I get nothing but criticism in this paper about my English, and yet it turns out that most people in your country don't even kknow where Estonia is located-what a bunch of hypocrites are living out there in cyberspace and beyond. How comparable is the inability not to be able to read an atlas compared with my level of English? Have a nice day anyhow.

0what do you mean, don't know where Estonia is? is there something you missunderstood in the article?

0Actually, it is referring to the article that was in the Toronto Star. Yes, a lot of Canadians (and even less Americans, and I bet a lot of people in different parts of the world) don't know where Estonia is, and have probably never even heard of it, and it is very helpful to include a map. Next time they will know where our little country is located.

0Do you believe that the criticism you've received for your English has been unjustified? If so, why?

0You are probably right: most Canadians can't locate Estonia without consulting an atlas. By the same token, you can't identify the countries that border on Bolivia, Cameroon or Kazakstan.
You can be certain, however, that the citizens of all of those countries (head-cases excepted) can speak their native tongue; an ability that has evaded you (so far). You are the world's only illiterate who believes that he's an intellectual, and you wonder why your lectures provoke jeers.
It's time for some language instruction and, indeed, therapy.
