tonym' . . . . . . I reckon that you're right on the money, as is gsizer. There were a few phrases and words which were novel in the beginning, however they really are wearing thin.

Interesting to note that whilst there is always an effort made to appear to be not of an English speaking background, there are often a fake flaws in the grammar. What is really remarkable, is that few if any spelling errors occur; particularly given that English boasts to be without doubt, the most idiotic language when it comes to spelling. Its spelling is easily the most difficult to grasp of all languages, let alone understand. . . . . BTW, I do speak 5 myself, so I have an idea !
Mind you, perhaps chipper has a doctorate or is a professor in English . . . not !!

A 'cunning linguist', or goldie . . . . my money has from day one been on the latter . . . .
