Sometimes I feel that those who have English as a second language 'make more of it' than us who are lazy with it. I often feel it reads more lyrical; more poetical than if a mere English spoken person threw the words down.

I don't mean that in a condescending way :-)

He must have seen my internal head shaking as he said, he'd be wearing a suit and had no intention to take the jacket off (more internal head shaking on my side).

Highly efficient, but.... no I'm different than the other girls.

Definitely no candidate for a straight

I have been tempted, I admit, in the past, when wearing a jumper, to only iron the collar and cuffs, but I just CAN'T bring myself to do it! it seems so WRONG! So BASE!
