Default Re: passive participles

<I don't believe in god, but I don't mind if you do.>

He believes in you. (Don't you just hate it when someone says that?) Capital G for "God" please.

<"French speaker" : 'could be worse, I could be a Jewish Pole without a passport, I can't complain >

What is "a Pole"? Do you mean "a Polish person"

<I am sooooo bad : I even don't care much about correctness of zee English as long as zee people understand (foist) what people are telling them and they can use an acceptable form of "Globish" (second: global English) to have other people understand zem. >

Great, as long as they don't have to do job interviews or university entrance exams. I do hope they are not paying you to teach "casually constructed" English though.

<I don't really bother about terminology, but apparently you didn't get the point. Or maybe I should say "You have misunderstood me">

Try "It's possible that I haven't been too clear, M56." LOL!

<That's the main difference between the two of us I think, and I hope you will have enough sense of humour to excuse my atavic irony: >

I'm a teacher trainer of both native and nonnative speakers...my sense of humour has to be enormous.
