On proper ad grammar


8 People Left Stuff Behind »

  1. I know many people who are looking for English teachers in Nanjing. When you arrive next February, I suggest you look for one as well.

    Why would anyone who spends all that time getting a ‘Ph.D in Marketing’ decide that teaching English is their true calling?

    Please refer to comment #31 (from the bottom up) Thank you.

  2. fortunate my dear friend not “fotunate”

  3. It’s fotunate that NanjingNow “vet the postings first” or this site might turn into a blog site full of rubbish and counter-rubbish.
    “Mr Punctuation” hit the nail on the head, and offered helpful suggestions to would-be English teachers. He (or she) made one spelling error, whereas many others claiming to be English teachers have made multiple mistakes with their use of English.
    Mr (or Ms) Punctuation should not be called a fool, but should instead be quietly acknowledged and his (or her) advice humbly taken.
    Let’s all raise the standard of English in China (and do our best to learn Chinese while we are here).

  4. You made a good fool of yourself.
    ha ha ha..

  5. sound the word out if you problem spelling :)

  6. You are quite right. Thankyou :)

  7. and spelling the word “punctuation” is quite important too!

  8. I often read the advertisements written by foreign students and other people wanting jobs as English teachers. But it is disappointing to see these advertisements containing so many errors. I feel embarrased that people calling themselves English teachers can make so many basic mistakes in spelling, grammar and punctuatuion. Please use standard, semi-formal English in your ads. Check your ad before you post it. ā€œIā€ is always a capital letter. English and China always start with capitals too. If you want to teach English you should first be able to use English correctly in your advertising.
