What i am saying is i saw no "ONLY TEACH ENGLISH" schools like PP is full of, an where many,if not most tefler's "teach"

I'm trying to avoid being a Grammar Nazi, but when I see people whose English is terrible lambasting others for their English-language skills, I do feel compelled to point out the hypocrisy.

Richard has often admitted that he is aware his writing skills aren't up to much. He is not claiming to be an English teacher himself so his criticisms of the barely-literate BKK Trapper are valid. I can criticize someone who carelessly crashes a truck without being a truck driver myself.

He's entitled to criticise, but his comment 'most tefler's "teach"' is an obvious dig at TEFLers being incompetent. 'Most'? Really? Can we see some factual basis for that? Any sources? iirc, a few people were whining that CEO didn't post sources for their news, but nevertheless post fictitious assumptions without quoting a source themselves.

Sauce for the goose, and all that.

Paranoid much?

We all know that Richard's English, spelling and grammar is atrocious. But surely 'you' could work out that in that sentence he omitted a comma, and by 'teach' he meant work. Like this, "and where many,if not most, tefler's "work".

I would agree with Richard. Most TEFLers in PP work in dedicated language schools as opposed to full curriculum schools. Sorry I have no source.

Clutching at straws.

Nobody's paranoid, but some on here and on TOF feel the constant need to try and put down teachers. Richard is one...and to be honest, yes, I do know his English sucks...what annoys me is his groundless dig. I disagree that it was a mistake, it was deliberate, but you seem intent on covering for him. Vindictive, much?

Posting "teach" like he did clearly implies he is suggesting that they don't teach.

I was commenting on his dig ("teach'), not his statement where most work. But I'm pretty sure you knew that.

It's like saying most mods 'mod', or most photographers take 'pictures of kids', right? It's an implication that they don't actually do that, or that something is dodgy. Hard to see how a comma typo (single key stroke) can magically translate into a double key stroke (shift + quotation marks), unless one is trying to make excuses for richard.

I would hope he would be more than capable of telling us what he meant, even in broken English.
