"Really? I was talking about how conservative didn't used to be a dirty word, but that the original meaning has been twisted. If I said "conservative" should mean "cautious" would that convey my meaning . . ." more

"SueB's point is well taken. The true synonym for "conservative" is "moderate" and the true opposite of "conservative" should not be "liberal" -- it should be "extremist". The term "right-wing conservative" . . ." more

you're doing it still, then--TEFLism, i mean?

i've got a friend in Japan, doing the same thing (sometimes: also works for some big-industry on a translator gig). don't recall the district offhand...but have you ever run into him? his name: Brendan O'Shea.

Jim, Yes. I should have given you the stats on my computer earlier. I do have itunes already on the computer. It's a Dell Dimension (nothing fancy) with Windows XP Professional on it.

That's funny. I'll to do some investigating! Wish me luck. I don't mind being overwhelmed. I love free education. I could be a perpetual student if allowed! Thanks for your help!

Hi, Jim. I sure appreciate your comments, especially about itunes. I did do a little bit of searching about those free downloads. I didn't get too far, because of computer problems. But I intend to do some more research. In the meantime, could you help me out with some tips on how to use this resource best? At first glance, it was a little confusing to me.

For example, I don't have an ipod or mp3 player except on the computer. I know we can listen to podcasts with the computers. Someday I intend to move into the 21st century and get an ipod, but unfortunately right now we're in survival mode. So I have to put some things on the back burner. So any help you can send my way would really be appreciated! You know, links and such. Does How Stuff Works have any tutorials on this? That would be one way to learn, I suppose.

My intention was not to offend anyone. It's just that Korea and Japan are not swamped with literally millions of illegal aliens as the U.S. is. I was curious what hospital policy is.
