"To be effective....you need to be on your professional mettle"
Anyone who claims to be an expert English speaker/teacher should be able to demonstrate a better quality of writing than "Doctor" Cross showed.
I have been put off, even repulsed, by the low standards exhibited in some of the postings which have appeared in the past. "Doctor" Cross's is simply one of the most glaringly bad. As others have noted, there are some gaps and questions raised by the "doctor's" testament. But my major issue is/was that in order to be taken seriously, one should use a decent English format (which we all purport to be able to teach our students).
I have accepted badly written passages full of English errors which were rich with Ideas and Creativity. However, the writers were neophytes, not self-proclaimed "experts" whose job it is/was to teach their native tongue to others.
I repeat, "if you want (to be taken seriously and) to be effective, be on your professional mettle" when you report your experiences to your peers.
