Thank you for your timely reminder to be on the lookout for those lacking
skills in written English.

Cockney isn't a language.  Or a dialect.  It is a method.

This reminds me of what a lad I knew said, decades back, upon reading a
booklet of advertising-copy which had been attached to a bottle of a
Mexican beverage:

'Mezcal... a myth, a mystique, a way of life.'

I don't understand the point you are trying to make.
Are you saying:
(1) Off-shoring does not exist?
(2) No U.S. jobs have been lost to off-shoring?
(3) Those U.S. citizens who remain employed in I.T. have done so because of
their massively superior intelligence and diligence?
(4) Every U.S. citizen who has been fired from an I.T. job has been so becau
se
of his obviously inferior intelligence or diligence?
(5) Any statement which could have emanated from racism should immediately
be angrily rejected, based on that possibility, without regard to any truth
it
might contain?

If you agree with any of those points, you are not thinking clearly.
The facts are clear:
U.S. companies are moving all I.T. jobs off-shore as fast they are able.
Not all the Indians are smarter, but they are all cheaper.  Not all the
Americans are stupider, but they are all more expensive.
The motivation is simple economics--it has absolutely nothing to do
with racism or patriotism, and it has little to do with competency.

Perhaps you meant to say that any person who cannot write with correct
spelling and punctuation should be ignored?  (Excluding, of course, those
who acquired their deficiency by accident of birth.)  I think that criterion
would eliminate 90 percent of everyone in I.T.

People who have held onto their jobs--primarily because they are
self-employed or because their employer does not have enough
know-how to find a suitable replacement overseas--invariably believe
that they have kept their jobs because they are brilliant.  This is not
true.  No matter how brilliant you are, there are, let me assure you,
at least ten people more brilliant than you among the two or three billion
people in Asia.  You guys are like turkeys in the turkey farm that
go around high-fiving each other when the axe chops off some
other turkey's head for Thanksgiving dinner, supposing that they
have cleverly outwitted the turkey farmer.

Instead of English critiques, please address the point raised:
American I.T. jobs are being lost to India, Pakistan, and China.  This
situation is not good for the individuals who lose their jobs.  Sooner
or later, it is not good for the governments who live off the taxes
paid by those individuals.

P.S. Your "possesive" does not poses enough "s"'s.

No, No, No, No and No.

If you only look at one side of the issue, the evil of outsourcing seems
obvious.

If you look at the other side: that other nations outsource to the USA
as well; and that people, freed of the need to perform the easily
outsourced tasks, can address themselves to even greater things.

There is always some discomfort for individuals -- just imagine how
badly the makers of buggy whips felt as the era of the auto emerged.
Would you rather give up the ease of your auto, or would you rather the
buggy whip manufacturers retooled, retrained and learned how to make
steering wheel covers?

Without the Sumerians, you wouldn't be able to write and read... So,
if I get you, you prefer doing badly a job because you're American
rather than letting someone else (non-American) doing it better than
you do ?

Is my English right ? I speak french :s (don't tell my mom...)
