have mental illness?

The reason I didn't go into further details like "putting the hand in front of your mouth" is because I thought it was clear enough for you guys to understand what word I wanted to know.

But you proved to me that there's a stupid one among you.

Here's a piece of advice for you. If you're having a bad day, don't take it out on someone in the forums. Take a some fresh air outside instead.

I teach English to immigrants from many countries, and they often have different ideas about what is polite and what is impolite in Canada. In short, they want to be taught both the English language and its cultural context, and I do my best to help them. I find that many people on the Forum appreciate similar assistance.

It was not my intention to be offensive or patronizing, and I regret that my words seemed that way to you.

Dear Clive,

Whatever was the real purpose for adding that extra statement in your first post, I'll never know if you told the truth or not. But at least, you apologized and I'll accept it.

And I'm sorry for calling you names. I didn't really mean it. I was just so upset that I lost control.

I've always respected you both as a teacher and as a person because I know that you, and among other english teachers in this forum, have helped me improve my english a lot.

That's why it was so shocking to me when that post came from you.

Again, I'm sorry for my previous offensive post. Peace.
