472725 2006-07-22 22:07:00 Don't worry about it JK. It's not the least tasteful post here by a long shot. I think Laura's got it, people found it out of character, rather than unacceptable in itself.

Relax, have a nice day.

Greg's comment about subtleties of English "decorum" doesn't relate to your grasp of the language itself.
It implies the manners/thought behind raising this particular subject.
"Decorum" is a measure of behaviour.

So some people were surprised that you would choose that item to publicise. It didn't fit with their mental picture of you.

On the colloquial English front - your response "Oh come on" shows that you are getting into general expressions well.
Well... I have nothing to say (with respect to the angelic mental picture of me). Am I really portrayed as "goodie good"?

I am... slightly stunned (after all, I am a human too!) :D

Cheers :)

I think the perception of someone who is gathering use of the language invokes a certain, shall I say . . . . VIRGINAL INNOCENCE, as in a small child .

Please don't think that this means you ARE a small child, and I am not going to post over imputed virginity or lack thereof either .

It's just that there is a certain warmth and parental dignity involved by those who speak the language well toward those who have some slight stumbling with it .

The mental picture of you may not be a truthful representation of the real "you", but it happens . It is not meant to demean or belittle .

So . . . in keeping you "in character" in our/their minds, the true surprize was the content of the article to which you referred, not the person you are .

. . . . kinda like a child using a very nasty swear word in front of the inlaws . . . . . .

472729 2006-07-23 21:58:00 JK, Welcome to Kiwiland. You are well on your way to becoming a trueblue Kiwi. Next, you will be drinking hard & swearing. Then you will have made it, joined the club. Took me one month back in 1964, never looked back since. This truly IS Gods Own Country. PJ Poppa John (284)

In Southland we have to use a peter
No way would a beer bottle be big enough to do the trick
