Romano,

Your English is not really so bad. You are almost always completely understandable. But the way you put your sentences together is not how it's "normally" done in U.S. Sometimes you leave out small words. For instance, in the above sentence, you left out the word "to". It should be, "Can someone explain to me why?"

Don't sweat it. Nobody's picking on you, honest. I think we're all just enjoying hearing a different accent on the board. For example, we had an official who often posted from Australia. (Where has Duane gone, anyway?) We would occasionally poke fun at some of the words or phrases he used that were not in common usage in the States. It's done in good humor (usually ), and not to make anyone feel bad. Keep posting, ok?!?!

Chuck
