Good afternoon.
Thanks for adding me, Shari.
My suggestion for a nick-name to stick to this fantastic blog is "sscud," like "scud" which means clouds or rain driven by wind, among other things.
I'm about to have coffee with my Conversational English tutee, Derek, who is Korean and chose the American name Derek because he was told it sounds manly. I think so. I'll tell him you all said hi.
