I Hope you don't mind Florent has changed your Avatar. sometimes he is a bit straightforward. He likes your photo so much !
I am pleased you are now " moderateur" because I do want to know more about your culture.
Florent, have you noted that Krystyna is now a moderateur ? She can help us improve our english

- I don't know what Krystyna will say but I would just like to state Americans use less the present perfect tense than the Brits and they'd prefer the past (preterit): changed, did you note
- the English for "moderateur" is moderator
- the correct sentence "is you are now a moderator", as you wrote it in the next sentence
- the right spelling is improve
- I don't know about statistics but I guess the trend is to get rid of "to" and write "help us improve our English".

Regarding her kangaroo avatar, let's see if Krystyna will dare complain but...

Thanks Gérard

Hi everyone,

To Muriel and Gérard,
Thank you for my "promotion" to moderator.
I will try my best to have you all speaking like "true-blue dinky-di" Australians !
Hum, I wonder if you will find the meaning of this expression ?

To Florent,
Do you think I am prettier than the kangaroo ?
It's okay to have my original avatar.
No worries, mate !
Muriel says you are straightforward ... this is good, it is a trait that we Polish excel at !

I have got a nice story for you about Alzheimer's Disease. This joke was read in The Language Club of Westchester.
In an old people's home, an old man is madly in love with a widow . One day, he takes his courage in both hands and asks if he can marry her. She enthusiastically accepts.
The next day the old man gives her a ring
" What I have to tell you is extremely annoying. Yesterday, I proposed marriage to you but I can't remember if you answered yes or no"
"You did the right thing to call me, I remember saying yes but I don't remember to whom .

Very cute story !
