    Dave, nothing scheduled until September now. If I'd have known a couple weeks ago we could have maybe gotten something done in August. Our group meets every other month normally, but we have made exceptions when we have a speaker who can make an off month, but not a normal month.

    I live about 2 hours away from you per Google maps. Let me know if you want me to show up at any point.

    Might be E3L (or ETL, but then that might be cofused as something else), English as 3rd Language; as opposed to ESL, English as Second language.

    :ermm: Yes, that's what I meant, English as a third language. Can't even get my acronyms right.

    "English as a Second Language" ends up as ESL, so I guess "English as a Third Language" would be ETL. Use that accronym for it in this crowd and you'll definitely generate more confusion than even 3LESP got. 🙂

    I'll definitely be taking you up on that!

    Not really, no.

    But you know, I was just thinking... If I had RAQ Report, I think it would solve ALL my problems. I'm not sure where that idea came from.

    I dont think I will need to tell him as well. All of you have already made it very clear that it is a very very very bad idea... 😀

    Yeah, I didn't post it so it would be like piling on, but because more voices carry more weight.

    Dear GSquare, or Gus if I may call you that. Thank you for your advice. I have taken it to my heart. Please forgive me if every now and again I do get it wrong, sometimes deliberately and sometimes not so intentionally. But then again, OP's do so as well, and I'm still very low down on the pecking order - point wise, so please forgive me if I slip up every now and again :unsure:
