I think ap is fluent. But I'm Canadian so what do I know. :) 

[/quote] Canuck or Quebecoise?

[/quote]

Canuck, from Vancouver. I've heard people speak like ap and he or she could well be from the US. He or she writes formally but that doesn't mean he or she isn't a native speaker. I haven't seen any outright mistakes. I can see who is Finnish easily, though.

I woke up and drove my husband to work. After that I stopped by at my daughter's school to get her schedule. Then I drove home, cooked some porridge for my baby and fed him. The boy from nextdoor came here to play with my son. Now I sit on the floor at downstairs, eating my breakfast and playing with the baby, while the boys plays upstairs with Legos. Soon I should put the baby to his crib for taking a nap. Meantime I will searh Internet and read a book called Gone With the Wind. About 3 pm I will take my daughter and the baby and head to market called Target. My daughter will buy some school stuff there. After that we will pick up my husband and drive home for dinner. Rest of the evening, I don't know yet. 

If someone is wondering timing, it's 12.20 pm here right now.

[/quote] You have a long way to go :(

yeah, I know :) I don't give a shit. I don't need to be fluent, I need to be capable to communicate with people, and I defenetely can do that. That's enough for me. Maybe I'll become more fluent during these years, maybe not, who cares? I know I don't ;)

Vielä muuten sellanen "vakavahenkinen" näkökulma tähän sinänsä viihdyttävään ketjuun (varsinkin sen jälkeen kun selvisi, että kommunikoin tyttäreni kanssa Vauva-palstan välityksellä):

Ketjun aloittajalla on hyvä pointti. Suomalaiset tosiaan puhuvat yleisesti otaten hyvää englantia, ja myös ääntämys on tavallisesti melko ymmärrettävää kaikista "ralli-englanti"-moitteista huolimatta. Ne jotka muuta väittävät, voisivat vähän matkustella maailmalla ja kuunnella esim ranskalaista, venäläistä, espanjalaista tai kiinalaista aksenttia. Aika avartavaa on myös asua maassa, jonka virallinen kieli on englanti, ja todeta, että tässäkin maassa (USA, NC) on laumoittain ihan omia kansalaisia, jotka eivät puhu englantia lainkaan. Tälle ryhmälle on tarjolla valtion (/kunnan / piirikunnan/ mikä tahansa instanssi julkisia koulupalveluita rahoittaakaan) rahoittama tulkkipalvelu esim. lasten kouluasioiden järjestämisessä. Näiden ihmisten äidinkieli on siis yleensä espanja. 

Ollaan ylpeitä englanninkielen taidoistamme, vaikkei se täydellistä olisikaan. Ja käytetään sitä kieltä myös, vaikkei se täydellistä olisikaan. Ainoa keino oppia kieltä on käyttää sitä rohkeasti. 

I'm tired. I think my son has chicken pox, and last night he didn't sleep well (so I was awake too). He's got fever, and he's been very exhausted all day. He hasn't got appetite quite at all, and I'm little bit concerned. But I've got time to knit. We're expecting baby girl to come near Christmas, so I've done several pairs of (wool) socks and mittens for her so she doesn't have to freeze in the middle of the Laplands cold winter. But all along, beautiful day of autumn it's been, I enjoy. Soon candles and good series will make my day perfect and closed.

Do you live in Porvoo? Because honestly honey... I've lived in California and no one talks like that. Sad.

Not much to tell about me day. Been knackered and all that shite. Trying to get shit-faced with me mates rite now.

[/quote] Shows extremely poor judgement to call somebody 'honey', even in Cali. The only ones still using that kind of language are old greasy spoon waitresses called LaVerne.

I'm fluent in english, tell me about your day in english and I'll tell you if you can speak it. 

Finns are really shy and most of you speak great english, I just want you to know that. :)

[/quote] Hi fluent! English is written with a capital E. Just wanted to  let you know.

Fluent in English, but doesn't know it starts with capital letter. Thanks but no thanks.

You actually can't say if someone can speak english or not, if they WRITE something down here. It's not the same.

:'D

I came to av palsta and read about ebola. It's coming to Finlandia soon. We will probably all die. But I'm not sad because a great man called Vladimir in Russia is helping me country. Poor finnish people will get cheap cheese from him. I want to thank him. PUTIN, I LOVE YOU! This is everything I'm thinking today.

Let's not get hung up on semantics. :) I said I was fluent in the language, not that I have perfect grammar. Most native speakers actually have terrible grammar. 

I woke up at 6 am, took a long hot shower and then I had breakfast. My breakfast is the same every morning: apple juice, a cup of tea with milk and sweetener, rye bread with ham and cheese. I did my make and hair, gor dressed and drove to work. I worked for eight hours and I am feeling absolutely shattered now. After work I ate and walked my dog. Now I'm just wasting time on the Internet.

Jaha, koulu on taas alkanut ja joku neropatti on saanut enkunpistareista kympin. :)  Arvostele ihan itseäsi vain ja pysyttele siellä oppitunneilla hereillä!

Finns are mean and think they know everything because they went to school. You don't get this kind of shit as much in other countries. I'm only here for a bit and moving back home because of specifically that. The people. Finns are closedminded and overly scared, conservative and rasist. Just a random American's point of view.

I speak fluent english, too. 

Today I had a day off, I went to the gym and then went to the tori and had a nice coffee and munkkipossu. One of the only things I'll miss about this country. Then I had a nice walk with a friend. Now and movie and then bed.

Have a nice evening.

[/quote] I'm totally discombobulated, my hubby has been yanking my chain all day. The old coot thinks he is the cat's meow, all that and a bag of chips. So there, that's been my day.
