I think you can post in other alphabets, but I can’t, because the forum software is unfriendly to browsers and operating systems that are not Microsoft. Internet Explorer does not exist for my type of computer, so the forum won’t let me post Russian, for example. Forums like this should be set up according to universal web standards, rather than to Microsoft standards, but unfortunately some web developers don’t care about that. But at least I can post!
Hi Amy!
Hope I pulled your legs too hard. :roll:
Having had a look on the sites you advised me I feel a bit pissed like a newt/ an eft 
particularly when I see the avatar on the left of my posts. Hope you can forgive me.

Yes, a very obvious case of leg-pulling… :mrgreen:
Sorry Amy!
I meant: I hope I haven?t pulled your legs too much, of course! :oops:
Michael
yes, our beloved schwa.
i haven’t picked it up in canadians’ renditions of “about” before. I’ll listen more closely next time i’m up thar.
