Default "Fluent" in Latin?

that's a good trick - - considering it's NOT A SPOKEN language! (except at the Vatican - and that's even getting rarer)



ankf00 knows................hey I'm with you ankf00! 4 years of Latin - because of it's heavy presence in our native English. (and because I can't roll an 'r' to save my soul - hahahaha)

I liked it - could have done with a bit less translating of Caesar's wars though - -sheesh! bellum THIS!



I speak English - - bastahdized Amer-Spanish (that's Mexican here in Arizona)
- geek (I'm an I.T.admin) - - and mammal.
I remember some Croatian phrases from my youth - - but when the old folks died off my generation never spoke it anymore, so it has atrophied.



truebrit - - I also speak drunkenese quite well, considering.......... - and am a certified professional drunk driver - - hic!

Default hmm...

I wonder if drunkenese is an international language, for I forgot to mention most Finns are quite fluent in that tongue too! As am I.



PS: I should have learned Swedish, but I skipped the Finnish curriculum requirement.

Default Queen's - or "otherwise"?

Li'l humor there trot



I will apologise now to you all for what we are going to have to put up with from the fragile ego of the tinyballed pinnipedhead.

Based on its posts on this thread and others I've seen tonight, it's just going to troll this BBS sniffing my bu-t-t, errrr ...."posts" - and then typing whining puerile insults behind them.

Sad, ain't it?

Default funny

It seems that is exactly what you have done DBG/L8braker. Although I did find it irresistible to note that you, who point out the supposed failings in everyone else's education or alleged abilities, and perceives yourself to be some kind of omniscient intellectual god, can't speak anything other than English. Perhaps you were on the "trade school" track in high school. It just strikes me as an interesting insight that one thing you admite to about yourself - of which you tell nothing other than the likely b.s. that you are a "female" ( ) - shows you to have a deficiency which isn't common among those with a college or even college preperatory background. Crap, I attended public schools - not the "rich private schools" that you allege I attended on 7g - yet I took 3 years of French before I een got to high school.

It doesn't take any kind of grey matter, developed or undeveloped, to call others silly names. But I expect that is all we will be seeing from you, as that is all you can acheive. You can't reveal too mcuh about yourself, because there isn't too much to reveal, other than a young, socially inept male coward who is inflexible and overopinionated.

Default ......

English
Arabic- learned some in the Army, learning more in school. I currently speak at a 5 year old's level.
Spanish- just enough to get myself in trouble.
Korean- my wife speaks it fluently, I just picked a few phrases.
Drunkenese- quite fluent from my time in college and in the Army
