As we all know the ESL Jobs in China ads are fraught with strange and often humorous langauge, but this one I find particularly curious:

From posting: teaching positions through out China start ASAP (13 July 2006):

"Haoshi foreign language school located in coastal city, Yingkou which is specialized in english training. With hard and bitter struggle ,Haoshi foreign language school has become the most professional English training school in Yingkou city. There are more than 2000 students and 30 stuffs and 3 foreign teachers in school. Because of fast development, we want to recruit another 3 foreign teachers for this semester."

With 'hard and bitter struggle'??? Makes you wonder exactly what happened? Some kind of turf war? And what kind of weapons were the 'stuffs' given to defend their honorable institution?
