How come sometimes you speak (type) perfect English and other times (mostly) you put on the broken_English act? Think it's cute or something?

What's you regular screen name?

Sometimes, my father asks me to edit his English because he knows sometime he is not understood by Americans. Mostly I tell him it's OK and everyone here will understand. Most people here are actual travelers and get past the languange challenge.
What country are you from?

It's the sound of Freedom, ain't it great!!! It's a shamed that so many people take it for granted.

I don't hear anything in the Financial District (Montgomery @ Sacramento)

Buses and BART are bad this morning, everyone at work noticed.

The Blue Angels arrived today (Wed. 10/4) at SFO around 12:30 p.m.


What is it you were "hearing and seeing" on Monday? Hmm?

I don't believe they fly to Monterey on their practices. When they used to come to Moffett Field I could see everything and they were not that far away.

Rugpilot...are you always pulling our leg? or just sometimes? Are you tongue in cheek? Or, god help us, are you not?

Shanghainese, when was this commotion with the fire in the Market @ 5th area? Maybe this was what he was hearing? Was it Monday?

Not hearing today. Was hearing on 2nd OCT. Very North + South flight line overhead and visible for many miles from my home for that day. Was working all the week ,not hearing more jets since then. I living in Silicon Valey, not in the SF.

That's interesting, because they came in yesterday from Cape Cod Massachusetts where they had been for the previous week.

NOW I hear them! And as my co-workers hear them too, I know I'm not hallucinating

To hit Kal with umbrella? Let me see... Nah, I better show him a wine bottle and take it away
