People, whose first language is NOT ENGLISH, who try to correct my English.

A drawing checker here is trying to tell me that what I have put on a document is incorrect, when in fact it IS correct. His way is wrong.

And no I will NOT suck it up!

congratulate him on being smart enough to "know" 2 languages, but that he should really concentrate on english......since this is America. I would go out of my way to prove him wrong.

 

[MMike]

Actually this is NOT america.

 

[jimmydean]

I always wanted to take ESL classes to see if I would learn anything different since it is taught as a second language.

Would that make me bilingual?

Response #1 (How can I help / make it better?)
Not sure how English is taught in Canada... but English can be somewhat subjective in usage. For example, Americans will separate a string of items with commas, incliding a comma before the "and," ("I had peas, carrots, and potatoes.") British usage omits that final comma.

Similarly, other usage varries. "I stayed with her at weekends," or "They went to hospital," are British usages, and would be seen as a bit awkward by Americans.

Are you sure it's not a stylistics thing? (Just looking for a reason for you not to be pissed off.)

But if you want to be pissed off, I can certainly sympathise.

Response #2 (Sympathy)
Wow. That really sucks. Sorry.

It's worse when they correct and you were actually wrong. Happens to me, oh, at a guess, every-****ing-day. Better stop taking the missus' valium before I go to work I suppose.
