Hi, Delia,
This is Abdullah, alias B.D.
Wacker told me about your help, and my wife and I are so thankful to you. My course should start on 12 January 2011. I expect to arrive at the beginning of the month for the beginning of the second semester in the USA, whjch is going to start on the 4th of January. The furnished house that we are looking for is 3 or 4 bedrooms in a good and quiet district that is close to an elementary school and Lackland Air Force Base if possible.
Regards,
B.D _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

Mister Micawber, I am so thankful for the time and effort that you gave to correct my email. If you do not mind, I would like to ask you question about the verb "hack" I hear some Americans and Britches say sometimes "to hack the exercise or to hack something" it means to be able to participate in the exercise or to be there during the exercise" If you do not mind explain more. |

I have never heard the idiom, and I am American. The only related phrase I know is 'to be unable to hack', which means 'be unable to tolerate':
I cannot hack the long lines at the bank. I just can't hack being a yes-man in my office. Are you able to hack long hours at your computer? Then this job is just right for you. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

| Thank you for correcting my understanding. I can not hack the broken English that I have. |
