But as an American, of Scottish descendant, of English/Irish origen, living in Europe, I think your comments hit very much close to home. So, perhaps, I might have an answer. Do you mind?
By the way, I've been all over the world (more than three dozen countries), speak seven langauges two WAY much better than the rest).
By the way, my first language wasn't English, either.
No offense - just please understand who you're talking to before you blast them.
Don't know how this thread will develop.
I suppose we'll wait and see!
See you soon.
