I suspect this may be what used to be known as TOEFL [Test of English as a Foreign Language] ... Your suspicion is incorrect. The TOEFL is a different test. If so, I suspect the change in nomenclature was a matter of political correctness. See above. The TOEIC is business-oriented; the TOEFL is oriented towards academia. |

: TMOliver writes: Other than in South Louisiana (and then with mixed and amusing result), I certainly wouldn't try that progression in the US (and if you think so, it's even more obvious how "out of touch" you are. This statement seems supremely ironic, given that I was talking about the _entire world_ ... not just the U.S. The United States is only a very tiny part of the world, and it is not at all representative.

: William Black writes: Just about everyone I met under about thirty in Bombay spoke some English, including kids working in cheap restaurants, who are, as you're probably aware, just in from the villages and making their way for the first time. "Some English" doesn't really count. Give these acquaintances of yours a TOEIC and you may be surprised. Ironic coming from someone with such a limited command of language such as yourself. Bertie |
