Conversation Between NurseCubanitaRN2b and EwwThat'sNasty

Oops...don't know how the Romanian flag got there... Thanks for mentioning it...

Are you Romanian? I see that you have the Romanian flag....I love the language....and I love your gymnasts....Buna Zuia (I know I spelled it wrong) I wasn't trying to be mean regarding your English I just thought I'd point out some better ways to word a cover letter....I didn't know how bad my English really was until I got to college....The Cal State System uses or shall I say used Scribners Handbook....That is a very powerful book to use on how to write English...I know my English isn't the greatest, but I learned a lot from taking that required English WST course and using the handbook....If you have any other questions or anythinig please let me know....:-) Maria

Thanks on your observations about the limitations of my English usage.

It is a common misnomer that foreigners expect that native Americans, who clearly can speak English, actually speak it correctly.

Much of the structure, syntax, and rules of English are taught in grade school and High School, and frankly, I learned little from either.

I have been reading Swan's Practical English Usage recently, trying to get a "handle" on using it correctly.

I'd be indebted to you if you might point out areas where I can improve...

Thanks,
Steve
