Originally posted by Cirrus View PostWhen 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.Comment

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.Last edited by molsang; 5 February 2019, 16:10.Comment

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.Comment

Originally posted by molsang View PostI 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.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
