I could cover Shadow but I think that I have made that point enough.
A Brazilian with perfect use of American-English idiom is suspecious
to say the least. I lived around Portuguese speakers all of my life
and have yet to know one that could deal so precisely with English.

 
Thank you. Practically all the medical books I read are in
English. Medical articles too. I'm even more fluent in Portuguese,
FWIW (see my postings to soc.culture.brazil, dealing with local
politics. Been there for 30 years).
Plus I enjoy a movie, and most good movies are in Real English
or American.

If you are a real Brazilian, I appologize if I in some way insulted you,

 
I am actually ashamed of being Brazilian.
It's a horrible country to live in. Violent criminals abound.
Did you know there are more murders in Brazil in a year than in the
US/Canada/ the EU/Russia  combined?
It's amazing what almost 40 years of right wing military
dictatorship can do to a culture.
 
You should watch "Brazil" by Terry Gilliam. It's a caricature
of what Brazil became with some 1984 thrown in.
 

but American idiom gives native Americans trouble as well.

 
Well, you don't have many good public schools. And people can
no longer afford private tutors...

Why would you say "right wing military dictatorship" when a military dictatorship has almost nothing to do with politics?

Because there are right wing and left wing military
dictatorships.
Right wing military dictatorships tend to impose religion on
people, they "kill, torture and maim in the name of god". "Big
Business" (usually foreign)decides how far they can go.
Military dictatorships are also stupid, because, well, the
military are not very intelligent. They impose themselves by force,
not ideas.

It's probably easier to live under a right wing military
dictatorship than a left wing dictatorship. Dunno, I've only
experienced right-wing.
