am all "on hold" and shit

English isn't very clear, admittedly. Of course, that probably contributes to why it's fucking UNSURPASSED for art (music, literature). Yeah, too bad it's used for international diplomacy and commerce, but when you come to think of it, that, too is cool: we're a world in which even our business and political interactions use a language of "art" rather than function. How much do we humans rock, eh?

Xfer now i know why other people take so long to understand me... i have to think in order to understand your posts... that makes you a beautiful and intelligent persona :) (in a complete heterosexual stance of course ;)).

And yes... english may go through the most ambiguous ways, but it’s very simple to learn (even Americans speak it ;P). The thing is that every band has to write in English to be understood (Cannibal Corpse not included) and that is a downer for the band’s own nationality.
 
Yes, thank you, I am beautiful and intelligent!

I think it might be simple to learn the rudiments of English, but near-fucking-impossible to master if you're not a native speaker. I would never be able to do it myself, and I have the highest regard for non-native speakers who do master it.

Might I point out that until last year, the only two non-native-speaker Pulitzer-Prize-winning novelists were both Polish. I give mad props to my ethnic heritage!
 
People with most trouble mastering it are probably the ones from Latin speaking communities… like myself (Portugal urrai!).

By the way, my new english teacher is a wank who makes us watch a very politicaly correct comedy named... Keeping our Appearences, or something... i thought you would enjoy knowing that :p
