Banish Your Inner Critic
Sarah Selecky, whose e-course Story is State of Mind I am working through right now, suggested that we put together a picture of our inner critic. Here is mine - I called her Miss Panglin, after the Grade 12 English teacher who told our class that immigrants may become bilingual, but their English will never be idiomatic. She, of course, had a different name.

"Miss Panglin, after the Grade 12 English teacher who told our class that immigrants may become bilingual, but their English will never be idiomatic." - czy ona słyszała kiedykolwiek o takim panu, który nazywał się Józef Konrad Korzeniowski?
ReplyDeleteHa! It so happens, that she was objecting to Joseph Conrad's use of the word "moustaches" which does not exist in English in the plural. We were doing "The Heart of Darkness" at the time.
