I feel your pain, brother. Bulgarians are great people. And Bulgarian girls...they rock, dude!
The unfair plight of our Bulgarian colleagues is an industry-wide blot upon our business...one that I think we have kept swept under our collective rug for far too long now. I for one am proud to stand alongside our Bulgarian friends until victory is achieved!

In the meantime, a tiny correction. I'm American, and I absolutely LOVE Scottish English. I think it should be taught as the world standard, and that all EFL/ESL teachers should either be Scots or required to adopt heavy Scottish accents.

The chance to at some point hear every person in China under the age of 40 plop wearily into a chair and squelch, "Och, laddie, mah Engalish is vairy puir!" is an opportunity not to be missed.
