I am learning English, I can read and write enough to get by. People are quick to correct anything I don't get right. πŸ˜‰

I notice though they don't correct others who even I see have miss spelled something just me majority of time, unless the person gets on their bad list! πŸ™‚

Not since back in the old west days here, but still makes me smile! I don't really concern myself much about the Engerlish, they understand or they will not, I think they sometimes pretend not to. Like selective hearing, they have selective eye sight and understanding. πŸ˜‰

I try not to get the Irish riled up too much! πŸ˜‰

You seem to be their favourite. πŸ™‚ I make typing errors that I don't notice until after a while.

My dear, I've never seen anyone correct your English!...It would seem you would be their favorite, and not me. πŸ˜‰

Unless of course you're talking about their favorite to pick on for spelling! πŸ˜‰

Whenever we go to Ikea I love reading all the Swedish names for the furniture and sweets.

Would you trust a cabinet named "Cailgari", eh?

They are smart, easy to associate, easy to remember. Very special and fun place, Ikea.

Edit: We still buy Ikea's bookcase 'Billy' and we all know what it is without looking in their catalogue. πŸ™‚
