I'm with HS. This is open to anyone that can tap on a keyboard. Do not let one single person on this board pick on you about your level of English. I can understand what you are saying. For all any of us know, you don't get the chance to interact with other people that speak english, except right here on TFL. It takes time to learn and speak english very well. My father, who came to this country in the 60's from a foreign land still has some trouble here and there. Keep working at it, you are doing great.
There's a nice little saying I have heard from friends in other countries:
if you speak three languages, you are tri-lingual.
if you speak two languages, you are bi-lingual.
if you speak one language, you are American.
stdalire, I formally welcome you here and hope you stay.
I started a new thread on stdalire's origninal topic in "General Discussions"--"How I Came to Own Firearms"
"I may not agree with what a man says, but I will defend to the death his right to say it."
