Yes, I am guilty. Put me up against a wall and hang a wooden board around my neck. Let all around know of my crime of linguistic imperialism.
Cock the gun, press it against my temple and squeeze the trigger, because as an English teacher I am one of the worst offenders.
It's true. For the last five years I have been associated with a secret movement, backed by English-speaking countries around the world, to invade China with English in an effort to destroy the purity of the Chinese language.
