a RESPECT for non english parlants

Carlitus: Don't worry, your english is fine. Keep posting. I have a great respect(and envy) for anyone who can speak more that one language. As I'am of spanish descent and I cannot speak spanish. Wish I could.

I wish I could speak Spanish half as well as you speak english. There's an old joke:

If you speak three languages you're trilingual.
If you speak two languages you're bilingual.
If you speak one language you're an American.


And the French think Canadians can't speak french Post all you want, the only way to learn a new language is to use it.

Don't worry Carlitus, your English is fine. Languages are difficult to master, but you seem to be doing a fine job of learning this one.

As a Canadian, I have learned to communicate in English and French. My first language is English. My French is not that good, because I don't get the opportunity to use it much. ( Le Français n'est pas celui bon, parce que je n'obtiens pas l'occasion de l'utiliser beaucoup. ) You have a perfect opportunity to use English here. Keep posting.

Carlitus.....seriously, I would be happy to 'help' you with your English, if you wish....I 'know' only one language fairly well, although certain secondary school teachers 'tried' to teach me French and German...[I resisted, honourably]...

Best way to 'learn it' is to 'use it'...

I also speak fluent 'inebriated', which is my current state, it being 12.30 AM Sunday morning after a night of 'wining and dining' at a local French restaurant...


[having trouble focussing]...

'passa' de mi, jafo, no em 'toquis' més els collons, esponja

it's 12:30?

sh*t

that's why i'm so tired.

goodnight

No, it's only 11:02 am in the morning.

Don't get upset Carlitus, you are not the only one who doesn't speak English very well in this site Your English is fine and if somebody misunderstands your writings, you can always explain your comment with another one Peace brother!

I will no post more comments until my english are perfectcly shakespearian.

EEK! I'll never understand you then!

Don't let anyone stop you ....... I know English speaking people who do worse. If someone is giving you grief, let us know, and we'll send aafuss after them.

"I will no post more comments until my english are perfectcly shakespearian." - Carlitus

Please don't speak Shakespearian English, I never understood a word of that while I was at school

You can speak Cockney English, then I'll under stand you

Orright, Guv'nor...

The King's English is preferable, unless there is no King in which case the Queen's English will do. In the absense of a Queen, we'll settle for the Prince's English. (Just not that darn Charles!)

oooooooohhhhhh kay... what happened??? Somebody say something??? I think your english is pretty good. You have to keep trying before you suceed at something somtimes.

At any rate diveristy is good. And learning is better.

Carlitus don't stop posting comments until your English is perfect not even Jafo speaks the perfect Queens English! hehe

most ppl will understand the basics of what you are trying to say Carlitus

and if not so what?

Yeah! so what? Speak away man!

ok ok...

HEH.... Carlitus. English is a way crazy language, anyway! Even if you spoke whatever is "perfect" english, still a lot of people won't get it wrong. Besides, the more you do it, the better you will get with it.

IMHO... soon we will have an internet language full of universally understood ROTFLMBOs and GMTAs......

IMHO
GM

SHESH... look at my english today....

It could either be ...."a lot of people won't get it" or "a lot of people will get it wrong" NOT "a lot of people won't get it wrong".

Carlitus - Never had a problem with your comments. Of course living and working in agriculture I have had to learn so many different ways to speak Spanish it's unreal. I admire your icon art and enjoy using them. Besides if you can get your message across to ppl then the communique has been delivered no matter what.

hey and another thing....

I think it is good to try to learn a new language and it seems you have a good taking of it. I mean not only are you speaking (typing) english but your using works like "parlents"!!!

That's pretty good.

This (http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/6174/english_crazy.html) is a very funny piece about the English language. It is too long to quote here, but this is how it ends....

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm clock goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn't a race at all). That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it.

I have many international friends (among them graduate level linguistic students) and they all tell me that English is the most nonsensical language there is to learn and one of the hardest. You are doing great and you have my respect.

Listen to GoodMorphing....

Why ole chaps. Doest thou not haveth but a minuscule portion of thy brains?

One is pleased to be-uth able to spake'th in such a manner.

However, it is annoying, and hard to read. so please don't write shakespearean (look, i can't even spell it ), because no body will understand you.

Carlitus, if you like Shakespearian English then heed this slightly modified version of a famous speach:

"To [speak], or not to [speak]
That is the question.
Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows
of outrageous fortune, or to take up arms against a sea of troubles,and
by opposing, end them."

Stand and fight Carlitus. Oppose this sea of troubles and end them.
