That's all more fun.) If you do read it, who knows? You might learn something! You might also get an insight into why I went back to writing fiction... Much more fun. Anyway, here it is.
2006-03-17 Askoga: I really like the discussion about the dialects. I found myself nodding at some points, in agreement, and adjusting my way of thinking in others, to accomidate the new ideas you presented.
I haven't yet finished reading through your paper, but it's interesting so far. I simply need a break from the computer.
2006-03-17 dmeredith: The fact that you can struggle through that thing at all is impressive... Whatever you think of it in the end you still get kudos for that!
2006-03-17 Askoga: Struggle? It's a fun read! Though I've been told I have a strange idea of fun. Actually, it's very organized, and sounds pretty professional (to me). I'm sure it helps that you teach the subject.
Actually, for a few years now (since I was a sophomore in high school, and I graduated from there last spring) I've been toying with the notion of studying to be an English as a foreign language teacher. I think it sounds like a great job. But, that's my second choice right now. For now, languages are only a hobby, and I'm thinking of becoming a school librarian.
