I am the guilty party here, so since people are still interested, I will answer.

I am fluent in two languages.

The only reason I dissed the OP is because he stated he attended college in the USA and his written english skills as evidenced in his posts do not reflect the competency of a US educated college graduate. I have met many an ESL who went to college in the USA and their written english was up to par.

I do not make a habit of poking fun of people who post on here from other countries and don't write english well. (Ask STT as she definitely tells me if she thinks I am getting out of line and watches me quite a bit.) However, if someone is a US college graduate, the bar is raised IMO. Admittedly, my attitude towards the OP wasn't very good either because I feel the OP is trying to get away with something dishonest so that did not help. I will do no more dissing of the OP's written english. I also admit I was wrong to make fun of the OP because I don't like what he had done in the past.
