You are hoping to pursue a Masters Degree, but are unable to follow the links provided and do you own research? I think you should consider an alternate career path.

P.S. Your shift key isn't working and "you" is spelled "you" not "u", just FYI

What's to be confused about?? Read the sites she has referenced and then decide on what school best fits what you want to study or do you want her to do more research for you? It's not hard to search the internet for schools and/or subjects that would be what you are looking for if you take the time.

I read the note twice; it's hard to believe it is from a college graduate unless English is not the first language. The 4th-graders I taught could write more correct when they arrived in my classroom. But we all know Spring Break is in full swing, at least in TX. Emily

I'm guessing from the syntax that OP is European, maybe German, but that's just a guess. Nevertheless, a (U.S.?) college graduate should have learned to capitalize and spell common English words. Sadly, too many young people think the shortcuts used for text-messaging are also acceptable in real writing.

Someone wanting to ENTER a UK university and study a for a BA in any subject taught in the English language would need a much better command of the language than that, never mind one who had graduated with a BA. Anyone with a BA from a non-English speaking university who wanted to study for a highter degree here would need a similiar facility with the language, second language though that might be.

Such courses of study would mean that they would already KNOW all the fashion colleges of any note anywhere in the world. They might come here asking what we thought of specific ones in specific places - such as 'Which do you thing is better for this particular direction, Central St Martins os LSF?' They would ALREADY have a pile of prospectuses from all those that taught in all the languages they could cope with at higher degree level.

If this person is hoping to start such a course this year in October, they are already too late... ESPECIALLY if they need funding - which usually comes from schollarships offered by various bits of the fashion industry, and is gobbled up sometimes two or three years ahead of the course starting...

I think a LOT more research is needed on their part.

Aw, come on, >my< English isn't that bad, or is it? ;-) (Nah, if it was I wouldn't be miffed if you told me so, just let me know how to do it better, I'm not afraid to learn. It's just that a lot of my brain seems to have leaked out somewhere while breastfeeding. I guess most of you BTDT. ;-))

Oh, Kate told me some amazing things about US college graduates. ;-> But text messaging is the downfall of every language, not only English. You should see what they make of German. And I won't get started on the spelling reform, because that's a topic with a lot to be said about and not much of it is in favour of the whole idea. Just so much: it turned a language that once allowed you to express yourself rather clearly into - I have no words for it, not even in German.

U.

Your English is excellent! My remarks about "tyro" were based on my reading of another newsgroup in which one of the posters, whom I KNOW to be German, uses that same construction: "...working as a [.....] since 1 years now." In English we would have written, "....working as a [...] for 1 year now." or "... for over 1 year now." or "...for several years now." I was making an assumption about the OP which may or may not have been justified.

And for what it's worth, I admire people who are fluent in a second language, which I am not. My remarks were not intended as critisism, just to clarify why OP might have used unusual construction. My critisism remains for the lower case "i" and "u". ;->

i only use i Beverly because i am a two finger typist and my shifting finger is always a bit a bit slower than my i finger so i usually hit shift moments after the i has already appeared or control and sometimes enter and yes i know i am shoud use my right hand/finger to hit the i key but for some reason my left hand wants that job ???

i don't use much punctuation either if you have not noticed :)

i do cap names, though it is quite a struggle but it is out of respect

robb :)

I am firmly of the belief that touch typing is one of the skills that should be in the core curriculum of years 5 & 6 in primary schools.

The person probably needs a good S & M course! (sources and methods!) :-)

One problem with the US system of higher education that many Europeans find confusing is that there are 50 states and each manages its OWN system. Some state legislatures choose to appropriate more money for colleges and universities, others less. Some state systems have higher standards than others both for being accepted into school and then for receiving a diploma. Then in the end we all get the same piece of paper. :-(

This has LONG been a major pet peeve of mine since I was a "classic nerd" (still am!) who wanted to learn and who became very impatient at having to go over the same material fifty gazillion times because some of my classmates wanted to be spoon-fed! I've lived in Sweden for 15 years now so I am not so up-to-date on the US, but I find my young Swedish friends are often much more mature than their American counterparts.

Funny how we don't realize these things until we're too old for them to do us any good. *sigh*

it was a "girls class" after all and i wasn't bright enough (at the time) to realize... that is where i should have been. that is, if i had not been so worried about what the guys were thinking of me i could have maybe? a few more girls thinking about me... maybe ;)

That was so sweet of you! Nobody ever called me or anything connected with my person 'exotic'. I feel very flatterd, thank you! ;-)

@ everybody: I'm sorry, I'm trying to keep up with this thread because I'm deeply interested in it and would like to add my 2 cents, too, though I'm not nearly as qualified as many of you. However, the past couple of days (and those in the near future as so incredibly busy that I hardly find the time to read the contributions properly. So bear with me and if my comments dribble in days later, don't think I'm slow on the uptake, I'm just a mom with a very active toddler who has just learned to walk. (Wanna see? Go here:

and )Well, as it is, I stick to stuff I can write in about 15 min. maximum, incl. reding. Sorry for this. But I'm still with you, or try to be. Had a chat with DH last night in bed where we both mused about the wonders of usenet: Amazing, folks are gazillions of miles apart and still so like-minded. (He is a great fan of Linux, so he has to search for kindred spirits a little longer, too.)

U.

Yes usenet is a wonder and fun. Where e;se could I bind out how to see a picture of a beautiful little girl in Germany. She is a precious little doll. Junp

One gorgeous little Christine! She is precious! Emily

Thank you, we are so very fond of her that I sometimes have to check by looking at pics of her if she's really that beautiful. Anyway, she just keeps both of us busy and it's very lucky that Edgar hasn't much to do at the moment (although - knock on wood - business seems to pick up now). Otherwise I'd be a nervous wreck and on zoloft or whatever it is all the time. Kids are a miracle; when in my late teens and all through my twens I thought 'Never!' and other people's brats didn't touch me at all. Now I find, although my own 'brat' is the most charming and interesting, other folks' kids interesting, too. And news on abducted or abused children are almost too much to bear for me, with a thought like 'it could be yours' in the back of my head.

U.

Thank you, but we did almost nothing to it, we just feed, clothe and wipe bum. ;-) *inside feeling immensly proud of her*
