Maggi: it should rain again tonight.

Ying-Lan: ^I went to go to class this afternoo.The traffic was heavy and it was getting worse because it rained at the that time.

Maggi: last night we had a thunder and lightening storm.

Ying-Lan: ^Was it terrible?

Maggi: best to go pofg

Maggi: offline then

Maggi: I have a special plug for my computer.

Maggi: But some people have had to reinstall everything.

Ying-Lan: so.

Maggi: I was at a company a few weeks ago and there were two hits with lightening.

Ying-Lan: ^You mean the thunder hit your computer?

Maggi: they have emergency electricity for their computers.

Maggi: not mine...

Maggi: and it is the lightening that hits...

Maggi: ...the thunder just makes noise.

Ying-Lan: ^My modeam was out of work last year, because of the thunder.

Vance: We don't get that kind of weather here. I miss dramatic weather.

Maggi: no, because of the lightening...

Ying-Lan: bceause of the lighting?

Maggi: well this was really dramatic Vance.

Vance: lightning ... lightNing

Maggi: thunder won't knock anything out...

Maggi: oops

Maggi: Vance is right...

Maggi: I was thinking in German#

Vance: I hadn't noticed yours actually. YL said lighting, which is something else.

Maggi: boogers

Vance: Lighting is the way you illuminate a room. Lightening is the act of making lighter. And lightning is electricity in a storm. I was only pointing this out as a matter of interest.

Ying-Lan: ^I have seen some movies talking about the white man fighted with Blacks.. It is a big problem in USA, isn't it? Actually, I don't understand which one hit my computer. thunder or light

Maggi: all the electricity went out in Darmstadt...but it hit only meters away from where we were sitting.

Vance: lightning hit your computer.

Maggi: yep...thunder only makes noise.

Vance: Really. Lightning struck meters from where you were sitting?

Maggi: yes#

Ying-Lan: lightning

Vance: NOT

Vance: For real?

Ying-Lan: not what?

Maggi: jes

Maggi: eee...yes

Vance: That's just a funny way of disagreeing, to say NOT!

Maggi: and then it hit again a few

Maggi: minutes later

Ying-Lan: ^You mean it is not a problem.

Ying-Lan: ^How about the 3k party... it exists now.

Maggi: knocked out the lightning rods on the roof.

Vance: So Gold, what are we going to do about getting you access to our website? Should I move to homestead.com?

Vance: 3k party? What's that?

Maggi: I won't live that long Ying!

Ying-Lan: I don't know.

Vance: ahh, Y3K

gold10: @64,64 !It's gold10

Ying-Lan: ^I just saw a movie talking about it.

Vance: I read a joke the other day about terrible disruptions caused by Y1K. Plague and all that stuff.

Maggi: let's just get throught the Y2K oner

Maggi: onre

Maggi: one first

Ying-Lan: Not Y2k?

Maggi: who ate the bird and drank his beer?

Vance: It's a joke. Imagine that people in the year 999 were worried about the new millenium.

Ying-Lan: what is the joke? Y2K plus one ...

Maggi: no one in this case meant what about the Y2K

Maggi: no, we are worrying about the computer

gold10: what will be taught at section 7?

Ying-Lan: ^It is great!

Maggi: There is an incredible echo here among the teache4rs...

Ying-Lan: ^What is the title of the song you sung.

Michael C: What do you mean Maggie?

Michael C: Ying - the title is "Fear of being too Good."

Maggi: Everytime I write something you or Vance echos it...or vice versus

Michael C: Great minds think alike as they say.

Ying-Lan: ^I was reminded of DAVE... have you met him these days?

Maggi: well...it seems so :-)

Michael C: I spoke to Dave last week.

Maggi: Last time I saw Dave he said he had no time...

Michael C: I think he's now busy with the new teachers.

Ying-Lan: ^He is always busy...

Maggi: ...but initiated a chat with me and then schimpfed when I replied

Ying-Lan: ^Say hello to him...

Ying-Lan: ^Plus my best wishes...

gloria: Do you know Brian Robinson?

Ying-Lan: No, I don't.

Ying-Lan: who?

Maggi: Who is he Gloria?

Vance: I know Brian. Long story.

Vance: What about him?

gloria: Now he is my teacher at TOEFL preparation

Maggi: Is this the teacher Vance in the UAae?

Vance: Oh, how is he doing. He was here at the Palace the last two weeks.

Vance: He's been a teacher for a very long time, but he's just getting into online teaching.

Maggi: I wonder if we are related?

gloria: He is at UAE too

Vance: Yes, he's in Ajman, about 3 hours from where I live.

gloria: I told him about webheads

Ying-Lan: ^He is from British.

Maggi: He is b

Maggi: Bristish

gloria: He is american too

Maggi: British

Vance: No, he's British.

Ying-Lan: ^NO,,, he is a Englishman.

Ying-Lan: ^He was born in English.

Vance: Get him to send you a voice recording.

Maggi: England

Ying-Lan: ^He is also a British.

Vance: He's VERY British.

Maggi: British means anyone from the UK

Ying-Lan: ^His accent is different from Vance. I guessed.

Maggi: he is a Brit Ying

Maggi: Oh yes...

Vance: You're right, Ying. Did you hear him?

Ying-Lan: ^no...

gloria: I though he was american

Maggi: even Vance and I have different accents and we are both American.

(big dogs clan)SHER: @64,64 !It's (big dogs clan)SHER

Vance: Hello big dogs clan sher

Maggi: big dogs?

Maggi: what kind of dogs?

Ying-Lan: ^Last week, I talked to someone in English by phone.. he wanted me to guess where he is from by his accent.

(big dogs clan)SHER: YEA YEA

Maggi: forget it Ying...

gloria: even australians have different accent

Maggi: true göoria

Maggi: oops Gloria

Maggi: I have a friend from Yorkshire who lives in Austria

(big dogs clan)SHER: @64,64 !It's (big dogs clan)SHER

Michael C: Australians have a terrible accent!

Ying-Lan: Really?

(big dogs clan)SHER: yeayesa

Maggi: not necessarily Michare

(big dogs clan)SHER: sup??

gloria: I can recognize australians, britishes and americans from their accents

Maggi: Michael

Ying-Lan: ^Really, gloria.

Maggi: <Oh

Ying-Lan: ^I could not do it...

Vance: That's good, Gloria. People here in the UAE often can't tell British from Americans.

Maggi: yxou might have a hard time with me Gloria

gloria: yes sure thanks in part to the tv

Michael C: My face to face students have big trouble hearing diffferent accents.

Vance: I can't tell where a Spanish person is from unless he or she is from Castillian Spain.

Michael C: My students cannot hear what to me is a VERY obvious American accent.

Ying-Lan: ^me, too. But Michael , your voice is nice to understand.

Vance: Also, I can't really tell an Austrian from a German.

Michael C: You're saying nice things about me tonight Ying!

Ying-Lan: It is true.

gloria: I like american accent the most (sorry Michael)

Michael C: I'll send you more Pure Voice messages!

Ying-Lan: Thanks...

Michael C: Gloria that's terrible!

Maggi: I can tell an Austrian from a German...and Arnold is Austrian!!

Ying-Lan: I hope I will send you more.

Vance: Gloria is perfectly correct there. :-)

Michael C: British accents (or South African) are best by far!

Maggi: i guess it is time I sent a pure voice message.#

Ying-Lan: ^i am desire to listen you, maggi.

Michael C: You're biased Vance. At least I'm objective!

Ying-Lan: ^i desire to listen you, maggi.

gloria: Maybe itīs true Michael but I like american accent..

Maggi: I don't agree Vance...I like Michael's accent.

Maggi: Dave complained I was starting to sound like him!

Maggi: I CAN't take that monotonous rrrrr of some Aamericans

Michael C: All accents sound good!

gloria: Betweenus (latin american people) there are many different accents

Michael C: Are there any Spanish accents you don't like Gloria"?

Vance: I was just joking. I think Michael has a great VOICE, and I'm indifferent to his accent.

gloria: Maybe caribean spanish accents

gold10: can you here each other?

Michael C: So you don't care about my accent Vance. I'm offended!

Maggi: it is a matter of preference

Vance: Yes Gold, we use Pure Voice, which I sent you earlier.

Michael C: So what's wrong with Carribean accents?

Maggi: ...the more I teach the more I like the accents my students have.

gloria: They pronounce r as l

Maggi: so do the Japanese

gold10: @64,64 !It's gold10

gloria: exactly

gold10: can you here each other?

Vance: Guys, I'm going to have to run. I'm taking my family to a play tonight.

Ying-Lan: gold, I don't understand your words/

Maggi: You are leaving too?

Vance: Good night. Install Pure Voice and send us a voice message.

Vance: Oh, ok, let me read your email. Hold on ...

Michael C: That sounds like a hard thing to explain Ying.

gold10: I will try

Ying-Lan: ^reply me by email. right?

MEDO: @64,64 !It's MEDO

Vance: I suggest you download the program again. Maybe there was corruption in the file.

Michael C: Hi Medo. Are you an EFI student?

Ying-Lan: I did it twice.

Vance: Or maybe you got the wrong one by mistake.

Ying-Lan: ^ I did it twice.

gold10: I'm in a public place,so I will do it later

Vance: Oh ... can you tell me the filesize?

Ying-Lan: I forgot it.
