When I was England I thought it would be proper to look for a book on English grammar usage. I mean I would be English teacher in Japan soon, maybe it would be a good time to brush up on my basics.

While at the British Library I found a book titled

Mend Your English: Or What You Should Have Been Taught at Primary School

by Ian Bruton-Simmonds. The book seemed good so I bought it.

Several months later, and a delivery of the finest Seattle coffee from home, I’m sitting on my couch and I begin reading the book. About 22 pages in I become very self-conscience about my English. I couldn’t read any further in shame– This made writting my last blog entry extremely tough (editing over and over).

At least the coffee was excellent.
