kevcom1, if you believe that speak and write are interchangeable, go ahead. That they are totally different forms of production should be obvious, and if you are a teacher I hope you put it into practice. If your definition of old is....old enough to know better, then you are confused. If you think this forum is for adolescents who never grew up, and who post like the script of American Pie 3, or one of those mindless pieces of pap, then you are a sad case, and perhaps facebook is more suited to you [and yes, you can get it in China]. As for calling me a douchebag, I'm really not sure of the similarities, except its a word I generally hear used by misogynists from north of Mexico. And no, I'm not an expat. these days. You'll see one in the mirror.
