The way I see it: Lemon was an outcast of St. George and his ching-glish sucks no matter how we interpret it.

Don't just automatically assume that if he attended school here in N.A., his English will be good. That's a false assumption to begin with and many folks made that mistake in the past for I've seen many ching-lish speakers whose been around here for a long, long time (try old migrants in our chinatown for gawd's sake). You have to commit yourself into learning/practicing the language before you can be comfortable at it. Eating screws is just a sign that he isn't fluent in the language to begin with, forget about his private schooling background.

If he wants to become fluent in English (not ching-lish), come back to B.C. stay here and work for in a white man society for another 15 yrs then (I dare him).
