To Steve in Boston

Hey Steve,
 
I just saw your comment and I would like to emphasis something.
 
1/ I was born and raised in Hong Kong.
 
2/ I was once in the mid-west for a year
 
3/ I am not a native English speaker, but a native Cantonese speaker.
 
Hope you see this.

Did you read the part where I said, "Please don't take this as a harsh cricitism. Your English is quite good."
I didn't mean it to be harsh and I'm sorry you took offense. It's evident that you're not a native speaker. Most of the non-native speakers with whom I work accept some tweaking of their accents from the people around them. I accept gentle correction of my accent in the two other languages I've studied.
Have a nice life.
Bye...
