@oristarA,
The brainwashing has been going on for centuries, Ori, and it continues to this day. There are many nonsense rules that people spout without thinking. McTag has been badly brainwashed, and yet he still offers excellent advice many times.
I think that you may have misunderstood JPB's response. Her response wasn't a dig at you;
Her 'shocked' emoticon and then the statement,
"And, you're asking us how to communicate in English?"
says, "You've been showing us that you're so damn good at English that you needn't be asking us about English!
