Taking the break, I went through all the English posters that I had had no time to read. Now I realize that you are actually my little sis and the poster by you downstairs was indeed for 2u2m in retaliation to his mockery. Actually, I must say that though correct, your expression is old-fashioned. So perhaps 2u2m is not so stupid (or as stupid) as you think. He is just used to modern English.
As I taught you before, English is a living language. When I was in England, I told a guy (they say "chap" there) that he should say "it's I", not "it's me", then he asked me: "You mean I should say 'dear I', not 'dear me'?"
One more lesson. In old days, people did not use the word "like" the way they used the word "as". So it was wrong if you said "I like my car like I like my wife". Instead, you should say "I like my car as I like my wife". But nowadays people tend to use "like" instead of "as". What was wrong now is correct, and the word "like", a preposition before, now has become a connective as well.
Perhaps this is too much for you to comprehend. Anyway, what I do not understand IS (or should I used "are", as you once taught me?) the following questions:
1) Why is a man stupid if his second language is not impeccable?
2) Why is making money from "superior race" an indication of one's
smartness?
3) In the following para, where is the verb of the last sentence?
"If you consider all Caucasian people are immigrants, then, I do
make money from them. But you won't that smart!"
What does "you won't that smart" mean? Is this some kind of special English that is spoken exclusively by super-smart ass(h**e)?
4) How can a lawyer with this kind of special English make a living on superior Caucasians? How could they understand you if there is no verb in a sentence? Maybe all of them speak Chinese? But we do use verbs, don't we? Of course, in some cases, they would understand you perfectly even if there are no verbs. For example, if you said "master" to them, they would understand immediately that you were addressing them. Is this the normal way you communicate with them?
