May 10th, 2007 at 6:40AM: If you've ever traveled to a country in which English was NOT the Mother Tongue, you've undoubtedly run into people who spoke only a smattering of English. Moreover, when non-native English speakers address each other in front of a native English speaker, the results can be confusing, though vaguely English-like. In an effort to get non-native English speakers to be able to communicate more ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Don't Speak English...Parlez Globish !
May 10th, 2007 at 6:40AM: If you've ever traveled to a country in which English was NOT the Mother Tongue, you've undoubtedly run into people who spoke only a smattering of English.

May 7th, 2007 at 7:17PM: Lo, it is with mixed emotions that I report on the final episode of The Amazing Race All-Stars. On the one hand, I'm excited to see which team will win (Will it be a team I've been rooting for all along?). On the other hand, once the season is over, what'll I do on Sunday nights? Anyway, if you haven't yet seen the season finale, stop reading now! We're going to reveal the winner. But for those of ...The Amazing Race All-Stars: Episode 11 Recap
Apr 30th, 2007 at 11:10AM: We're down to our second to last episode with the Amazing Race All-Stars. As always, if you didn't get a chance to watch last night's episode yet, stop reading now! I'd hate to spoil all of the fun. But for those of you who saw it, or want the juicy details right now, continue on. Let's go! Last week the "beauty queens," Dustin & Kandice drove their mini-moke to the island of Taipa, and ...The Amazing Race All-Stars: Episode 10 Recap
Apr 23rd, 2007 at 12:00PM: We're down to just three episodes left of the Amazing Race All-Stars, and it's starting to get exciting! If you don't like reading spoilers, please head somewhere else. This recap is as spoiled as year-old milk. Let's go! Last episode left off with Erik & Danielle arriving last and marked for elimination, while Danny & Oswald arrived first. They're the first to leave the pit stop in Hong ...The Amazing Race All-Stars: Episode 9 Recap
Apr 16th, 2007 at 11:45AM: Fortunately -- unlike the previous week -- last night my DVR chose to work properly and I got to see the 9th episode of the Amazing Race All-Stars. As always, if spoilers aren't your thing, head somewhere else, because this recap is filled with them. REAL spoilers, unlike that April Fools joke I played that people still read and comment on thinking I was serious. Anyway, let's go! Last week the ...The Amazing Race All-Stars: Episode 8 Recap
Apr 9th, 2007 at 10:35AM: I'd like to take this opportunity to voice my extreme displeasure with two things: Mediacom cable television, and the Motorola DVR system. Mediacom is, quite simply, the worst company I've ever had to deal with. They are absolute hogs when it comes to customer service, and their digital cable feed is consistently sketchy, out of service, or just unwatchable. It kills me that I have absolutely no ...The Amazing Race All-Stars, Episode 7 Recap, (Or, I Turned Amazing Race Into A Drinking Game)
Apr 2nd, 2007 at 1:39AM: Since Justin and I have been so distracted during the previous 6 episodes of the Amazing Race All-Stars when Charla and Mirna speak to people in that weird "can-you-understand-me-now?"-accent, I thought tonight's special 2-hour episode would be a fine time to have fun. Tonight, I'm turning the Amazing Race into a drinking game: every time Charla or Mirna talk in a funny accent, I'm going to swig ...The Amazing Race All-Stars: Episode 6 Recap
Mar 26th, 2007 at 11:54AM: Beware! This Amazing Race episode 6 recap contains spoilers, so if you haven't seen the latest episode and don't want any of the juicy details before you watch, stop reading! For the rest of you, let's go... Last week we left the racers in Mozambique, and picked up this week with each team learning they will now fly to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, Africa. It turns out this isn't as easy as it sounds, ...The Amazing Race All-Stars: Episode 5 Recap
Mar 19th, 2007 at 11:47AM: As always, if you don't want to hear any spoilers, please leave the room now. Otherwise, let's go! Last week we left off in Argentina, where Rob and Amber went from first place to last and were eliminated from the race. This week holds some more surprises....let's find out what happened. Since Oswald & Danny were the first to arrive last week, they're the first to receive the next clue: grab a ...The Amazing Race: All-Stars -- Episode 4 Recap
Mar 12th, 2007 at 11:30AM: We're back again with another Amazing Race: All-Stars episode recap and, just like last week, this one's a doozy. Like always, if spoilers are not your thing, and you haven't seen last night's episode, stop reading now! For those that dare, follow me... Fresh off of three consecutive first-place wins, Ramber were first to leave the pit-stop and fly over 800 miles to Punta Arenas, Chile -- will the ...The Amazing Race All Stars, Episode 3 Recap: "Use Yer Boobs"
Mar 5th, 2007 at 9:30AM: After watching last week's episode of the Amazing Race, I was a little apprehensive. After all, one of the challenges took place inside a board room. That is neither Amazing nor, um, amazing. So it was with some trepidation that I sat down to watch Episode 3. First and foremost on my mind was the question: Cold Charla and Mirna get any more annoying? (Short answer: yes.) Second on my list of ...The Amazing Race All-Stars, Episode 2 Recap
Feb 26th, 2007 at 1:02PM: Oh, the Amazing Race never seems to fail. If you haven't seen the second episode and aren't interested in hearing any spoilers, please stop reading now. Otherwise, let's go! Last week we left the All-Star Amazing Racers (minus one team) in Quito, Ecuador, where the 1st pit-stop was from the premiere episode. The episode begins with Drew -- the same guy who tripped and fell on the concrete in some ...The Amazing Race All-Stars: 1798 Miles and Lots of Bad Accents
Feb 19th, 2007 at 9:40AM: I love watching The Amazing Race. While I don't care much for the teammate squabbling, I love seeing so many remote parts of the world, many of which are non-traditional staples of American TV viewing. This season, the series' 11th, boasts the so-called All-Stars. Featuring some teams you may have rooted for in the past -- and some teams you may not have rooted for -- this season will, no doubt, ...The Amazing Race: All Star teams announced
Jan 19th, 2007 at 12:32PM: I'm not afraid to admit it: I love watching The Amazing Race. Take 22 not-so-savvy travelers and set them loose on a race around the world, watching them pit against each other, go through extreme culture shock, and be generally daft while representing America to the rest of the world. What's not to love? I was excited, then, to find out that the upcoming 11th season of the race is an all-star ...
