Mr Kim. I live in Tianjin. I work on a production line with 3 Koreans. We spend over 10 hours a day together, communicating mostly in English, because my Korean is very poor. Now and then, they teach me a few expressions in Hangul, and I try to help them to improve their English, as best I can, because it is our only means of communicating with our employers.

I'll tell you what I am going to do. I am going to print off your post. Then tomorrow, I am going to very carefully cut out each word and put it into a hat. During my lunch break, I am going to sprinkle the contents of my hat onto the floor. Then I will ask my Korean co-workers to read out the words as they have fallen on the floor, according to the laws of chance.

That way, they'll stand a better chance of understanding your English than I do.




do you think mouth is the only mouth here? why are you like that? the joke is too harsh to consider your surroundings you fool.... don't go too far because he does something in people's back... why don't you act like you know me and don't act like you are rich. Our friendship is falling apart as time passes. Hey, your face looks like sissy boy. now i am I am ticklish. Ah, nobody can stop you. You are not worth feeding.

i use my English expression book to tell you say in the english now "The bone marrow is bristling with the dew of rancour"

Kim:

Stick around! Those of us with a spark of humanity within us don't care about how good or bad your English is. What we do care about is meeting more people, making new friends, and most importantly learning from them and helping them to grow.

"The bone marrow is bristling with the dew of rancour"

I got this immediately, though it was not familiar to me in that form. We would say: Beauty is skin deep but ugly goes all the way to the bone."

TEd's right, Kim - stick around, ignore HL. However little you know about English, your English is way better than my Korean!

....and so so thank you say to my english... but don't you try to lie... ^ ^

you are flatter... is fawn over because i know that the English is very very poorly!

please be patient with me!

i want to it to you that thank you all for your endorsement.

So, so thank you... I am touched.

So, so truly touched.

But what is that feeling -- perhaps now -- that has begun to attend these words?

It is a creeping feeling of disquiet caused by the observable effects of a hidden cause.

An unidentifiable change begins to take place.

Suddenly, what was once unimportant, harmless, and meaningless seems pregnant with implication, threat, and meaning.

A group of familiar objects left casually on a table becomes an insoluble rebus.

A view you have looked at everyday without interest will suddenly hold out an indivious significance, just beyond your reach.

And always just beyond your reach, for when the true cause of an event stands outside the ambit of its perceivable effects, the a pripori deduction of particular effects from a general cause has no possible beginning, and the a posteriori induction of a general cause from particular effects no possible end.

U. Kinbote.

Well, I guess you've shown us all that a suspect chain-jerker will get the benefit of the doubt among the good natured. Don't forget to clean your dress before you hang it the closet. See you around, sweetie. xxoo

Sheesh. No wonder there are so many places on the internet where new people are not welcomed. Talk about no good deed going unpunished...

I was just thinking to myself, "Wouldn't it be ironic if HL and iamkim and U. Kimbote were all the same person."

but then I said to myself, "joe, you better not post that or people will think you are truly cynical."

-joe (cynical is as cynical does) friday
