Please help us take care a cat for three months.

Dear Cat Lovers,

I am a Purdue student. My husband and I are moving into New York by
December, but we can't take care our cat from
December 2009 to February 2010. We are looking for a good person/family to
help ustaking care our cat for this two months.
Our cat is a domestic short hair, he is 2 years old with wonderful
personality, very close to human and never scratch a
single furniture during his life! We will so appreciate if you can help us
and our cat in this difficult period. Many thanks in advance!
Your generous will be compensated. Thank you again!

If you are interested, please contact DongYan(DY) Mu at or via
phone: 812-239-7923.

Have you checked with area vets? They often know of reputable people who
will temporarily foster cats.

I hope English is a second language for you! (I know grammar isn't much
taught anymore, but one would think a school of Purdue's reputation
would produce more articulate students!)

That is not necessary, Evelyn.

What are your foreign languages skills like yourself? How many languages
can you speak (except American?)
German? French? Spanish? Italian? English?

That was very harsh, Evelyn. Obviously English is a second language, given
the name of the poster. I'd be more concerned about a heretofore unknown
poster to this ng asking for perfect strangers to take care of their cat for
two months. At least she was polite about it.

All of the above, actually, but only English fluently. That's why I made
the disclaimer I did! (I fully understand the difficulties of
developing skill in a second language, but there are far too many
semi-literate Americans who speak only American English, and can
neither spell nor use correct grammar - forgive me if it sometimes
rankles.)

But why? Sure some Americans have problems with spelling and
grammar. I'm willing to bet the problem isn't confined to Americans.
I strongly suspect it happens in all countries and all languages.

Would you suggest that anyone with inadequate language skill be
shunned or banned from public communication?

Surely fluency and skill in any language require practice, and that
practice will be sometime imperfect.

How on earth does that hurt you?

It doesn't hurt anyone. There are lots of reasons why people have
difficulty with literacy in all countries. I will name just 3.
1. Living in a deprived community where there is no ethic to try at school,
(cool not to.)
2. Parents from the same background, never worked, so why should we? so no
role model to achieve.
3. Illness as a child. My neighbour had dreadful psoriasis as a child and
spent a lot of time at home covered in ointment and swathed in clingfilm.
She missed a lot of schooling and has never caught up with her reading and
writing.

There are many more.
It's not necessarily a sign of lack of intelligence.

If I wanted to be pedantic I could say that only the British speak English
"as she is spoke"
Americans speak American ;-)

What do you mean? You say this all the time! It usually sounds like
you're putting down Americans when you say it. Contrary to what you
might say, we actually do speak the English language over here.

Noah Webster would have been pleased to hear you say so!
