They both want to be something, I
suppose. Don't we all? But isn't that irrelevant to sending
them packing? I think so. I would try to put them in touch
with people who were more expert at those ways of using language.
I'm just a bit too old to teach the most up-to-date, coolest slang, and
being middle-class American, I wouldn't be very good at upper class
Standard British English either. It wouldn't be fair to the
student for me to pretend I could fulfill those wishes.
