Oh, and for those that are picking on the Australian education system... I have been through the US, Australian, and Scandinavian systems, as well as the International School Association system during my childhood and high school. My view is the Australian system was actually the better one, although ISB in the 1980s comes a close second.

On my day to day business dealings with international companies, I can't really find any trend as to whether any English speaking country is worse than others grammatically. It strikes me to be more of a personal thing. Some people do not see grammar as important. For example, I have come across many Engineers who do not consider attention to grammatical detail in email as being that important. Lawyers, on the other hand, consider it to be a big deal and at times can get overly pedantic.

Why did you need to do the Scando system if the Aussie one was so good?

Because (as has been made obvious on here) the Aussie school system is on par with Thailand's.

There does seem to be a surge of Grammar School and University educated scholars on TD.

Has DD been advertising in the Times Educational Supplement? If so I recommend the bar being raised to 2.1 of 1st's only being allowed posting rights. Unless a generous donation is made instead.

HGV Licence classes C, C1, C&E, C1+E are also very welcome and much appreciated for their proven abilities to string three words together, with appropriate use of the comma, rustle up a three course Thai or English Sunday Lunch, satisfy a nubile young wife and display the appropriate human kindness to those who are forced to live in any form of mobile home.

a surge

[Lambik]

Pattaya, DarkSide, Soi 43, Nernplubwan, there is a grove with a clearly board which mention not to drop any garbage there, in English... only.

[OhOh]

a surge

"A rise of activity"

"to rise suddenly to an excessive or abnormal value <the stock market surged to a record high>"

Yep, you need to see about your uni refund. Unless you were studying Chinese of course.

Kee kwai;

Kee= shit.
Kwai= penis.
Kee kwai = penis shit* in Thai colloquialism.

*Kee, = shit, as in kee nok, meaning bird shit, an epithet sometimes applied in a derogatory fashion to Farang by Thai.

Smegma = accumulated penile effusion found under the unwashed foreskin of an uncircumcised penis.

Thus;
keekwai synonymous to smeghead, aka dickhead.

Why anyone would wish to label themselves as such only an Ocker would know.

[Bobcock]

the slang for penis ie kluay....banana has an l in it and when pronounced properly is audible. กล้วย note the 'lor ling' at second letter.

Of course many people mispronounce through laziness, a common Thai trait, but facts are facts.

kwai in this case is 'buffalo' (the avatar may have given you a clue) and the preceding kee doesn't literally mean 'shit', it's just a prefix for something bad for want of a better word...... e.g. kee mao....very drunk....

Other than that ENT your analysis is spot on....55555

[keekwai]

"A rise of activity"

"to rise suddenly to an excessive or abnormal value <the stock market surged to a record high>"

Thank you teacher. But it was the "drama queen" like over exaggeration I was dumbfounded by.

[Bobcock]

Aaaah...the rather worthless buffalo speaks.....5555.....

Kee kwai;

Your knowledge of Thai is truly .... underwhelming.

As opposed to a "surge' in degree holders ... there seems to be a surge in the numbers of ignorant tossers embarrassing themselves.

[ENT]

^^You are a case in point.

Really....5555....come on we're in Thailand not Wales, give it to me in the local language, you seem to be quite proficient....

[keekwai]

Yes Bob.

Wow!. All Aussies are Ockers. All Brits are Cockneys. All Americans are rednecks! Keep it up guys ... Your ignorant schoolboy internet warrior antics are cracking me up!
