Many of us here use content companies as additional income or part of our income. The thing about some content companies, especially the ones that are ghostwriting (no byline) services, unlike print publications will not pay...

Comagirl Absolutely right. If you have delivered on-brief, and they change their mind or want additional versions, then that's new work and comes with a new bill. Don't let anyone exploit your talents and goodwill unfairly!

I know there are Mylotters from all over the world contributing here, and I'd be very interested in your thoughts on my situation. I have two daughters, 5 and 10 years, and we are English and lived in Spain for 2 years. So far...

Comagirl Yes, in my area of Spain the first language is Valenciano, and the girls will have to learn that at school too. Although we have been careful to choose a school who's primary language of communication is Castellano, so we can communicate with them! In time...

Comagirl An excellent point, I am sure a great deal of our inherent laziness as language learners stems from the global use and recognition of English. Personally I believe that UK schools ought to start language teaching much earlier than they do, and also that...

Comagirl Certainly I agree, it's a major flaw in the UK economy, that so few of the population have second language skills. You clearly write excellent English, the kind of language skills that are so hard to acquire as an adult, and have to be absorbed as a child......

Nowadays, when you live in a country whose employment opportunity is scarce, you are often times left with no choice but to that overseas. You are then forced to leave your kids under the custody of a family member or someone you...

Comagirl I think all kids need consistency and boundaries to make them feel safe. I know a number of single parents, men and women, who do an awesome job of bringing up children who feel totally secure and loved - and it's a dreadful thing to say but I think many of...

How do you feel about the people who are bilingual, trilingual, etc...? Would you feel offended if they spoke their native language instead of speaking English in the US? How would you feel if your co-workers were...

Comagirl Definitely! Learning a new language helps you understand your native tongue from a different perspective. As you learned your first language without rules and structures as an infant, you can only understand the structure once you examine it from the 'outside'...

Comagirl Thank you very much for that encouraging response... we cannot immerse in both languages at home as our language learning as adults is way behind theirs (going to have to accelerate that big time though to keep up!), and we work in a UK company online all day....

Comagirl I ended up slightly disappointed by the conclusion. Almost a re-hash of season 3(4?), when Jack faked his death and Michelle and Tony helped him escape, with a thanks and farewell phonecall from President Palmer. I expected better after all these years,...
