e-Residency for estonia (ability to work in EU post no-deal Brexit)
How are us uneducated Brits supposed to help your highly intellectual self answer this exactly?
I don't consider UK people are uneducated, may be not sufficiently aware of what's going on across the world. I don't blame that to people, it is mostly establishment's media houses. I have found if right information given most of UK people are highly appreciated to my home country. My English colleague wants to swap his position with myself Well, in respect to current education system post 80s yes UK education system is not producing enough Engineers on international standard and that is not my opinion, that is global opinion.
My English colleague wants to swap his position with myself .
When you go back to India I hope you will help spread good English to all your fellow citizens. Myself is a reflexive pronoun. It reflects I as the subject. You can say I want to swap my position with myself but if you are not the subject then you must say My English colleague wants to swap his position with me. Good luck.

Myself is also an emphatic pronoun. The usage above is incorrect in British English, but is probably acceptable in spoken Hibernian English and is possibly also correct in Indian English.

I still have trouble with people that say "I'm after going to the shop".

I take your observation sportingly. I did not go to English Medium school, I went to state aided free school in India and I still found my skills in Math is far better than 99% of UK populace which probably helped me to do so well here financially. I admit my English is not good enough which my "MA in English" Wifey often points out but I am not bothered as it is good enough to do well in IT consulting work.
Thanks for your correction anyway
And that is the reason I am going back, I want my son to become stronger than me in Math. He was qualified in two Grammar schools, went to private school in South London for past six years and still we took him back to India in last December. He studied Indian math/science books all these years he is in England and he will survive and do well in the tough competition in India.

YG2 has an Irish accent now. YG1 still has her English accent but is picking up local phraseology. I heard her the other day describing a screwdriver set as 'fierce handy' in her BBC accent. Made me smile.
