"LEON'S EFL PLANET" IS A FRAUDULENT SITE!! LEON **DID NOT PASS** HIS POST
GRADUATE CERTIFICATE HE DISPLAYS SO PROUDLY ON THIS SITE. HE DISPLAYS A
CERTIFICATE FROM 'THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM', U.K.- WHICH WAS A FAILURE!
BECAUSE OF CORRUPTION AND A SPECIAL *FRIEND* AT BHAM, LEON GOT A THIRD
READING FOR A TWICE (2 TIMES!) FAILED COURSE MODULE. LEON IS A HYPOCRITE
AND A FAKE, BUT SEEMS TO BE PROUD TO BE PART OF DISCUSSIONS ON IMPROVING
EDUCATION. PLEASE WRITE TO ME AT PHENSTE_2003@YAHOO.CA FOR THE ACTUAL
ORIGINAL MESSAGES FROM BIRMINGHAM SUPERVISOR(S) STATING HOW "SLOW" HIS
INTELLECT IS. THIS SITE, ITSELF, IS FULL OF MISTAKES - I DO NOT RECOMMEND
ATTEMPTING TO LEARN ANYTHING HERE. **PROFESSOR** -STEPHEN D. GODFREY,

I hate to tell you this, but egg rolls are actually called spring rolls in
Chinese. Egg rolls are cookies in Hong Kong and China. I dunno who coined
them egg rolls, but they are not made of eggs and they are not called egg
rolls in Chinese. And yeah, they are a Chinese food. Usually consumed
during New Year, to welcome in the Spring Festival. Which is the Chinese
New Year, if you didn't know that.

Since you said that the second part was pure nonsense, why don't I give it
a go? Original: Produced Meticulous A Present First Choose 100%
Possible correction: Produced meticulously as an entirely first choice
gift. OR Produced meticulously as a gift that should absolutely be your
first choice. (Since the cookies claim to have pure European taste, it is
regarded as high quality and therefore, excellent as a gift.) There you go.
Are you learning anything yet?

To the smart aleck who posted all the comments in "My Personal List of
Chinglish Compiled by Leon" You must have had fun poking fun at the English
you found in China. However, I suggest that you also upgrade your English
skills. Someone who cannot not even spell "production" correctly should not
be criticizing others! You wrote - "What about a space after punction
marks?" and "PRODCUTION DATE". This can further be seen in your sentence
with the cookies -"The cookies are best consumed soon after opening the
package to insure freshness." I think you mean ensure NOT insure!!
I don`t think you should be TOO anal in criticizing about the spacing
between the punctuation marks either. In Asia, there are usually no spaces
between the characters. (if you haven`t failed to notice) I suggest that
you put your time to good use such as studying more about the Chinese
culture instead of bashing about every LITTLE thing you see!!!

Leon,
I attempted email without luck... so:

I have long been a fan of your site, especially the concise and
readable definitions of various figures of speech. I have recently
posted my own site specifically dealing with metaphors and idioms
that reference dogs either directly or indirectly: The Canine in
Conversation: Dogs in Metaphor and Idiom, Illustrated
(www.metaphordogs.org) It is strictly non-commercial. I have
included a link to your site on the companion page, Speaking of Dogs:
http://www.iconoclastic.net/speakingofdogs/figures.html . If you
think it appropriate it would be great to have a link from your site
to mine. Additionally, I do not know if I would qualify for an unpaid
advertisement, if so I would be interested in that as well.
Thanks for all your hard work over the years.

Hello Leon.
Firstly, I really like your page!! it's really good!!
Secondly, I only have one request and my headline say something. The reason
is because I want to practice when I'm out from net. So if you can help me,
I will be very thankful with you.
Thank you and kind regards.

I have the absolute proof right from the University of Birmingham
*Supervisors* of the failure of Leon's post-graduate certificate - NOT a
Master's Degree! If you wish quality tutoring I suggest that you at least
check-out my claims about "Leon The Liar." He FAILED - PERIOD!

I read your "Theory about Korean Origins" piece. The part about the
Mongolian Spot and the survey you conducted on your class-- you said that
every Korean believes that only Koreans and Mongolians have them and you
asked "wouldn't the Japanese have them too?"
Well I live in Nihon, and it is actually true that the Nihonjin have them
and they don't go away. This is what led me to your site. It is unknown
where the Nihonjin came from and I am very curious about it. I hope maybe
this is news to you? Maybe it will help your research. It would be very
interesting if you figured out where they came from.
Also, the part about the Japanese language coming from Chinese--well that
is partly true and not true. There are three syllabaries- Hiragana,
Katakana, and Kanji. A lot of the Kanji actually is Chinese characters but
they do not mean what the Chinese interpret them as. We use them only for
the sound they make. But anyway, the written language is rooted in Chinese.
