The bloody cheek of it!

I've recently been helping a guy who goes to the pub with his computer. He's not very good at it - far from it. What's worse is he doesn't listen - "Click on this" "I have done" "No, you haven't" "Click on this" "I have done" "no you haven't" - sometimes I think he forgets I'm looking at his monitor over remote assistance and can see when he's not doing as he's been told! He's your typical luser.

Anyways, I wasn't really going to mention this on here until I went to the pub last night... to be told by the landlord... "Guess what, he's told me that your English isn't very good". Bah, the cheeky fuck. Strangely enough the night before I'd commented that this guy's English was appalling!

Exhibit A:

get onto nero says make new nero digital auto dvd clicked on that the files comes up but there isnt kong on files

Exhibit B:

Ian's told me that you went to pickup your new DVD writer yesterday and that you were wondering about me fitting it.

When would be best for you? I'm free early this evening if you like? 6pm? If you'd rather wait until after the weekend then I think I'm free each evening - let me know which one suits you the most.

One of these exhibits is an email from him to me. The other one is an email from me to him. Both are the complete emails minus salutations. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it is work out which one is which and which one has the better use of the English language. Yeah, I've reread what I wrote and can see some possible punctuation errors, blah blah. I'm not asking which one has perfect English, more of a relative measurement. Okay?

Which exhibit is mine and which one is the luser's?

Exhibit A is you and has the worst use of English Exhibit A is you and has the best use of English Exhibit B is you and has the worst use of English Exhibit B is you and has the best of English View results

I know what's being talked about in the emails makes it somewhat easier to work out who's tech support and who's the novice, so there aren't any prizes...
