@boontime Hi fat chimp. Please find one spelling mistake. In your post I find the following mistakes:

- no question mark used after asking a question

- it's 'an idiot' not 'a idiot'.

- consistent mis-use of punctuation, rendering the sentence meanings unclear.

This is simple stuff. I can give you private lessons if you need help, Boontime. I don't accept bananas as payment though, so you can keep them to yourself.

@davidgrus dude they do teach you that here in England (my school did at least) and sebseb1 is just a idiot, and to claim that he is an English language teacher is shocking if you saw the vulgarity of the comments he types, the lack of intelligence he has, and the fact that he makes soooo many spelling mistakes. wouldn't say anything about the spelling if he didn't claim to be an English teacher (i always believed they should be able to spell)

[sebseb1]

look i was trying to give the man a compliment for his good cover of a great song, which is what comments are for. Not arguing about whether you got taught this or that word in Sweden and having to tell everyone about it.

I reccommend the author deletes all these posts, apart from my original comment. Go and bicker somewhere else.

[davidgrus]

Oh come on... I was saying that with "tounge-in-cheek" (as my english co-worker would say). Of course we don't have better english education since it is not our native language! What they do though, is teach us a kind of broad understanding of the english language, that different words are used depending on where you come from. And one of the words they tought us, is 'canny', probably because we have a similar word in Swedish. Also, in Sweden, we used to have a currency called shilling.

[sebseb1]

Oh yes you must have. Did they teach you 'get your head out of your own arse', aswell?

My employers would seriously consider my position if i were to teach my students words that they were extremely unlikely to use or need to know such as shilling (ancient currency), Irish geography and words used in regional dialects such as canny.

[davidgrus]

Well, my english-teacher must have been an exeption to the rule then. Not only do I know the words, but considering the fact that I'm not from an english-speaking country; do we have better english education in Sweden than in the UK?

[sebseb1]

as an english-language teacher myself, i can assure you that they pretty much don't.

[davidgrus]

yes they do

[sebseb1]

good effort!

considering you're italian you do well with the english: words like shilling, county kildare, canny.....they dont teach you those in english class at school!
