Hi Ricardo, I think that many who speak and write in English as their native language could learn a lot about the correct use of the language from people who have learned the language as a second language! It is interesting to note that some of the best written English I see now is from India and the Arabic countries! God bless, Dave

Hi Dave,
I find the situation ironic.  We live in a day and age where we are trying to eliminate adult illiteracy,  and fewer people in the West live their lives unable to read than ever on the one hand.

And on the other hand, supposedly educated people from environments and societies who, historically, could always read and write are now losing their ability to express themselves coherently.  You just have to look at the press (the UK press being the best example of this occurence that comes to mind!)

Saludos
Jenny
