Judging from the title I thought this was going to be about Ebonics at first.

I cannot imagine a Norwegian doing worse than the Indian teeny boppers who inhabit the "customer service" world that I am most likely to be in communication (sic) with today.

See the loveli lakes

The wonderful telephone system

And mani interesting furry animals

Including the majestic moose

A moose once bit my sister...

No realli! She was Karving her initials on the moose with the sharpened end of an interspace toothbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian movies: “The Hot Hands of an Oslo
Dentist”, “Fillings of Passion”, “The Huge Molars of Horst Nordfink”...

Mynd you, moose bites Kan be pretti nasti...

I never chide my Chinese wife on her poor English. If I could speak Chinese half as well as she speaks English...

On the other hand, of those who are born into an English speaking culture, and can’t speak or write the language, I have no use.

Recently, an associate revealed that the products she had tested - PAST the test...

Don’t get me started.....

There is good business in tutoring English in Europe.
I make my living here in Slovakia as an English tutor
for business people.
I make good money just spending an hour or two conversing with adults who know basic English but need help with vocabulary and pronunciation.
English is now considered the international language for business.

UFF DA!

Hard to fathom. Most educated Scandinavians speak better English than most Americans. And almost all Brits.

Wait until you’ve seen a serious business email full of IM abbreviations and other teen and 20-something slang. It’ll make you want to strangle someone.

Ibiza, Europe, is a part of the English speaking world where this language, as such, has developed into almost a basic art:
