Just reading back, mickster just proved my point. At least he knows he is a horrid speller. I am too. Thus, I have Dictionary.com nicknamed in Opera so that I can access it quickly (if I open a new page and type 'dict', then dictionary.com comes up).
Even then, laziness will take the better part of me and I won't bother half the time.
Ah... the eighty five percent.
/me sighs.
I'm glad English is one of my first languages... I am astounded at my non-native-English friends are able to do. In three years of English, they speak it better than most English-natives. However, after three years of Spanish; I can manage to say that I want Taco Bell. I cannot even speak my other primary language, Italian, because the dialect is just too severe -- being a mix of Italian, German, French, and then topped off with some Americanization. I'm studying Arabic, Farsi, Turkish, Japanese, German, Italian, Spanish, and French right now. Easiest are the last three, the Romantic languages; but it's tough to study them all at once since I mix them all together. German is easy if you know English. Turkish and Japanese aren't too bad, although learning Kongi is a whole new experience. Arabic and Farsi: sometimes easy and sometimes difficult; but of the languages I am studying, they are the toughest. Regardless of that, I am still envious of those who learn English from the beginning.
Now after explaining all that, I shall finish by saying that while I can spell words just fine; most of the time I end up saying "Cat my red eating bathroom where?" So while spelling mistakes are relatively simple to fix -- so long as you are familiar with the Romanized alphabet -- just the fact that you are speaking coherant English is already an amazing feat. Alright... enough rambling... this is what being sleepy and eating Pixi Stix makes me do.
Well I just got one thing to say, yes I'm American. Maar ik kan ook Nederlands schrijven als je wilt und selbst Deutsch, kun je me helpen ik wordt gek van de talen hiero...
Ducatti: You have a dutch nationality? and live in america? :P
don't you want to get better?
at speaking english? i would assume so, if you spend so much time on an english-based website
we don't need to speak danish, dutch, swedish, or any other language because english is the most prominently spoken language in the world...not dutch, swedish, or whatever; spanish is #2 and I don't see anybody speaking spanish either; so please hush
Hehe but the most spoken language in the world is still chinees :P
no...no it's not; english is...sorry bud
For the record.
Not all of us that speak English feel the same way as "nothingbutperfect".
Methinks he forgets that for centuries, FRENCH was the language of Diplomacy. Before that , Latin was the common demoninator.
what the hell are you talking about?
