I think Telvin will be fine.  He's probably doing what alot of players think about doing at some point in their careers, but others still play anyway.  

I always love the "use english" debate.  Is it reallyyyyyyy English though, or what the founders made up as their own broken english.  i like slang, its like our race making our own broken english language ourselves.  Ironic isnt it.

British English and American English are definitely very different. I've always wanted to learn how "jumpers" became "sweaters" and "trainers" became "sneakers", among many others. While living in Germany I became friends with an Australian girl who was married to an American soldier and sometimes she sounded completely foreign to me. Lol. 

As for slang, I don't mind it, use(d) plenty of it myself, but I'm of the age now, and never having raised any kids to keep me up to date on such things, I am lost more often than not on slang and acronyms. I learned a lot from living and working in the ghetto of Jacksonville but that was 10 years ago now. Living in small town NC doesn't keep me up on such things.

He's using english

I guess I'm this case sentence structure or full sentences would make more sense. Whatever the case, I just didn't understand what he was saying in the way he worded it.
