This seems to be a very difficult concept for lots of guys to understand, whether English is their first language or not. If Mr. Juilliard had only sent the second e-mail, you might be looking at his written English more charitably.Random Blog Readernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8960259185579816628.post-21882906741591023882009-12-09T09:31:59.212-05:002009-12-09T09:31:59.212-05:00@ECS.

I know I have a snobbery that sometimes gets the best of me...I'm sure if I had to write in Italian, for example, I would also certainly not impress!<br /><br />(congrats on your man, incidentally...)Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01589159855996626031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8960259185579816628.post-67909913657352889482009-12-09T04:48:38.980-05:002009-12-09T04:48:38.980-05:00one thing I've learned after dating in an envi...one thing I've learned after dating in an environment where English is mostly the second or third language is that writing is often the last thing people grasp. What if these guys could all whisper the most glorious phrases to you in person?<br /><br />I agree that someone writing like that would grind my eyeballs but I've been now dating someone for 2 years who can only write purely functional scientific English (and uses "u" instead of "you" in text messages which still TOTALLY bugs me)<br /><br />however, he's fun-loving, talented, and totally charming and sweet in person, with no lack of spoken language skills. Plus, I get to learn a new language from him which is fun.ECShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980638224399713624noreply@blogger.com
