Enjoyed this piece, but reading the comments, everybody is an English teacher aren't they? That's why there are writers and editors and every writer needs an editor. Heck, editors need an editor. The language is incredibly rich, but filled with mine fields forged by tradition and societal class norms that should probably be upheld for no other reason than out of respect for the language. It is after all, the global business language (for now) - except when trying to do business in France, but that's another story for a country with another rich and beautiful language, equally as complex. So Mr. Hickman, find an affordable editor, travel safely and I look forward to reading your next installment.
