Need help with conversational Italian, will reciprocate in English without need for money, but you "get what you paid for" <grin>. I prefer subjects that include: Cosmology, relativity, Quantum Mechanics, science in general. But will discuss any subject of mutual interest. What do you prefer? Beware, I do not believe in praying to imaginary friends for help. That includes you god, are you listening? I prefer Skype or other video communication. It seems that even here, there are vultures wanting to deceive and steal from you. The "Friend from Nigeria who wants to send you money for bank deposit" joke has made it onto italki.... >sigh<. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." For my tombstone when I die: "No worries! I still have my sense of humor." La cosa più importante è essere in grado di ridere come si impara. Per me, la vita non si tratta di cose che si raccolgono, oppure i premi ricevuti, si tratta di amici che si incontrano lungo la strada. E le lingue si impara, naturalmente!

    Some of the oldest public universities are in the south (UNC, William and Mary, Duke). Unfortunately this fine example of Southern American culture did not attend.

    Extra Points if you can identify the "88" on his baseball cap.  I could understand the man because I live in the South (USA).   This man has the education level of someone who would use the word "LEARNT".

    The "English Speaking World" is pretty much an oxymoron, as "English" is becoming universally spoken and taught in many primary level schools worldwide.

    As I like to say to my British friends: "Y'all may have invented the language, be we Gringos have perfected it."

    *Gringo is only a derogatory word if you believe it to be so. *(derogatory): "showing a critical or disrespectful attitude." It is similar to calling an Cymry man, "English" instead of "British Subject enslaved by ruffians from England."

    And "LEARNT" is still not a proper word !

    My family tree, on my father's side, was an emigrant from Wales escaping from enslavement by English tyrants. Someone freed him (and others) from jail and onto a boat. (True story, maybe 5 or 6 generations ago. We STILL tell these stories. With each generation the boat gets smaller and the number of escapees grows larger).

    -Cheers, "Johnny Gringo"  (trademarked)

    JMat:  I recognize that perhaps a minority of English speaking people use the British form of English. And I have a lot of respect for British people from around the world.  I had limited my initial remarks to people from the SOUTH(USA).  Why can't anybody remember that inconvenient fact?  They get insulted, they get mad, so my sense of humor does not cheer them up, then what?

    Doesn't anyone understand satire any more?  We're not loosing "The War on Terrorism", we've lost *The War on Ignorance*.

    Do I need to open a can of humor whoop-ass on some people?

    I wonder.... Does any know?  How many "American-English" vrs. "English-English" people there are in the world.  What the ratio is?  American population is about 300 million (?) now.

    My 2 cents; "Many teenagers who dream to be a famous singer join in the singing" is a difficult sentence to parse, Is it an "imperative" sentence? Then "Any teenagers, who dream to be a famous singer, join in the singing. Imperative: To command some one or group of people WHAT to do. If it is ti be a statement of fact: Many teenagers who DREAMED to be a famous singer JOINED in the singing. Past Tense STATEMENT of what happen. Or similarly, by changing the tenses to be future tense.

    "Once I am done here, I will be there with you" phrase is used more commonly when someone is going somewhere to give some kind of help, aid or companionship. For example with a sick patient in a hospital.

    I believe that "serial" is more common in G. Britain, while the usage of "series" is pretty much universal in USA.

    "going to" is slang for "will". Both are equally common.
