    I can't say I'm surprised (or sorry) that they're deleting his posts now. They probably figured that he was somehow satisfied with drive-by posting around the ban system and are trying to eliminate whatever he thinks he's accomplishing by doing it.

    I have a solution for those Europeans who are endlessly offended by America's collective disinterest in soccer, and by the fact that America has a colloquial name for the sport, and calls a different sport by it's proper worldwide name:

    Grow the fuck up. Examine your own culture and realize that you have colloquialisms too; unless you plan to eliminate them utterly from your language, stuff it.

    death to america for calling football soccer, and only because they call football soccer.

    Don't worry Jeep, when we teach our students English the curriculum dictates that we call soccer soccer.

    Watching the European JETs have to teach it as soccer makes up for any silly handegg nonsense.

    :P

    First Japan, then the world!

    I assume it is similar in other English programs around the world, mostly because they like to teach American English because generally in terms of business it is the most useful, and you have to settle on one standard anyway, and, might as well go for the country with the most influence.

    I have to admit I do feel bad for the students that get stuck with, like, the Irish ALT that has a really thick accent to the point that some native speakers have a hard time understanding her. I have to scratch my head at decisions like that. She is a sweet girl and all but I don't see why she got a job teaching English.

    Anyway, it is late and I need to get to bed so goodnight chat!
    Maybe because she is a native english speaker? I'm surprised they are having a hard time understanding her, shouldn't they just be learning an Irish accent instead?

    A Polish friend of a friend moved to Ireland and learnt english there, she has the most amazing accent on her english now.

    Irish is not very easy to understand for people who don't even know english, and no, them learning an irish accent would be a bad idea. Because then their english would be different from everybody elses.

    learning one way to pronounce things from your teacher and one way from everything else (which, from how I learnt english, is by far the most important bit) just confuses things.

    But I'm surprised she can't change her accent to a sort of standard teaching english when teaching.

    Me too, man.

    Staying awake is becoming a tough proposition, let alone do all the math I have to do.

    But I need to power through on no sleep because I gotta fix my sleep schedule. Atleast until I fuck it up again.

    Depending on locale, this question is either heresy or treason.

    god damnit Sprint is STILL trying to get $400 out of me for not returning my phone when I did and I have the reciept

    fuck's sake

    a collection's agency just called, I offered the guy $83 (which is what I actually owe sprint) and he said they can't do that. I asked him to provide written proof that I actually owe that money and he said he had no obligation to provide anything and if I didn't like it I could take them to court. This is what I need more shit on my credit report that's impossible to remove

    INFORM HIM THAT HE IS IN VIOLATION OF THE FAIR DEBTS COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT AND THAT EACH VIOLATION HENCEFORTH SHALL BE A FINE IN YOUR FAVOR FOR $1000. EACH VIOLATION. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

    Going forward, he needs to provide you with written proof that the debt is valid, and, you should, inform him that he is no longer allowed to contact you by phone.

    Well he might be violating the law but what can I do about it? I've only gotten one call with one guy who refused to work with me (I even offered to pay more than what I actually owed) he wasn't interested in talking to me

    He seemed far more interested in putting a black mark on my credit report than resolving the debt, so now I have to send a dispute to the credit bureau and wait 90 days ugh

    Well, I mean... they'd be the one taking you to court. Unless you file suit for harassment, in which case they would definitely have to file proof that you owed them money
