It made sense in the context. You said you understood how someone could have problems with English and misspelled words. I misspelled a word and you replied with using a comment that didn't fit in the context you put it in. Your reply was a totally irrelevant comment, and it's only meaning was to try and piss me off.
can't see any logic here! when you said it it was exactly as irrelevant as it was when i said it. i just did it to show you that you make the same mistakes too, because you were actually trying to piss me off. you try to piss me off in every post on this thread actually... and then you all blame it on me. if you do it, it makes perfect sense, when i do it in the post right afterwards it is out of context? LOL

i never learned english in school, but am i a bad person, only because i misspell some words?

Nope, you said that a reason someone is bad English teacher is because he's from Sweden. That's just bullshit.
talking about context: the context of this quote was about that physics thing, where you made the mistake.

plus you're quoting me wrong again here, cause i didn't say that the reason why this teacher is bad was that he's from sweden. he could have been from every other non-english speaking country. the point was, that it is just normal that people that didn't grow up with one language may have problems with some words, and they can still be good teachers. (come on, it is one word!)


and i don't see why everybody talks about my bitterness, cause i really do not feel bitter at all. just go on ciritcising everything i say, i can live with that. and if it gets too ugly, i've still got a few other boards where people don't have to criticise me all the time and can discuss normally and don't need to quote my spelling-mistakes!

i kinda understand what you're saying but that wasn't an expression or an idiom. (although a teacher is supposed to know this stuff).

of course not. take an englisman and he won't be able to know every english word. but "critical acclaim" is ehmm... not that complicated for a teacher imo.

That's because you don't understand what you read. What I said was directly connected to your previous statement, it made sense. If you read the quotes, you have a "flow". Your comment was just a sentence with nothing as reference. You just tried to be funny and ended up looking like an idiot.

I'm not surprised when you misspell words like "really". Anyway, "critical acclaim" is an everyday term, one that any self-respecting English teacher should know.


Quote:

Then you shouldn't have used my quotes. Now, you said that you're not surprised that even if I'm fluent in 3 languages and understand few more that I misspell words. That just doesn't make sense.

Quote:

No, you're just acting stupid. Thinking that it's okay for a foreign English teacher not to know what a phrase like "critical acclaim" means is either incredibly naive or just stupid. He's a teacher for God's sake. If he doesn't understand the language he shouldn't call himself a teacher.

Yes, you did. You said it's natural for Swedish people not to understand English. I quote:

It's two words. And no, you can't be a good English teacher if you don't know the common words, phrases or expressions.

Quote:

You just keep repeating "Oh, I forgot, the whole needs to speak perfect English" and "You don't need other languags". Sounds bitter to me, and to many others.

This wasn't about your spelling mistakes. This was about you saying that Swedish English teachers don't understand English. You assumed wrong, you were criticised and then you continued your quest to bash the English language and defend bad teachers. FIne with me, if you want to do so, go ahead. But be prepared that there's always going to be someone criticising you. And if you can't take critique, you'd better go somewhere else.

Yeah, I'm sure, she said to me to find out what that meant 'cause I could just say that it was "something good" it meant.

And by the side I hate my english teacher so much, she think that she's so good with her (in her opinion) perfect english accent and stuffs like that. So irretating!
But I got an A+ on my englishwork about Bon Jovi! That's nice.

And one thing more I'm not a "he" I'm a she!

you just tried to piss me off because i misspelled something and then misspelled something in your next sentence as well. there was at least as much "flow" in my quote as there was in yours.

i thought we ended that topic, but seems like you can't stop. this will be my last post on this thread, cause i'm getting bored...

by the way: i didn't try to be funny at all. just showing you with your own argument that you shouldn't try to make people bad because they misspell some words...

again, you logic here doesn't work, cause i speak 4 languages myself fluently, not counting my "bad" english that you somehow like to criticise...
so when you say that i misspelled something, it makes no sense eigther!
again exactly the same thing, but you think when you say it it's ok, and when i say it it makes no sense.

This was about you saying that Swedish English teachers don't understand English.
haha, now it's really getting funny!
i said it's normal to have some problems with some words.
you now say that i said it's normal they don't understand english.
these are two absolutely different statements! sorry but again, i can't follow your strange logic, and this isn't because i don't understand you, just don't understand your "logic"...

what have i done to you that you can't stop trying to piss me off? what have i done that you need to say: "hey, you said that!" even so it's comletely diffferent from what i REALLY said? and why can't i have this opinion that a teacher can be a good teacher even if he doesn't understand "critical acclaim"? there are really more important factors if you have to judge a teacher!
