Around the time schools start to have final exams, ever since that thing happened, I began getting a handful of emails like this one:
Hello, my name's Florence and I live in France, in a little town near Paris. The other day, I had an oral exam in English, and a part of the exam was the analysis of an "unknown document"... which happened to be the poster you did on November 4th, 2007 "I saw the girl of my dreams..." So I analysed it and everything, and in the end I said "it's probably a fake document" and the teacher said "Actually, I think it's real..." So I checked it out for myself, and I must say I'm really impressed ! I didn't know guys still knew how to be romantic and respectful to women. Anyway, my mom's an English teacher too, and she found your poster pretty great, so she's going to give it to her pupils in class to study it...
It's very bizarre, crazy, cool to think that the story is being taught as a lesson in other countries. It's also interesting to see foreign perception's of Americans and the lessons chosen to represent the English language.
