Hi Eddie. I wasn't really talking about typos, which mine was obviously. I was talking about grammatical errors and lots of spelling errors. You are right, everyone makes mistakes, but some make more mistakes than others.

I *do* know there are lots of native speakers who are not qualified to teach in China. Who's fault is that? Not the native speakers, but the Chinese bosses who hire them, and the Chinese customers who want them.

As I have said in another post, I don't care what people look like. You don't need to convince me that there are good and bad black and white teachers.

Please, my name is Ian, not Lan! I am not a Local Area Network! ;-)
