    I disagree. I develop (Mac) OS X and Windows software with Delphi FireMonkey. The Object Pascal language does not contain any curly braces and the Delphi Firemonkey GUI is very similar to Visual...

    For the moment the exact name of the Mac operating system is just OS X but Apple said they are going to rename it macOS shortly.

    You hit the nail on the head. I personally believe that this ambition should be pursued by all language teachers.

    Re: Linguistic tips for a non-native speaker

    Thanks. Anyway, getting rid of my foreign accent is also a question of self-esteem for me, as I am an English teacher. So, I think I'll have to roll up my sleeves and work hard on it.
