That's what tends to happen when one is capable of speaking more than just one language :P haha.

Besides, that lexicon of words are not used when we're in a professional setting.

Can someone please explain to me why there is an arguement about something so petty and unnecessary?

SA is considered a native country. Fact.

Saying a dog is a cat does not change the fact that its a dog.

Having been in management, I have dealt with placements all around Thailand. North to South.

SA is considered a native country, by all government schools and lots of private schools. Not by much International schools. Fact.

I'll ask him tomorrow (:

@Colin *******

Yes sir. (: The work permit allows you to legally work and therefore earn income from that said employer who issued the permit.

Paid services rendered for legal work. ( a reference to the actual legal work mentioned and not that the work is legal, and also not that the work conducted is illegal haha got to love English.)

"native English speaking South African Teacher" ....there is no reference to my country being native or not. My 1st language is English. (: .

Other than that, thank you for the advice.
