ohm, what is "pig latin"? In highschool, I learned the basics of Latin in my Ethimology class. Of course, I already forgot all the declination stuff. :laugh:

I only speak English (with a spattering of some other but not enough to count really), but I can speak several dialects and can understand even more. British English (or is that redundantly repetitive) - Fairly good, but still trips me up on occasion Standard American English - Fluent Southern American English - Became fluent while selling insurance door to door in West Virginia Maryland American English (Including Baltimore Variant) - Same words, but you need to attempt to make each word one syllable and one occasion combine several words into one syllable. New England American English New York American English - Learned this from the wife

Oh, I see. :laugh::laugh::laugh: In spanish we have something like the Pig Latin game, and consist in adding an "f" syllable. For example, "I'm doing my homework" is translated to "Estoy haciendo mi tarea", and with this game, it would be something like "Efestofoy hafacifiefendofo mifi tafarefeafa". I think we can do this in english as well: "Ifi'm dofoifing mafy hofomefewofork". Would it be possible in german? Uhm... Ifich hafabefe keifenefe Zafeit... Ifich hafabefe zufu Afarbafeit... Hehehe. ;P

It would be glorious to see mankind at leisure for once. It is nothing but work, work, work. I cannot easily buy a blank-book to write thoughts in; they are commonly ruled for dollars and cents. A[man], seeing me making a minute in the fields, took it for granted that I was calculating my wages. — business! - I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself, than this incessant business.

Its funny really, I was totally crap at languages at school. All I was into was science. I got a U for my French O Level (at 16 years old). U is about 8%. Virtually off the scale, at the wrong end. Anyway, 15 years later I wanted to live in France so I got a book, learn it, move there, and now speak it pretty well.
