Christine, I must echo you here since I am also an English teacher although of a Chinese race. I have always been puzzled by 'loosing a lot of weight' and think that American English is different. My husband reminds me not to be too picky on people's writing as long as I understand what they mean. Difficult but I'm learning and it seems that I become more tolerant and accepting after my illness. A good side effect!

Karen.
