Nationalities

 

Some nationalities have nouns for referring two people. For example: a Finn, a Spaniard, a Dane, a Briton, an Arab. 

For most nationalities we can use the adjective as a noun for example a German, an Italian, a Belgian, a Greek, an African. 

Some need woman/man/person added to them,( you can't say "A Dutch") , so if in doubt, e.g : a Dutch man, a French woman , an Irish person, an Icelandic man .

Challenge: Can you mention in comments...

So, e-mailing was a solution for me. A really turning point took place in 2001 when I was invited to an on line course on " How to evalute websites" carried out by another Argentinean - Prof. Norma Scagnoli- working at the University of Illinois. She introduced me into the virtual world and there I met one of my dearest cyberfriends: Prof. Dafne Gonzalez. From that moment my virtual life started. I bagan exploring the net and that same year I opened my firs e-group: English Virtual Community. My first steps on the Internet were really awful.
