Brian (I believe that to be your real name Mapleleaf man) I think you got the wrong end of the stick (fancy explaining the idiom). I view my blog as a free resource just like the way I view online dictionaries, online tables of irregular verbs, and online lists of phrasal verbs as free resources. I don’t charge anyone to read my blog (I don’t even have Goggle addsense on my blog) I don’t keep track of who comes to the blog and all it is contains articles that my students have found interesting. I have never and will never ask anyone here in English Baby to be a paying student of mine (as a professional English teacher of over 25 years I have enough). Unfortunately as a busy professional English teacher I don’t have the time to go trawling through the posts here to find topics to write about and I had planned on using this thread as a way to build up a list of topics that students have difficulty with, and not what I think students have difficulty with. I wanted to use this recourse for a wider range of topics than I get from my predominately European student base. I was not aware that blogs could be created on this site, if I knew before I posted the address of my blog I would have listed the English Baby blog as a link. Finally I found your personal comment about me offensive, and disturbing, especially as you don’t know me, but you assumed you did. You will not bully me off this site, and when I can I will continue to provide correct succinct and clear answers to questions posted here. Dave PS Thanks for killing off the thread (perhaps you would like to use that as a way of explaining British English irony)
