Yes, the point is communication. In fact, it is pretty amazing we can all understand each others. Not just because of the language but also because of the different continents we live in and the diverse upbringings/cultures/ways.

I’m glad over here we don’t have dubbed movies. It allows us to hear different languages since we’re kids. Same with TV shows. When I was a kid there were a lot of French and Italian movies, both on the movie theatre and the TV. Now, as you know, it is mostly British or American ones.

My English friend, who lives up river, is trying to learn Portuguese. She manages to understand it a little, can read it fairly well, but she has some trouble getting understood. So far nothing close to your friend’s faux pas.

I am also a teacher, but I feel with all that crap most of us on this forum are going through, I can overlook any grammatical or spelling errors made by people who post (including mine.) I have knowingly ended many sentences on my post with prepositions. In the scheme of it all, it just doesn't seem too important.

MY, my what a discussion is afoot. I would just like to add that I had dinner with Forthetrees, and she didn't correct my grammar once. Either I speak really well, or she was horrified and speechless about it.

I don't think she intended this to be a serious topic. So I am delighted to catch up on all the fun I missed while dining with her at a Mexican-Peruvian restaurant. She even spoke  to the waiter in his native language. I told her she was a showoff.
