Default Getting past the cultural barrier.

Hi,
Just looking for a few tips to help overcome the language and cultural barrier between the US and UK. I've started writing to a pp on death row in florida. For a first time pp i've found it difficult to moderate the amount of slang used. Will this get better with practice? Also I just feel totally stunned when my pp writes about what his country is going to do to him I just don't know what to say yet do I want to ignore the issue? Also it's really difficult to believe it can happen. Does anyone else get this denial? It's just seems so unreal. Help!?!?

Hi, I know exactly what you mean about the language, but don't worry, it get's easier, I've been writing to these guys for about 3 years now, as for the slang, do you mean theirs or yours?
