Hello Michael. Could you explain what Mary Choi message has to do with her English grammar misspellings that you corrected it and lectured her. Mary is in Korea, speaks Korean and never mentioned to be an English teacher or an English student or asked for help with her English. If you understood her message or idea, then just give your feedback to the topic of discussion. Could you imagine if you were the one that put the message in Korean and Mary Choi replies correcting your Hangul.

I find irrespectful and lack of touch, English speakers that bring the correct English pronunciation or grammar subject to anybody who does not agree with them. i dont know about Korean school systems and their teachers, but with your nonesense reply, I think Mary has a valid comment.

The fact that you claim to have many years teaching in Asia and still fall into this simple language cultural pitfall, shows how disconnected English teachers could be to Asian cultures after years in Asia. I just cannot imagine how the new ones think.

Just in case: I am Japanese in Japan and I am not asking you to correct my English. If you don't understand this message, let me know, I can ask somebody who speak better English than me to help me write a new message. Or if you wish I can always write and put the message in Japanese.

Enjoy your Asian experience.
